    Major?

    Does the degree really matter for a pilot job? IDK.

    I can't believe I spun a Cessna 172 twice! Now I'm checkride shy.

    You spun the airplane in your private check ride?

    I can't believe I spun a Cessna 172 twice! Now I'm checkride shy.

    It's hard to get a 172 to enter a fully developed spin. Especially power off. Power-on is another story, yes. Also, perhaps, you were in the incipient spin regimen. But be that as it may, I would not be so quick to do the check ride. What I would recommend you do is get some spin training. Get...

    Runup area/Hold short Etiquette

    Common at KTMB, home to 100+ training aircraft. I see it used when there are four or five folks ready to take off before you and you wanna get in the line with the controller. Just a courtesy, two words to let folks know you're with the program. There's always someone here gets their panties in...

    Do you use flight following when flying VFR?

    No FF = one iPad only :-( FF = two or more!! More magenta lines = more fun!! Also allows you focus on the important things like running your multiple cameras.

    Do you use flight following when flying VFR?

    Perhaps but if I'm doing touch-and-goes out of Homestead X51, I don't think Miami approach wants to hear from me.

    Buy - Experimental or Certified?

    I just sold a nice little Cherokee for $14500 and my friend just sold his Archer for $32k I know he would have taken $28k. The Archer was a good deal with a GNS 530 and a good running high time engine. I think a Cherokee in that price range fits the bill for you.

    New York Approach I'm going to be doing a few touch and goes in the pattern at this little uncontrolled grass strip. I'd like flight following please.

    Do you use flight following when flying VFR?

    I always get it for cross-country trips. Because I'm too lazy to file VFR flight plans. And I always forget to close them. Well actually, I take that back. I'm in Miami and heading north (I'm just talking the Tri-County South Florida area here) you can go east along the coast or west over the...
