Same as smltk1. The club there is very new, but compared to the high-volume 141 catering school and the other training/rental business that has been there a while, the guys are nice and the prices are right!

Me, tooooooo! Well...just got checked out in the DA40 G1000. Absolutely and awesomely slick compared to teh dumpy 172 I had been renting.

Is solo only a designation for student pilot, or do you continue to fill out the solo column for when are PIC with no PAX? Since my Private ASEL checkride, Oct. 27, I have added 8.2 hours in 6 flights to my logbook, with only 2.0 for XC, and also including a DA40/G1000 checkout. (Learned in...

The main plane I flew in training and have been renting since is now at approximately 3,900 SMOH. The examiner back in October almost didn't want to fly in it, but didn't make it a major issue of it only to not further extenuate circumstances for my checkride progress. I can tell you the...

Can you control the lights? Leave them on low or med...cycle them to high turning base. Gives you a chance to turn em off and turn em back on to see if that helps even more.

3rd stdby attempt. Chated up lady at desk and she admitted it is first day for new outsourced cabin cleaners causing delays everywhere. Uuugh....

Do not buy AA tickets for your flights! I will be lucky through dfw to my destination tonight. So ****ed! Halfly at myself...I should have been thinkng whenbuying the best airfare deal on the website! At least there is a very nice view of runway ops at my departure airport...

Nice. My best wheelie technique so far was on my checkride last Friday. I got some cool sunglasses on my smilie face right now. And darnit...the comments made me post my first YT comment....

Disagree...depending on agenda of the DPE. Some of them want some easy cash in their pocket! http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52746&page=2 OP, checkride yet?

John, I've read some of your posts/threads. I can see why you think some of this process is ridiculous, too! Thanks for the congrats. Happy to have that stress behind me!

Finally had my checkride on Friday. It was a completely different experience and the DPE was fantastic. Completely professional and was able to teach in a manner that was not based on ego stroking. I was actually enjoying the checkride and working with this DPE. Sure, I was more prepared...

The FSDO adamantly stated that all forms required matching names and that a photo ID was the only way to get my AKTR corrected. I skipped the passport, instead going to the DMV to get my driver license corrected/changed. If you need to correct your name on the DL, the DMV only requires a...

In my inexperienced, but honest opinion, this is getting f'n ridiculous. The 2nd DPE I'm working with is trying to help me, and I let him know what I posted immediately above. He talked to the FSDO. They said a passport will work in lieu of the driver license. Absolutely do not show the...

I don't have the experience compared to others on the board to say "Because I said so, that's why." However, this is highly improbable. There is 40hrs of flying required. 4 hrs a day of flying, plus prep, brief and debrief time...6 hrs a day minimum on flying. I'd say that even devoting...
