Congratulations!

Please pardon this basic question, how does this badging requirement work for transients? Do they just go through an FBO to get access to their plane?

Do it the way you want. I tended to do mine like you, checkpoints close together, especially at the beginning of the trip. When I talked with my stage-check examiner CFI, he said he would rather see multiple checkpoints early so you know your wind correction is correct. Think about this -- if...

My school taught us to say, "In case of emergency, meet up at the rear of the plane, avoid the propeller at all times," as part of our passenger briefing. Not sure it need to be more complex than that for a small plane...

Congrats, and great wite-up!

Congrats!

Great write-up, and again, congrats!!

I used ForeFlight for about a year during my training, which means that my CFI would use it in the plane to see our ground speed while I had to use the paper sectional and look outside (understandable). My subscription has expired, but I will be re-upping it when I start IFR training in a month...

Congrats! :)

Thanks everyone. :goofy: Thank you for canceling with him, it worked out well for me. Well, my wife has said that if I take anyone up before her, I am in big trouble. :D I have a friend who has to visit the NY Presbyterian Hospital tomorrow and is going to stay with us for the...

The first was just, "your engine has failed," while on downwind abeam the numbers. So where you would normally reduce power to 1500RPM, he said to just pull it to idle. I just chose to treat it as a short approach in my head. The second was more of a discussion during initial climb, "so...

Thankfully no, both engine outs were simulated, sorry for the confusion.

After several days of constant worry, and a pretty sleepless night I took the PP-ASEL checkride. I got to the FBO early to finish the flight plan from KCDW to KCXY with updated winds aloft forecast, get a standard briefing and file the flight plan, move my tags from the old AF/D to the new...

That's how it is at my flight school. I was told in no uncertain terms I was not to pull my ipad from my bag when the stage-check instructor saw I had one during pre-flight briefing. "Pencil and paper only," was what I was told... I contacted ForeFlight and asked for transparency and a...

Thanks for posting this. I did the FlyQ eval but unfortunately started it right before I had to take some time off flying, so I really only had a quick chance to look at it. I was impressed by what I saw of it though. How was Flight Planning with FlyQ? Is it as intuitive and easy as it is...
