You have a lot of good answers/discussion here, you may need to improve your post ignoring skills.

Typically this would be done in preflight planning, however you can use your DG to get a mental picture. Your DG will show you where the approach end of runway X would be if you were on the extended centerline. Imagine the runway extending from that direction(with the opposite end being the...

From that video, the 'big thing that nobody is saying' is that.... And I'm paraphrasing here, I'm not watching it again.... "She didn't do a safety debriefing after her recorded flights"

In the video where she takes him on his first flight with her after her private check ride, she comments on how he gets motion sickness and when he takes controls from time to time he does the double hand grip which you wouldn't expect from a pilot. Doesn't seem like a pilot or DPE to me.

I think that was a joke, as in, he is playing DPE for me today.

I think a good take away from this other than the importance of general proficiency is avoiding task fixation. From an FAA seminar flyer: "Task-saturation and its cousin Task-fixation. One is caused by having too much to do without enough time the other is telescoping your attention, sometimes...

They should have given the engineer that designed this an additional requirement: you must be slapped in the face once for every required sump point checked by every pilot who uses this every time they use it. Maybe they would have designed it better. I'd rather be slapped twice than 13...

Can't see the picture? here it is:

From the picture posted earlier, on page 1 of this thread, The turn coordinator wasn't the most common type (with the airplane wing depiction), the DG wasn't most the common type(with the airplane top down depiction), the compass motion may have been opposite to what the pilot was accustomed...

Bar membership!! Yes! :cheers: jk

Yeah that drop down threw me off for a sec till I figured out you don't have to use it.

This new font is ginormous.

Duh, nevermind, its called "What's new" now.

How do you get the 'recent' posts view now? That was basically the only view I used, I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'm blind?

Forget about #3, that will just happen as part of #2 as your speed decays you'll require more nose up pitch to "hold it off" / stay level. Don't sweat the 60 hours, it takes what it takes, I'll bet a small portion of that 60 is landing practice. Also another perspective on the expense...
