    Advice on becoming a commercial pilot.

    I'm not the OP that you are directing the comment too, but one reason I am moving from upstate SC to Atlanta this summer.

    Advice on becoming a commercial pilot.

    Just did a quick search on this, never heard of it. I might be looking at the wrong program Lower overall costs?? I guess they are factoring in building the 1500 hours without flight instructing, but I could get my CPL/CFI and then build time for a quarter of that cost. I guess the guaranteed...

    Everyone should be taught how to do spins and spin recovery.

    I did not do spin training before completing my PPL. I do plan on getting it done some day soon.

    Advice on becoming a commercial pilot.

    In the same situation. I am 28 years old, PPL with around 75 hours and am a middle school teacher. Not the best paying job. I plug away at whatever hours I can now while working, and plan on finding a new job after this school year is over and taking out a loan to finish the rest of my training...

    TBM 930 Factory pick up

    Looks like an amazing trip. Love the TBMs. I watch Steveo1kinevos videos all the time and am jealous of people that get to fly them regularly.

    Air-to-Air Cessna 150 - Ranger Sweepstakes Plane

    Beautiful pics. I flew my friends straight tailed 150 and it was a great flying bird. I just received my paper copy of trade a plane and honestly didn't really pay attention to the cover.. Need to check it out when I get home.

    Southeast Pre-Christmas Meet-up (Runway Cafe @ GMU) 12/15

    I might have laughed out loud to this one.

    Southeast Pre-Christmas Meet-up (Runway Cafe @ GMU) 12/15

    I can't make it the 22nd. Really would like to get to this one. I don't think I have any issues with the 8/15th but taking a few minutes to check that out and then will vote.

    Flying a 152?

    Our club 152 is placarded against intentional spins.

    Flying a 152?

    I agree with the second quote. Did my primary in a 152, around 45 hours. Not that a 152 is hard to land, just affected much more by the wind, and more sensitive to control input. I find myself pulling back on it too much and ballooning my first landing after I fly the 172 for a while. The 172...

    Mounting iPad in a C172

    I use a mini as well. I think it is the perfect size for the cockpit. I really dislike yoke mounts, have used one twice and just felt way too bulky and didn't like it. I use a ram suction cup mount on the left side of the windscreen. Puts the Ipad right above the air speed indicator, easy view...

    Running out of fuel

    I plan for time rather than distance, and have increased margins over the basic reserves required. I don't understand how people can run out of fuel unless in some kind of emergency situation. My girlfriend likes to drive all the way down to the distance to empty is around 5 miles. I have seen...

    Another crash at GMU

    Heard the discussion now between city officials is adding emergency services on sight due to the frequency of accidents.

    MegaMillions winner.. what do you buy?

    We had a work pool too, and the winning ticket was bought not too far away from me. Oh well, I had a fun two days of dreaming.

    Another crash at GMU

    This isn't my home airport but very close by and I fly in quite frequently. Third crash there in less than three months. I'm curious if this has any negative effect on the controllers or airport management? Do they have any negative consequences because of these crashes, training, funding...

    Have a great opportunity for avation headsets what would you do?

    I bought my A20 early on in my training and have no regrets. If I had access to the X though for that price at the time I was buying I probably would have done that though. Having the bluetooth for longer cross countries is nice.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    It's a great feeling. Even better when you pass your checkride. Keep at it!
