I was monitoring the local approach and like someone else stated, hopefully the airliner would have TCAS and be talking to ATC, but you are definitely right. Like I said know it was a poor decision, but at the time I felt like it was the best decision I could make versus scud running a few...

First of all, flame on, I know I messed up and made a poor decision. Not afraid to admit it and learn from it. I was alone in the airplane, no passengers. So I went VMC to IMC this weekend. Made a poor decision of trying to push it to an airport under marginal VFR. Got caught in the overcast...

Fixed the original post to clarify any misconception.

I knew that was coming... haha But yeah I see what you are saying. Next time I plan on doing that, nice straight level flight. Her one request was to just get up and land as quickly as possible so that was my reason for deciding on a trip around the pattern. Looking forward to next time and...

Right traffic unfortunately for that day. Wind was only 04, but had a couple other people in the pattern so had to flow with it.

Purchased Sportys IFR course. I also have access to the King course for the written information. Plan on studying and knocking out the written before I begin actual training in the aircraft for the rating. Doing some cross countries now and just enjoying flying. Tonight I will be flying from...

Had my first few passengers on Sunday. Took my gf, who has a huge fear of flying, around the pattern just to get her some time in the plane. She handled it well and said the only thing that really scared her were turns. Felt like she was going to fall out of the airplane. I didn't take a picture...

Yeah once you pass two of their practice tests with at least 80% or higher you receive the endorsement to take the written.

I ended up going with the Sportys IFR course. I will come back after a little while and let you all know what I think of it.

I read Flying the Alaska Wild last year and loved it. Just ordered your recommendation off Amazon for $5.70 shipped. Looking forward to it.

Appreciating this good information. I am a few days away from pulling the trigger on one of these programs for IFR and leaning towards the king middle package with the written and checkride prep. Edit: After seeing Sporty's is half the price I might have to take a serious look at that one too.

What the heck.I got the hat offer but not the $20 discount. Got the redemption code for that deal? Haven't renewed just yet.

I'm a low time private pilot, 65 hours. I'm always running through situations in my head of what could go wrong, but there were only two times I felt what I would call fear. Not panic, just fear. One I was doing a blind take off under the hood with my CFI. I knew he was there, but man was that...

I won't argue with you if the sequel is nothing but awesome airplane scenes. That would make me happy.

I love good sequels... but this one shouldn't be happening. Such a good movie and no need for a sequel.

No answer for you, best of luck getting your medical. Thank you for your service. But as someone else asked, you have a uh60 blackhawk just sitting there gathering dust?? I'll chip in for some fuel when you can fly it again :D

What kind of aircraft did you purchase?

Better to miss a few on the written so the DPE doesn't grill you for getting 100%. Congrats on the solo! Been enojying my PPL, got checked out in our clubs IFR 172. I'm enjoying flying this a lot more than the 152. Much more room and seems a tad more stable. Yesterday I flew into KPDK for the...

Is that BQ1, Gilliam-McConnell Airfield?

I can't make it. Thought I had a Clemson game and could slide in there Sunday, but I forgot I bought tickets to Music Midtown in Atlanta which is an all weekend music festival and my girlfriend would kill me if I wasn't there. But next weekend, the 8th, I'm looking to fly somewhere for the day...
