This is actually what I thought they meant. :D

What I did based on feedback I got from other owners and the internet: - Look over the logs books yourself for any red flags. If you have an A&P in your contacts, have them look over the logs books. This can save you some $$ in going to see the plane. - See the plane yourself. Give it a good...

I'm not sure if anyone asked this actual question, but do you struggle with this on the ground doing theoretical problems or just when you're up in the plane flying? During my PPL training, I struggled a bit if we were coming into an airport that I wasn't familiar with and making decisions...

Not sure on the Lightspeed multiple connections, but can confirm the Bose does work as stated. As someone who damaged their hearing as a youngster, I could not go back from an ANR headset. I have yet to experience a situation where the ANR blocked a noise I needed to hear. The Bose isn't...

Man. Another Boeing manufacturing problem. Are they ever going to stop.

Awesome. Thanks for finding this. THAT is definitely the video I was referring to in my initial post.

When I took the PPL written, I had a similar situation where I had recently moved but had not updated my ID yet. I entered the address that was on my ID when I registered for the exam with PSI. When I setup my FTN in IACRA, I used my new address. Testing center, flight school, FAA, etc. never...

This. Thankfully our t-hangars have bifold doors so I haven't had to deal with it, the airport rules accepted as part of the lease require the hangar door to be closed any time someone is not present. Option B to the OP, start "borrowing" their stuff and leaving it in the apron.

Mine died in my 72 Arrow II in November 2023. Skytec 149-NL FTW. I didn't know how bad mine was until the first start with the Skytec. Only downside is that it was $895 in November and is now $1295 from aircraft spruce. Unless you have a lot of slack, you'll have to rerun the primary wire too.

I did King for both PPL and IR writtens without a CFI anywhere around me and scored 89 and 91 respectively. I spent a lot of time in the PHAK and a little less time in the FAR/AIM as King does a good job of covering the regs you need to know. I also found the King practice tests to be VERY...

Bring both, but they should let you use the electronic one (I used one for IR test a few weeks ago). Use the electronic one. You'll spend the majority of your time flipping through the book looking for the charts, pictures, etc. you can save your self some brain damage. Once you're done with...

That makes sense. I thought it was US based so I've been surprised I couldn't find the incident anywhere.

Correct. It was pilot + an unrelated husband and wife.

I didn't even think of this until you said that. I wonder if the door would be enough to disrupt airflow over the elevator.

So do we think the pilot lied or the passenger that said the pilot told him that the "gauges went out and he lost control" lied? To me, this was the weirdest thing for the pilot to say, so I questioned whether the passenger made it up or the pilot did a really bad CYA. I have never flown an...

I saw a reel this morning on Instagram. I can't find any information on this crash and I'm wondering if all you experts might recall if this is an older incident or new or ??? Reel is only about 30 seconds long. It's a high wing aircraft, single engine, poster said it was a Cessna. Poster also...

I can't believe it. Another Boeing incident

Just because I use an iPad to do flight planning does not mean I cannot perform that function without one.

That's exactly what I said. Maybe I misunderstood Salty's comment originally, but the DPE should not be failing anyone simply for using an iPad to do flight planning. If they can't answer questions about the plan or do any of the manual calculations (which by the way, they likely demonstrated...

The DPE doesn't sit there and watch you take the written exam. This was specifically about a DPE failing a student on a check ride because they did their flight planning on an iPad. Why is that so confusing? If the DPE, during a check ride oral (which I'm assuming is where this story...
