GPS ground speed has nothing to do with true air speed. How can you be sure the wind doesn’t change at all during your so called 90 degree 4 way test? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

An RV9 as opposed to a 6, 7, or 14 has a wing that loves to fly at much higher altitudes. I haven’t crossed the Rockies in mine yet but have had it to 17k where I was still climbing at almost 400fpm at 120 knots. Up high mine likes to cruise 155 knots and with a fixed pitch prop uses under 8gph...

An ILS does not use GPS for an approach. An rnav approach uses GPS. I don’t thing the 175 has a nav radio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Haha welcome to NorCal! Great video. Keep up the great work! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

The MDA for that approach is 654 feet above ground level. I wouldn’t have even attempted it and just diverted. Sad he took two innocent lives with him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Best answer right here. Keep in mind an accelerated course is designed to take someone from nothing to checkride. You’re way ahead of the curve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m sure glad to be in that minority. You’re annuals will stay more consistent if you fix everything at every annual and never let items stack up. Either way, I always want to fly a safe plane. So that’s a minority I’m good being in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I've had an instructor that made me do pattern work in a 182 without using the yolk until we were about to touch down. It was a great lesson in trim and using power to use help with pitch. We were going to 20 degrees of flaps as 30 made it hard to trim out. It was an awesome exercise.

Man he hit hard! Glad everyone was ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It was so horrible it was entertaining... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If you have an app that’s free, that means you are the product. Just sayin Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Was it me or was the pilot using a vfr sectional on his ForeFlight? I wouldn’t think that’s very normal for flying in imc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I like the jepp charts. They lost things in the order I brief them. I also like how simple they list the instructions on things like missed approaches, odp’s, and sids. For 100 bucks I’d upgrade in a heartbeat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I saw 146knots on the tas! Almost as fast as an RV Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Maybe maybe not. The percentage of people who survive crash landings in twins is much lower than single engines. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I just updated my panel. I had the 650 and a gtx345 but picked up these two screens plus dual adhrs brand new from GRT for 5k. They can control an autopilot and do pretty much everything you could want. They are the horizon ex models. GRT makes some of the best affordable stuff in the...

Sporties for the videos and course, Sheppard for the written. Got a 95 this time around on the IFR. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It gives you the option of both sides all the time. At my home airport the tower instructs me to enter both right and left down winds all the time depending on certain factors. So I’m glad ForeFlight gives you both options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Night flying is a whole different ball game. I really enjoy it but it ups all the risk factors. During my ppl training I really enjoyed the process even though I was impatient like you! Have fun and be a sponge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Here is the article on my old n number http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2016/09/clearwater-plane-crash-survivor-now.html?m=1 At first it kinda freaked me out but it rarely crosses my mind now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
