I’m in Oslo. I know Dombås, and Elverum.

Could say that would be big of me!

could even say hot women…but none of them are my wife so. just realized, specifying “my Norwegian wife” makes it seem like I might have other nationality wives.

Wow….I DID miss a lot! Thanks for the welcome back! Plan is dual instruction, don’t have a current medical but hopefully… and also I’m going to have to take the written again sometime in there. But first things first. Need to see where I am at, how I do, specially on focus and see if I have to...

Hey, been experiencing something like long Covid, but without the Covid. Coming out of it now and really want to start up again. wrong season, but I’m hoping to start up when the weather gets a little better.

Old thread, and all, but it’s a good solution, pushing on the throttle. I had been thinking that in a C172 and some others the instances where the seat guide broke and seat slid back during takeoff. That a persons instinct would probably be to hang on to the throttle and then you are not in...

I don’t know if this helps but, when I started lessons my instructor (a nice guy, great pilot, I like him) would inadvertently stress me out. Had a tendency to bark, and just his style stressed me, and early on I was doing some maneuver he had told me to do, and he was doing that I shut him out...

Thanks for the replies! I just bought that book on Amazon. Also “through the overcast”. Have been reports here in Norway, the Russians are jamming GPS almost every day up in the north of Norway by Finland, since the war in Ukraine started and flights are having to use “other methods” for...

I know this as a four year old thread, but so much interesting here, and I’ve added one book from here to my Amazon cart. What I’ve been wondering a lot about was more over water flying in WWII. In the pacific, where they had to fly to a small island and small errors in nav would have been no...

“I fly roughly 3 days a wk” Well, there’s your problem, try flying smoothly a few times a week! I’m still a student, on hiatus because of health stuff. I haven’t soloed yet either. Good luck! Lots of great advice here from pilots.

I’m 66. I had to pause my flight training because of health issues. Still hoping to get better enough to resume. Other people my age vary from being quick, fit, and optimal to unfit, slow, and not able to handle it. After a certain age, it’s all up to the individual. There is no cutoff age...

Coincidence, I noticed a post by one of the flight club members on Facebook. Just thought to mention, they say after one has a Norwegian PPL (assume the same for Belgian) if you want to fly in the US you have to fill out a form, designate on the form an FSDO to meet up, and one should allow for...

As a (paused currently) student, my first CFI was perfect for me. We spent around 30 - 60 min. before the flight lesson going through what we would be doing. He used a syllabus book, wrote on the whiteboard, went in depth on the days lesson and then we flew and had a debrief. Unfortunately he...

Couple of things. Are you sure the written is in English? I live in Norway and had to take the written in Norwegian (a language I learned at 36, and technical, and legalese Norwegian. It was very tough even for Norwegians). I can only speak about Norway, which is not a member of the EU, but...

Bells and Whistles, and “because we can”. Pet peeve of mine. Someone gave me a really great powerful flashlight to have up at our cabin. It’s rechargeable. This means I have to keep track of the exact charger (because it has a special plug/Jack) and also every damn time I really need it, it’s...

A few years ago, wasn’t a hard landing at all, but on roll out the plane started shaking badly. My first, weird, thought was that “somehow the propeller is out of balance”. It was quite a lot. My CFI even took a few seconds and then said he thought it must be the nose wheel. He took over and...

Sadly no. I haven’t been well the last couple of years, and had to stop training. I’m still hoping to get well enough that I can start up, still a member in my flying club, but it’s been a long time since last. I’m getting some better, and hope to start soon.

Is it possible that even though they tracked the eyes focus point, there was peripheral vision involved? You can widen your vision to take in the sides as well as the over the cowl. Is it possible you who are experienced do that as well? That students tend to get tunnel vision, but experienced...

heh, thanks for the shout out. No, it’s because I had some health issues, and had to stop flying and am very much hoping I can start up soon to get my PPL. I’m not sure if my health issues will stop me, if so I just want to be healthy enough to fly with an instructor if that is what it takes...

I wonder if it is like I experience turbulence. We are creatures of the ground by nature, and on the ground of you drive a car fast and get “airborne” you still inherently know where the ground is (and brace automatically for a jolt when you get back to 0 AGL) but in an airplane you go up, then...
