Hey gang, I have been toying around with the relatively new “per leg” altitude planning feature in Foreflight’s profile view. Essentially you can enter crossing altitudes at waypoints along your route and FF plans the vertical course accordingly. Of course, this would appear to be helpful for...

Maybe the point of the discussion is just an exercise…. BUT, why in the world would you do an approach to 28 and circle to land on 23? The breeze would have to be pretty stiff to make a difference wind-wise. I think there is way more risk breaking off an approach to attempt a circle to a...

You hire someone who meets the criteria you set. If you don’t want a youngun who has other life aspirations beyond instructing teaching you, then don’t settle for that. Good instructors are out there. You have to put a little effort into finding the right one and you will absolutely get what...

What type of plane? Only have single Nav radio? Was the glide slope “working” with the flag showing ?

Glider

Get a new CFII and express same concerns to him/her that you’ve stated here…. A good instructor will be able to address the stressful concerns and put a good plan in place to maximize your lessons and tackle those issues. As others have said… everyone has been in this same exact spot. It’s not...

Unfortunately not a very well-formatted website. Can’t seem to use it with an iPhone

People who fly B52 patterns in their single engine piston airplane

Others may have already said this…. But your options of finding an airworthy bird at $25K is limited. Maybe find a partner and shoot for $50K bird?

I’ve had students prep both paper navlogs along with their FF plan…. Although 75% of DPEs I’ve seen prefer to move forward with FF, I’m a firm believer that the mere preparation of a paper plan has made checkrides start out much better. I think the DPEs respect the fact that you know how to do...

You can see what other similar aircraft are listed for on trade a plane or controller. It’s just an indication and not the sales prices obviously. But it’s at least a start for where the market is pricing things. If you’re not in a hurry add some buffer/wiggle room to a fair price and you’ll...

You’d think the TSA wouldn’t do anything about it, since you could be bringing it with you for a “real reason” (ie to use it as a pilot flying an aircraft when you get to your destination).

I routinely get similar clearance/instruction inbound to KADS (busy Dallas airport) from the east. VFR also. They treat VFR’s as if they are in the system so the tower controllers expect you to maintain any previous altitude restriction. Always made sense to me, but as others have stated...

Good feedback.. I feel pretty good about the reviews I see. I would go basicmed but I’m only 36 and still need to get my fair share of classed medical certs for a few more years due to some commercial ops I am in. Fingers crossed!

Hey Gang, I recently have had the need to establish a partnership with an AME org other than the typical one I use near home, due to a significant diagnosis/event I am going thru (colon cancer). I wanted to see if anyone here had experience with “Pilot Medical Solutions Inc” out of Oklahoma...

Car market is crazy right now. When I bought my car in April the sales guy said they were doing trade-ins on year-old models and people were basically getting same money back for their trade-in as they paid for the vehicle year Prior. That’s totally nuts.

I’d say the direct entry is finished once you cross the fix and enter the first turn. Is this a trick question.

Unbelievable that no one was seriously injured…

I started with Foreflight and then moved over to FlyQ at the recommendation of a CFI. I used FlyQ for a few years, then noticed Foreflight had started making some serious additions/improvements to their offering (mostly to the IFR and performance-related stuff as others have mentioned). I...
