He’s pretty much made up his mind that he doesn’t want to learn VOR/ILS Nav and instead become proficient with just his GPS. I’m not sure -what- GPS navigator he has. Gonna assume Garmin. Heaven help him though when he hops into a different airplane that has some Dynon or Avidyne or whatever...

Jill and I are driving. Hoping to get there around 11:30 to noon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The school I was teaching at had a couple planes that had shielding issues of some sort I was told. How did I switch from gps to VOR? Uhhh, I simply did. Told approach what happened, said I was climbing on the last heading and asked to be vectored around for a VOR approach. Dialed the...

I have had multiple occasions where the GPS lost its mind in the soup. So glad I had a VOR in the plane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. It happens. Big disclaimer: -I- didn’t do that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t find (read as too lazy to look for) the link for the sign up sheet for what people are bringing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right seat (safety pilot) can only log PIC: 1) While acting as said safety pilot and 2) Both pilot have agreed that said safety pilot will be ACTING as PIC at that time. So, be sure you can legally ACT as PIC when planning on doing this. Otherwise it’s just SIC time. Sent from my iPad using...

Regarding the 10 hrs: I think you’ve seen most of the answers here have been, “NO”. Unless (as someone pointed out with an example) you’re going for your Comm BEFORE going for your IFR. I think there was one who said the 10 for Comm had to be -after- the IFR rating and was immediately...

That’s pretty good. What about Saturday, though? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will say if you do your ground ref maneuvers at 1500 AGL then you’ll get to watch the DPE start filling out the notice of disapproval on the way back to the airport… The payoff for these maneuvers is in the traffic pattern. So, do them at traffic pattern altitudes. [emoji56] Sent from my...

Just like I would in a high wing. Eyeball it. You shouldn’t be fixated on the single point. Look at the surrounding area. If the goal is to fly a consistent radius around that point, look at all of the thingies on the ground that intersect that arc circle, you’re about to fly. That barn, then...

I swear I’ve seen another thread that showed some interpretation letter stating that the X/C done for the IFR doesn’t count for either of the “commercial” x/c lessons. Could be wrong, though. Wouldn’t be the first, second, or even third time today… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to be clear, this is correct but only if both pilots must agree that the Safety Pilot will be ACTING as PIC while performing as a Safety Pilot: 61.51(e)(1)(iii) Too many times a safety pilot assumes they can always LOG PIC. Nope. Only if they happened to be ACTING in that scenario. A nit...
