TI has pretty well been the standard at most high schools (and a lot of colleges) for a while now. The TI-83 is an awesome calculator, especially when you're trying to learn how different functions graph and how different variables affect the functions. I had some friends in high school...

Only if you're specially approved for it, or your friends supply the car. :)

Yes, and I did solo him the next day. The winds on the first day were direct crosswind (which he can handle fine) but they were also very gusty, which was ok, except I thought "how would I explain to the NTSB that I sent a student on his first solo with the wind the way it is?" and I thought...

Panola County (PMU) is just outside Batesville, Ms and is right on the interstate. You're 30 minutes drive from Memphis and outside the B. Obviously that's to the south; I didn't see which direction you're arriving from. Edit: ok you're coming from the north. I'm not familiar with that...

I posted this on the red board earlier, but I had limited time and didn't get over here. I had a wonderful day today. There is nothing so exciting for an instructor as seeing your student "get it." I had a guy struggling horribly with his landings. The approach was good, just couldn't...

I'll second this. My mother has driven various year Silhouettes since '92, and never bought one new (let someone else take the depriciation hit). I have one now (a '95) and just rolled over 201K miles. I've rebuilt the transmission, but everything else has been routine stuff. When you take...

With Mexican food, I thought that was the point ;)

Also, if I had the Billion dollars, I could afford to do a rotorcraft rating.:)

It's no good. no runway :D

Thanks, that makes sense. Yes, that would. But that's not what was originally stated, so I was a little confrused. Exactly :)

The carb is on top of the engine in the PA28 line. Also, as to the original question, follow the POH. It says no carb heat unless you have symptoms of carb ice, then no carb heat unless you have symptoms of carb ice. If a DE has a problem with you following the POH, there's a bigger...

I can tell you're not in Mississippi:rolleyes: Although, tomorrow is supposed to be great. Well, it's today now but... If all goes well, I have two students who may solo tomorrow. :)

Not every pilot is like that. I had to work a week, take a lesson while I was getting my private, and the instrument wasn't much better, but I paid for good equipment rather than take junk. Then I moved somewhere where the junk was all that was available, and I didn't fly for a while really...

First, I haven't been on this board in a while, so hi, everyone. Second, I don't disagree with you that the section of the AIM quoted covers this situation, but how does turning final automatically relieve you of the altitude restriction as the controller seems to be implying (assuming the...

Don't know about high altitude places like Denver, but Coca-Cola wanted to see what happened with Coke in space, so they worked a deal with NASA and have special cans with straws that don't let the liquid float all over the place and they had to use less carbonation than usual for the device to...
