The airport manager sounds like a real piece of work.

From my reading of the text, I think OP did this: The leg measuring 60.73nm was not flown, since the pilot diverted before reaching the airport where the third intended landing was to take place. Neither of the two airports where a landing took place was greater than 50nm straight line...

I did the same with the 10 hours of dual in a complex/TAA for Commercial. Landed my last scheduled dual instruction flight with 9.9 on the hobbs... had to schedule another lesson and take a lap around the pattern with a CFI. Whoops

Come on, Rob Reider is a saint! I used my Ground Instructor credentials to create an account for Sportys CFI Portal after I had already passed my IRA written exam, so I was able to access all their ground school videos free of charge. More information seldom hurts, so I did watch their...

I'd never bought a flag before I moved into this hangar. Felt like it was missing something.

I'm seeing a pattern here. My paternal grandfather died 15 years before my birth.

I just passed the FIA (CFI) knowledge exam with a 98% - pretty simple, it was a mix of Commercial and AGI questions, nothing I hadn't seen before. Still haven't begun my CSEL training, but open cockpit biplane season is rapidly coming to a close in Minnesota, so it's about time to park my...

Consult the Cruise Performance chart in the 'Performance' section of your POH - you'll reference an intersection of RPM, pressure altitude, and air temperature and it corresponds to resulting TAS, percent power, and fuel burn.

Congrats!

Congratulations! Personally, I flew about 150 hours between earning Private and starting my Instrument training, and I finished IR having just logged all the experience requirements for Commercial. I felt like gaining some experience as a VFR pilot was valuable, and having completed all the...

Jeez man, spoiler alert! :raspberry:

I had a couple missions recently that justified renting the R182, which I hadn't flown since January. I took my uncle Greg for a quick local flight and some pattern work to refamiliarize myself before I stuffed it full of people. Greg logged almost 100 transatlantic crossings as a light...

He's current for another 90 days! Edit: Tailwheel currency requires a full stop. Back to ground school for me. :nono:

Excellent. This will make its predecessors cheaper on the used market when (if?) my iPad Air 2 finally ceases to run Foreflight.

One of my pilot friends says it happened so close to his house he could almost see the wreckage from his couch - he shot these photos, and said the recovery crew showed up with a demolition saw, removed the tail, and whisked away the airplane very quickly. The PIC did a great job of finding a...

Still enjoying mine! I just achieved my goal of flying it 100 hours this summer, and doubled the TTAF. :cornut:

Leaseback nightmare scenario.

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/plane-lands-sr-76-occupants-suspected-transporting-narcotics/3632733/?os=roku&ref=app I wonder if the CFI was in on it, or if he just jumped at the student's offer to pay for some sweet night cross country time.

Congrats! My checkride landings have historically been pure ass - you're in good company.
