I've landed on a runway like that. Only 150 feet long but 3,000 feet wide.

Nice Airplane!

I used a technique that I learned studying for a different subject. Every morning leading up to the test, I sat down an wrote out a "cheat sheet." VFR Cloud clearances, the 1-2-3 rule, IFR cruising altitudes, holding pattern speed limits, oxygen requirements, etc. When I got to the test, the...

I suggest advertising 3-4 packages with fixed rates depending on the pilot's needs/interests: 1. Experienced pilot flight review --> $75 (1 hour) 2. Rusty pilot refresher --> $500 (10 hours) 3. FR plus get started on your IR / Commercial / twin / complex /new type / etc. --> $250 (5 hours) 4...

I've been around here long enough to know I might get a pummeling just for asking the question. I still appreciate all the comments. I learn something from all of them.

I just made up the scenario while reviewing local approaches. I wanted to be sure I understood this one correctly. I'm still not entirely sure if i have to fly all the way to the VOR or not. I am now quite sure I need to make the course reversal.

Thanks for all of the feedback. It's truly appreciated.

In the VOR approach for KSYI, if I'm coming in from the North on a heading of 180: Cleared for the approach. Not on vectors. 1. Do I need to pass over the SYI VOR first? 2. Do I always have to do the course reversal?

I stopped flying for 30 years. I'm back now at age 51.

Maybe I should post this on the anonymous forum.

I got 8 hours of actual. Many times we asked for altitude changes to get up into the clouds. The controllers in FL were extremely busy but amazingly accommodating. One of the things I learned was to ask for what you want. On two occasions we asked for a heading change to stay within gliding...

The trip was a huge success! Made it all the way from Nashville to Key West and back in a 3-day weekend. 22.4 hours total. A lot of actual. 10 approaches and a low pass over the space shuttle landing facility. MQY SYI PDK AYS TIX TTS HWO KEYW KPBI PGD TLH HSV MQY Here are a few photos

Later this morning my flight instructor and I are heading out on a 3-day IFR training trip. We are starting in Nashville and heading to the Florida Keys. The first leg: MQY --> PDK. I want to thank everyone on POA for the advice, support, and encouragement. I'm very excited about the trip...

Pretty looking airplane. Congratulations!

I never know how to approach an airport when my route/wind take me straight-in. While I prefer landing straight-in, It makes me feel like a bad citizen of the non-towered club. A straight-in to the upwind and around-the-horn could be a nice substitution. Thoughts?

The last step is to come back here and let us know how it went. So many of these threads end as cliffhangers. It would be much appreciated.

Terrific video. Keep them coming. It made me happy to hear your ATC co-pilot/fiance said things like "with you at 3,300" and "looking for traffic." I thought these faux pas drove controllers mad? I'll feel a lot less guilty the next time I utter "with you."

One is fine as long as you equip it with a parachute. Many are more comfortable with two at night or when in the mountains.

I'm training for my instrument out of Smyrna. Happy to fly with you. I'm also looking for a safety pilot if you're interested. I'll pay the tab on those flights. Please private message me your details.
