I am certainly not in Buffalo, but maybe close enough that the local DPE got that memo but not the retraction.

As another note, even though the regs don’t appear to be written this way, a couple of DPEs in my area require EACH leg to be 50NM+.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer, you WANT to redo it because if you get to your checkride, the DPE is going to make sure you are eligible for the checkride before you begin. This is one of the items he will check. When he sees that you didn’t fully meet the requirements, he will discontinue...

I remember gas as low at $0.69. Circa 1996ish. How low do you remember and roughly what year?

Agreed. The guy who sold me my share of our plane sold out because he bought a 177RG, so for his sake, I’d want to know about any recurring issues too. I’m glad you talked to the FAA to help your fellow owners/pilots.

Really hard to find ANY fault here when there is extremely clear video evidence that the gear WAS extended, we got to see the gear collapse, the landing was made probably close to the stall horn (or maybe with the horn blaring), kept it straight until the very end, and the mixture was pulled...

In my opinion, moderating a forum is similar to refereeing soccer: call every foul and there’s no flow to the game, call nothing and things get out of hand. So where do you draw the line? Somewhere in the reasonable middle. I might draw the line in a slightly different place than the next ref…I...

I missed it! This would have been a blast! Next time I guess…

And to think, this person wouldn’t have to take Fundamentals of Instruction to be a CFI…

This thread is really starting to sour...

What do you mean WV? That's in California!

I still haven't figured out how to fly an airplane without an Angle of Attack!

And quite complex!

I don’t file VFR flight plans. If I’m putzing around the airport (class D) it’s irrelevant, and if I’m going somewhere, I file IFR. The only thing I do besides those two is to go out the the practice area for stalls/steep turns/other maneuvers.

Just a few weeks ago, a bald eagle flew right in front of me while in the downwind while doing some pattern work. Idk if it was the right move, but I advised tower in case there was anyone else in the pattern shortly behind me.

Could do the same with Gear

I would have quit playing. I'm not in college anymore. I get out there and I'm sucking wind after my second shift with NO mask on. I can't imagine back checking hard with something inhibiting my breathing!

Soooo, are you 7600 at the moment, or did you get 7500'd?

PM’d you
