I will be filing and coming from KVLD, which is simply a stop along the way. I don’t have a ton of experience in class B and I know they will give me vectors, but anyone have any experience in this airspace and landing at KSPG you would like to share? I hear they keep you pretty low coming in...

Hey POA! Question as we are now in summer season. I fly mostly VFR but I do have my instrument rating. I fly around class C airspace most often. Suppose you have filed a flight plan IFR and you are starting decent per instructions of ATC. let’s also assume that this is most VfR weather with...

I recently moved into a home that is closer to the airport and thought I would try to see if my handheld would pick up better. I found I was actually getting some decent sound though not great. Then I started thinking about connecting an external antenna. The home already has an external...

I learned a lot from watching videos and applying what my CFI taught me. I recently passed my IFR rating, but I have not yet had the chance to fly in clouds. So I decided to make a night flight on an IFR flight plan that I did this week. Thought I would share my video to anyone who wants. I...

Is it safe to say they may be helicopter parents on an aviation forum?

There was nothing unexpected. Basically you need to print the airman certification booklet and go through it in detail. First thing I would say it make sure all your paperwork is ready and organized. I had everything in a folder and note cards ready to go. I even took a picture of my planes...

Actually no real surprise. I was well prepared. I took my time. I would say that in my case I treated it like I was taking someone up for the first time and explaining in detail everything that I was doing and all the instruments from the moment we started up until we finished. Because we are...

Funny. Not for me most likely. I just wanted to have some flexibility. But you never know!

I just passed mine today. just posted that on cleared for the approach messages. Great feeling to get that over with and done. Keep working at it!

In what has been a long time coming, with weather delays, COVID-19 delays, more weather delays, I passed my check ride today. Of course, good CFII is important, but also spent a lot of time on this site learning from others. Thanks to all.

I actually didn’t think this question would get much response. Thanks to all those who address and I learned a lot from the discussion. As I originally stated, this is for a check ride and I just wanted to clear up my thinking. Like many of you, I seriously doubt I will be doing many real life...

This is for an upcoming checkride. I have practiced only a couple of circling approaches. Using KEET, runway 16 as an example, the opposite side is RW 34 which is right traffic. If I were in IMC, broke below the clouds to do a circling approach, would I still stick with the right traffic or...

I know you may not be checking, but no negative comments here either. I am working on my instrument and there has been delay after delay. I have some IMC and have been very nervous about actual IMC flying on my own. Reading your comments and experience is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think it was the amount. I am glad to know he posted the question should it ever come up with me. Personally wouldn't be upset over $10. Regarding medical, don't worry, Bernie is going to take of that ;-)

You guys are so lucky. Here in AL we just have clouds all the time. I have had to reschedule my Instrument check ride twice due to bad weather!

You know there is some lucky pilot out that who was able to get it on the last day of being 39. Lottery ticket!

If this were the case, about half of the questions on POA would not have been asked. I understand his question because i asked it as well. You just find it had to believe you get to wait five years so double checking calms the concerns.

fake account...but you put that app on your smart phone, tablet, or even lookmit up online, they track you! Facebook see everything.

As a side note, i am now 44 and decide to do basic med since i am not getting my commercial. However, you can’t start off with BasicMed, from my understanding. So all worked out well for me in my situation.

I was in the exact same situation, and 39 at the time. You get 5 years.
