3+ years into this and on to charter flying, I had a ton of fun teaching but whoever said they don't pay you enough and students will beat the love of flying out of you is right. I cringe when I have a student now, I do have over 1000 hrs dual given however.

:yeahthat: There is nothing here to even worry about. You weren't paid to fly, he wasn't paid to take the picture, nothing was intentional, just spur of the moment. Whoever posted that PDF... it has nothing to do with this situation at all.

You people that take 2-3 min to do the runup... what are you doing that takes so long? I am genuinely curious. I complete the entire thing in under 45 seconds if I am slow.

Is this VFR only or does all IFR traffic have to do it also?

:yeahthat: Happens at DEN all the time, especially at night. They come back with "NXXXX contact tower 133.3, good night" Works everytime

For me, it is being able to say "no". There are times when someone will offer you the world if you take the flight. Self-confidence is key.

This is like killing someone, going into the police station to say you did it and expecting to walk out with a golden ribbon... Nothing in this situation will turn out well if you don't keep it zipped... that includes posting on the WORLD wide web

Flying into Gateway on my multi CR, ATC calls up and says Seminole XXXAT verify you are squawking VFR... Turns out we were squawking the same code as a Southwest flight coming into Phoenix. Totally unrelated, when I moved here to Iowa, I was going through my flight bag, saw my medical, put...

One last question, then I will let sleeping dogs lie... As a controller, which do you prefer?

Okay, as far as radar monitoring is required... is there a place that shows what radar is available? We have KALO which is as close to a TRSA as can be without being called one... but past that? Take for example, KALO (Waterloo) to KSYI (Tennessee). How can I be guaranteed that there...

Are there any controllers here? The vast majority of flight instructors and pilots around my home airport say to file GPS direct all the time. I was taught to use Victor airways as much as possible. What gives? Case in point...

Thank you sir... doubly so for the knowledge.

Hello~ I just got done reading the thread about CFIs being totally pompus a-holes based on the fact that they have a CFI ticket. I feel totally opposite. I want to learn, I have 300 hrs. TT. I see this as a phenomenal learning opportunity as well as cultivating the present and next...
