    172/Cherokee gotchas

    One door sucks. You best see if you wife can get into one before you buy. My dad doesn’t need a wheel chair but I can’t see bringing him in our pa28 cause once I am in who’s going to make sure he can get up and in? And shoving him in the back is likely problematic too. And yes it does not...

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    And to make it more depressing, think about the % of people who didn't divorce but are unhappy in one way or another.

    A new panel with only GPS navigation for IFR flying

    Feels liken there is a forgone conclusion so don’t get why post the question at all. Also feel like there is a fair bit of making excuses in face of clear benefits. And somehow bit of resignation mixed in as well “oh well it’ll be too hard”. I mean if vor is too hard then partial panel is what...

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    Don’t ATC have to have medicals as well? They do here in Canada. This seems like out of context stuff here.

    Sport Pilot training/plane question

    Why sport pilot when you are retired? Likely not a lot more time for someone who can go train everyday there’s good weather to get your ppl.

    Headset Evaluation

    Zulus only does one Bluetooth at a time. If your plans are to do this for a job you’ll move into instructing? If so then you might be using. A headset for a while. In that case then maybe worth the money. However, lower cost ANC headsets works well too. So don’t discount those.

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    I could have gone the aviation career path myself back in my 20s. I didn't actually got my ticket till I am 41 and now it is a hobby not a job. The enjoyment I feel flying makes me regret the decision I made not to make it a career 20 years ago, but I can't tell you sitting here now if I had...

    What kept you going through training?

    Still to me reads a lot like you set some mental picture of some expectations of what flying equals and the target isn’t just flying. You also keep kicking yourself and as someone mentioned you show some signs of resignation attitude. Your mind set is that you survived by dumb luck. If that is...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    For the most part I trust when they say you are ready. Especially when they start messaging on their phone while you fly. I think in most cases when people are told they are ready the instructor had stopped hovering over the controls, and basically you had been flying the plane all on your own...

    What kept you going through training?

    Hating solo? Most people worry about it, but hating it? That’s different. I mean you should feel a rush after. If you don’t and simply hated it and fear it then what exactly are pushing for? Unless your goal is to keep punishing yourself, why? Prep for xc can be annoying especially when you...

    Rotax clone from China?

    Foxconn which is a Taiwanese is a huge part of Apple manufacturing. And they do that on mainland China and now moving to India. If you trust Taiwan to make leading edge (and who doesn’t) silicon chips, it makes sense. It is irrational and simply bias view to think China = low quality. Many...

    Rotax clone from China?

    You know this is kinda funny. One one hand some people goes on about the Chinese system being a barrier to them doing certain things, which is actually completely false. Or there wouldn’t be so much fear about their military build up. And on the other people cheering on the concept of market...

    Rotax clone from China?

    Isn’t this engine only for experimental? And people puts all sorts of engines? If it ever goes to the certified market I think you’d be assured? Although even then with our low numbers any new engine will take a while to iron out..
