Understood, sorry for the confusion. I will begin to ask why more instead of just doing as asked. Solid advice. This was my genuine first solo. In fact that video goes on for two more landings. I just assumed people would only want to see the very first one though. I am somewhat tempted to...

Nah, just gonna keep my mouth shut. I'll post all kinds of videos and just watch the comments from now on.

I would like to thank everyone for there comments, praises, and even criticisms. Kind of a punch in the face coming into this forum. I've been punched in the face before and I am a big boy who can deal with it. I would also like to say I am in no way agitated by the negative posts. It just...

Currently a student, took a few snippets from talking with other private pilots I have met through some of my training. You are correct I was trying to drive traffic while also testing the waters of this forum. You saw 7 minutes of my entire training. My very first solo of all time. I never...

Oh I already knew that. I counted to three but I would have made further adjustments if the pressure didn't feel right. At that point I was just transitioning into slow flight. I understand the principles I have just gotten so much advice on this forum it's hard to keep track of to what you were...

I'm going to ask him about taxiing and leaning. Trimming is a personal preference to grab the knob. Electronic distractions I'm also going to overlook. I am learning to fly the electronics are just for pre-flight and basic in flight information. I rarely look at it unless the plane is stopped...

<?php class intelligence { public function __construct() { print("The more you are aware of, the less you know about what you are aware of."); } } new intelligence(); ?>

I'd wager with our combined experience in software engineering we couldn't name one bug-free software haha

No worries, I appreciate the information you have provided me. I prefer to learn from others. I would have never known to ask about relieving pressure on the nose gear during taxi without posting this video. Everyone on this forum is going to have their own opinions and my job is to ween...

He has never said that I should never touch the yolks during taxi. He was just teaching me to control the plane with rudder control. I am lucky to be in an airspace that not much wind is produced on the ground. I know that this is different with each airspace and I have some understanding of how...

"Any Type A or Type B EFB application, as defined in this AC, may be a substitute for the paper equivalent. When the EFB replaces aeronautical information required by 14 CFR part 91, then a secondary or backup source of aeronautical information necessary for the flight must be available to the...

Good information. I quiet obviously don't know everything about flight. I am only 18 hours into my total flight time. During take off I raise the nose as to not cause a prop strike. During taxi I do not raise up. The only reason I am adamant about not having my left hand on the yolk during...

Thank you! I'm starting to understand that with each post.

Thank you!

My CFI has taught me why I trim I am going into slow flight. I am looking for a speed essentially, however at my home airport in this particular plane the speed I wish to achieve is always at 3 spins on the trim. I'd rather have the Ipad it's great that you like to do things with paper but my...
