    How do I enter this into a GTN 750?

    I know this thread is old, but for anyone looking for the answer, it is actually easy and doable in flight too. Where I fly it is a standard IFR departure to “fly to intercept radial 123 of ABC VOR to WYPNT fix”. 1. In flight plan start typing the fix and radial: ABC123 2. It will tell you it...

    Is this ASA commerical pilot exam guide answer wrong?

    Kath, dmspilot, 455bu Thank you, makes total sense now. I misread the answer to be posing A and B as sufficient conditions whereas all it's saying is that if a flight has those characteristics then it is for hire, which is indeed intuitive/uncontroversial to me too. I'll sleep soooooo much...

    Is this ASA commerical pilot exam guide answer wrong?

    Trigger warning: this is about common vs private carriage (and Flytenow vs FAA). :confused::confused::confused: You've been warned.. [EDIT: Short answer to the title is "No"] Hi Everyone, aspiring commercial certificate pilot here. So, I've used ASA materials before (private/IFR) and I find...

    Friendly Flight Schools in LA/SM?

    haha :rofl: Hey, I'm all for being shown new horizons, so I guess my next post will be a BE35 v AA/G-5B smack-down.. (or at least, my personal version of it, since I'm sure this must be one of those never ending topics..)

    Yes you CAN (change instructor)!!!

    I agree, there should be more support for teaching how to teach (though personal style is a real big thing..). Ironically, my first instructor was somewhere in his early 60s I would guess, while the second one is a young time-builder..! So funny you say this, as a new PhD faculty, I couldn't...

    Yes you CAN (change instructor)!!!

    Dear fellow aviators, here is my little contribution to the community. It's a small (and trite?) issue, but it brought me back from no-flying-land..: So, after a couple years away from flying -- due to expat-ting -- I found a new home in the US and got back to that IFR ticket I dropped half a...

    Friendly Flight Schools in LA/SM?

    Well, thank you (on both counts!). I would (in fact most likely will) take you up on the offer if you don't mind bringing me up for a ride. I really want to try out a tiger -- somehow my stomach tells me it might be a love story -- but haven't flown bonanza either since I've been in an (almost...

    Kimberly > so far IFR flying is great fun, you should try it ;) So good luck to you too. Mike > you must be insane, why have a V-tail when you could have a shimmy-(front)wheel?? :rofl: Plus, I heard a wise man say the "Tiger is a light, flickably fast fighter-like nice XC cruiser that won't...

    Friendly Flight Schools in LA/SM?

    So, I have been flying with Justice since about January, and I love it. I haven't tried AF or Proteus, so not sure how they score, but had zero problems fitting right in at Justice. Well.. ok had a bit of a problem with an instructor, who just didn't make it for me, but it was as simple as...

    Friendly Flight Schools in LA/SM?

    Hi fellow pilots, newbe here.. I am on the move to a LA and can't wait to resume my flight training - in the shape of IFR training (3 years in the UK made it real hard to train..). There are various flight schools in LA (in fact, in Santa Monica) from american Flyers to Proteus Aviation to...
