I've never had an issue understanding American or Mexican ATC. Canadian, however, was difficult.

Mine is also no longer providing data.

Watch your step at gliderports.

Not a Viper guy. The 172 sim seemed to be older than Redbird. I don't know who made it.

I use it and will get emails about interesting seminars.

I've had different experiences with sims. USAF F-16 sims are awesome and pretty realistic. A 172 sim, however, used by the FAA in Oklahoma City let me stall and spin too easily (in reality, I've had to hold pro-spin inputs in a 172 to prevent it from recovering on its own). While practicing an...

The AME will hand you a sheet of paper with your medical certificate above a dashed line and some verbiage below the line, "Dear Airman: Above is your new medical certificate. It supersedes any previous one you may have been issued."

Pay cash and ask not to be formally diagnosed. Insurance companies want a dx code as part of the claim. I used to work for a behavioral health provider and helping the billing department was part of the job.

The aircraft lost contact with the ground. Is that a loggable takeoff and landing?

Hypothetically you didn't have a valid medical certificate with you during the flight.

There is one case I know of where a glider caught fire after landing because of overheated brakes.

I've been conservative when venturing away from the gliderport. I'll ensure I'm within glide range of the landable field ahead before going beyond glide range of the field behind. I haven't had to land out yet although the closest was 600 agl on base leg at an uncontrolled airport before picking...

I've always liked the King mock oral exam videos.

Since you may someday have to teach the FOI to a CFI-candidate perhaps your DPE would be pleased to see that you have lesson plans and presentations for the FOI so that you won't have to memorize everything for your checkride.

FAR 61.41 makes it possible for Canadian time to be recognized by the US. I don't know if the opposite is true. https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=3b69bf6bf2ae62e92252b6c0c14a0798&mc=true&node=se14.2.61_141&rgn=div8

I once returned from a long trip to the midwest and the only instrument approach I had to shoot was into Tucson. I know another pilot who did have to go on instruments due to heavy dust between Phoenix and Tucson and use the ILS to get in.

Parked at KSMO and heading back to Tucson tomorrow. But, lunch first.

There is a dedicated and coordinated effort towards the, "Othering" of gunowners.

Knowing Mill Avenue I'm not surprised given the number of cars parked along the road, the jaywalkers, cars at a standstill, etc.
