When she turns on the auto pilot and says "Let's see where it takes us", she has demonstrated all you need to know about her piloting skills. Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time.

Excellent analysis. I tried watching her original video before it was pulled down from the YouTube and I found it too frustrating to get to the end. I can't believe she thought it was a good idea to post it; I skipped to the end where she said she laughed at her mistakes. I found them very...

You're right, it probably was the Dakota I was thinking of. She was fairly behind the airplane in that video. I remember the nose pulling to the left pretty good on roll out.

One of her now missing videos had her flying an Arrow. For some reason I assumed she'd gotten her complex and HP in the Arrow, but I could be wrong on that.

Around the "unintelligible" radio transmissions, her radio calls on her videos from that airplane always sounded bad and somewhat heavy on static (not talking about the content, the actually quality of the transmission), and wasn't she getting close to switching frequencies for flight following...

There was a video where she was flying in circles over the airport because the Garmin G430W was telling her to. I don't know this for certain but she seemed to lean toward the electronics doing the flying for her, and perhaps that's why she seemed so concerned about the autopilot. She may have...

What a good way to start solo actual IMC! Good for you.

I didn't find the comments on the now removed videos particularly inappropriate from a pilot's point of view. They were actually fairly tame considering the fact that in one video she lost her electrical and didn't notice her Garmin stack completely dark or the fact that neither the CFII nor her...

I flew several PA28s with plenty of weight up front: 1. Pilot 210 lbs 2. Passenger 300 lbs 3. Fuel to the tabs 4. 50# of free weights in the baggage compartment. Never had an issue with performance. This configuration was barely in the green but it was in the green and we were fine. Never had...

We just upgraded our '66 Cherokee 180C to ADS-B in/out along with a bunch of other avionics upgrades. Brand new Garmin GTX 345 transponder, refurbished Garmin 530W GPS/radio/display. $22K installed. If anyone is interested, I can get pricing details.

I'm not a fan of doing stalls but I do them. Power off stalls are no big deal to me at all, it's the power on stalls that I don't like doing that much. When my BFR came around, I was hesitant and sweating profusely when it came time to do the stalls, so I did them to get my BFR certification and...
