Got my own lesson on ADSB weather this weekend. Was making a breakfast run with my daughter on Sat. Did a full wx briefing in ForeFlight - all clear. Read the forecast discussion in the TAF - all clear. Refreshed and re-brief after pre-flight. Still clear. Enroute - ADSB weather clear. Get close...

Bad reference on my part. I can’t read dates or tell time

Page 12, Instrument PTS standards. “The examiner may not assist the applicant in the management of the aircraft….” https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/training_testing/testing/test_standards/instrument_rating_pts_change5.pdf

In a checkride, you are PIC. Therefore, you have to meet the requirements to act as PIC, which includes a current medical (of whatever form your certificate requires)

Oh - let me be clear - I don’t watch his content and am not about to start. I’m just not going to miss the opportunity to learn from it because of what I may think of him.

Learning that I don’t have to like someone(or agree with them) to learn something from them was pretty much the only way I managed to get through school.

Was not previously in my checklist. I check parking brake off but don’t test pressure. Added this morning! Thanks

Devils Lake State Park is an amazing place to spend the day. Hiking, rock climbing, the lake. You could go from Madison or fly into KDLL or 91C. (If you zoom in on the rocks toward the top - you’ll see some climbers)

Thanks all. So, not harmful - but probably not helpful. Sounds like how my wife describes me Reason for the phone - I have ForeFlight running - use it for scratchpad and checklists primarily. Honestly, once I push “send to panel”, I don’t really look at it. I do like the audible checklist -...

Hi all Looking for a new solution for mounting my iPhone in the cockpit and have been thinking about using a MagSafe mount/charger - but am concerned about introducing interference. Have been searching forums and not finding anything. Any thoughts, experiences, opinions on using a MagSafe...

+1 for 1C5. Lou Malnatis is close - but you can also try Little Pops which is a short drive to Naperville. NY style and VERY good. https://www.littlepopspizzeria.com/ Added bonus, if you need a doc after the food - Dr Bruce is there for you.

+1 for the Remington 700. You might look into the 7MM-08. It’s a 308 necked down to a 7mm round. Very flat, flatter than the 308, better range, and lower recoil. Incredible round - lots of versatility.

May you? Should you? Sounds like you may, but it has some regulatory grey and some big ADM questions. As to the should? I find myself humbled often by how little I still know in (life, business, marriage, parenting, diving, flying) and have been doing all above for more than a few years. Good...

Same. Certified at 10 years old. First dive after certification, 80 ft wreck off of Pensacola. Parents were back at the hotel. No one batted an eye. Last summer, dive charter wanted to review my logbooks to “ok” me for a 100 ft dive. Master Diver with over 3000 hrs of bottom time, but sure -...

Wow - this comment just brought back a flood of memories. Early/Mid 80’s, flying with my Dad out of RYY. No intercom in those days. He’s descending for what I thought was landing on 9 at RYY, but the mountain was on the wrong side of the plane. What the heck is going on? As we cross the...

Exactly one time. Never again. Why anyone would voluntarily participate in that experience AND pay for the (dis)pleasure is beyond me.

Yep. You are 100% correct. You’ll never account for everything, but that probably should not stop you from accounting for the things that you can reasonably account for. That applies to both the location comment as well as the altitude stall/spin. Running my checklist and briefing my...

I need no law or regulation to prevent me from using a plane to do harm to others or property. Similarly, I need to law or regulation to prevent me from using a firearm to do harm to others or property. I would venture to say that is true of all in this thread. Equally, no law or regulation...

May want to try using DuckDuckGo with search operators. I stopped using G a few years ago. Find ddg is faster, better options for search, and for privacy - there is no comparison. Here’s a link with how the search operators work...

For what it’s worth… It sounds like some of the pressure you are putting on yourself starts with your self assessment as a ‘high hour student”. I suggest you stop thinking of yourself as a ‘60 hour student’ and recognize that flying skills are highly perishable. You are, in reality, a 25 hour...
