At minute 9:45 in the video, he does the math for the DMMS of a DC3. He says that the dirty minimum air speed for the DC3 is 64 kts and the clean minimum air speed is 68 kts. Then he comes up with the calculation of 68 kts x 1.404 = 89.9 which seems to be incorrect. He seems to actually be...

I have the current Gleim book, but the codes in the back don't correspond to these codes.

The sign had a picture of some Greek god character flying through the air with his arm stretched straight out in front of him with a propeller spinning on the tip of his finger.

No, but the test signup sheet you get from PSI states that. I don't really think that even the FAA has the authority to keep you from carrying at a test. It said no weapons. I usually ignore such things but decided to not test it. It may be like these little pistols signs with a no-no circle...

I guess that is going to be as close as you can get to knowing what you missed.

Yes, I got 3 of those codes, but I couldn't locate where to find them. The FAA sight had something about them, but I couldn't see where to find them. PA.I.B.K1 PA.I.E.K1 PA.I.E.K2

I took the written test yesterday. The college in my town that usually gives the test was still cowering in place because of the Chi-virus. So I drove 90 miles to San Angelo, Tx and took it at an aviation company there. The first thing I saw when entering the testing company was a religious...

A new AME and last, I hope. I will go BasicMed from now on. I did get a 2nd class medical back in the early 70's. Not really much difference now from then except a bit of a hearing loss. That AME passed me with out a hesitation. But the government bureaucracy if much bigger now.

I thought I would follow up on what I ended up going through to get a 3rd class medical certificate for the benefit of anyone who has ear/hearing situations. After the AME decided to send everything to the FAA for the decision as to whether I would get a medical certificate, the FAA decided...

@WDD "with cell service capability to get the GPS" Do you have to have cell service to get GPS? I noticed that when I switched to an older cell phone recently that my former GPS apps stopped working on the discontinued phone.

It seems that GP with IOS is the way to go. I am thinking that I will got with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 32GB Android P first and use Avare, at least during pilot training. My main concern, as a software engineer, is that I think that I can write programs for the android, but not IOS. It is...

Several choices I wasn't aware of mentioned here. I think that I will go with a free app first, maybe Avare. I am just too anti-Apple, so may go with a Samsung product. Thanks for the suggestions.

This may have bee covered many times before, but I am just in the market for getting started with some kind of flight computer. My desires are leaning toward Samsung/Garmin Pilot. Reading somewhere that Garmin Pilot was created for aviation, whereas Foreflight was created to sell IPads, I like...

This man has the answer. Was near sighted all my life. Had required glasses restriction on my commercial driver's license from the day I got it (my 1st and only driver's license). I got cataract and had to have the surgery. $5000 an eye, but my company insurance paid $8000 for the surgery...

There is something I should have pointed out concerning the Gleim course. Once you have taken their main test and afterwards, their review questions test, you can no longer go over or review the test questions again. You can go over the review sheets they give with the course, but not the...
