Hi, I've noticed in some recent approach practicing that the GTN 750 Xi in my airplane loads course degrees on the ILS off by around 2 degrees to what is charted on the plate sometimes (sending it to a G5). My question is two-parted: 1. Given how ILS signals work, does the course setting...

Solo-16 PPL-17 IR-18 CPL-19 CFI-19 (checkrides in a month but I’m hopeful) First plane by 25 is the goal but who knows

figured lol just heard a students first solo while out today. As to your concerns though I stand by what’s been said here. While it’s important to plan for, total engine failures are a lot less likely than partial engine failures. Also brief every takeoff. At PDK taking off from 3R my plan if I...

Chances that was you soloing today at PDK?

Not spring and oil but I know a lot of tailwheel a have a bungee cord setup as a shock absorber

https://www.heraldonline.com/news/business/article241914211.html My premature guess is night illusions causing too low approach? 1/4 mile off runway coming in to land. Any other details you guys have?

Just go comment something on a few other posts. It’s an annoying feature to avoid any spam on inappropriate pictures on here. But don’t worry we’ll be able to help!

Honestly can’t state the value of training out of a busy airport. I learned out of a super busy delta but right after I got my private felt comfortable going into a Bravo for a full stop solo, something I don’t think you would get if you training out of a private field. Yes, you will get the...

Great year for me aviation wise. Started the year with getting my IR in February. Have been trying my hardest to put it to use and have gotten 40 actual hours since then so I’m happy with it! Had the chance to fly aerobatics in an extra 300, which was probably the highlight of my Aviation...

if you buy sporties for ground I wouldn’t recommend buying Sheppard air also unless written tests is a major weakness of yours. Sporties test prep prepared me super well for both ppl and ifr written exams.

Thought the exact same thing. Were you a member of the flying club here? -Current GT student

Would recommend looking into the RV planes for sure. The RV 3,4,7/7A,8/8A, and 14/14A all are aero capable.

I got a 100 using sportys and would recommend.

First off I absolutely agree that short field takeoffs are fun and exciting. However on a slightly darker note they are also notably more dangerous (well mostly takeoffs assuming you don’t float down the whole runway refusing to go around). Short field takeoffs give way less room for error in...

+1 here.
