    CFI says I can’t use electronic E6B on written — what??

    my flight

    My first GA flight was around 1992 in a C180. That was pretty cool. I even landed before the plane as that was my first skydive jump. :)

    Combining high insurance and property taxes Texas is not much different: I pay around 10k for an old small house

    How much wind is too much?

    Also, on my PPL check ride the wind was direct 10-knot crosswind... I passed because my cfi had me practice the day before with the same wind... Tons of xwind landings those 2 days.

    How much wind is too much?

    This reminds me of an overcast day when I was a student pilot. I was flying with my cfi when it started raining. Visibility was good. I started to freak out and suggested we return immediately to the airport. My cfi then said "it's raining, so what? You can see outside, plane is flying the...

    Hiring standards are dropping

    I see the opposite, at least in IT. You have to be a god in all areas/services for all cloud providers and have 20 years of experience doing so... Sometimes I LOL when reading these ads

    How often do you fly with a CFI or instructor..

    At least once a year for club reviews. Last year I flew with a CFI fairly often while working on my commercial.

    IFR Flight Training.

    Like others mentioned, flying the plane by the numbers is a key thing, so you don't end up chasing speeds and can reduce your workload. Also, learn to fly altitudes, headings, course intercepts, climbing turns/descents before diving into approaches.

    “Resume own Nav” while IFR

    When I get this deviation from ATC, they 99% clear me back into the route by giving me direct to next waypoint, like others mentioned.

    “Resume own Nav” while IFR

    I think the best action would be for you to select the flight plan leg that made more sense after Bravo waypoint and then "activate leg" on your GPS.

    Evading interior border checkpoints by flying over them

    That was similar to what I was thinking. Plot is this guy that flies skydivers out of a border town, then it's approached by goons to fly illegals over the border. He then comes up with the idea of going up to 16k or so on a night with strong southerly winds, slump the illegals using static line.
