Heyyy guys, I know this thread is probably dead (I'll delete it soon) by now but just wanted to let you know I just had a meeting with the FAA this morning, everything went better then I could have hoped, there were no warnings, no enforcements on ANYBODY just some counselings on the spot...

Wingsofglass: I hope so too but I don't think the FAA will take this lightly, 2 of my instructors are being pressured by the school and surely by the FAA in the very close future, I have been sitting at home, in pain and completey broken for what I have done and caused to the people I care...

MachFly: I'll have to get my ppl before I move up to the DA40 then DA42, don't worry my check will be with a Diamond 20 and it does not have a DME. Have a good day :)

Mr Nick: Naw too bad I wish it was an alert area, it says Restricted right on it on my update sectional and we confirmed that with the safety manager. That particular area is known for pilot deviations, the uncontrolled airport is covered by the sand so it matches perfectly with the wasteland...

Rangers Baseball: on my nasa form, I wrote that I have a lot of difficulty getting in touch with anybody (Flight Watch, Flight Following) the radio reception was the worst I have experienced, took me about 5 times to get my flight activated, after that I tried flight following and it was even...

Yes that is correct, I called WX Briefing and no Notams or TFR and the AFB did mention they do have internal notams but it takes sometimes before that information goes to the public, again I have very little experience in flying, in this case flying in the usa, I tried reciting to the best of my...

Captain Ron, I planned everything the night before my flight except the weather input, my flight was at 7am so i woke up at 4 and looked for winds aloft (WCA), measure engine performance, magnetic variances and deviations, tas, gs and all that before I leave for dispatch. At dispatch I called...

Thank you Doc and others for your words of encouragement. L.Adamson: Sir it's funny how you spoke out about the gps, I was gonna save up this month to buy a portable gps but decided not to in the end because this is my last xc before i move up to the diamond 40 where gps are installed...

I was hesistant with my ETA at the time at Gilabend so I went up and circled to find what I was looking for, it was rather hard to see and I cannot visually confirm things until I got really close, during that time I wandered directly south into that R airspace. Thank you sir for asking, I...

My home base is close to gateway (iwa), this is my longest xc flight yet, i used vor for getting to buckeye but discontinued using it because i thought i can manage to the destination with dead reckoning and pilotage, like i said in my post it was my bad decision that contributed to this mishap.

Well, the things is I was pic, I am responsible, I am aware of the the situation and I will gladly take all the blames for things I did but it kills me inside to know that my instructor and the one who authorized my flight will also get into this mess (I respect them and love them very much for...

Hi MachFly, I was flying in a little diamond 20 with around 40-50 hours total and 7 hours xc solo experience. We called the AFB straight away, he was calm on the phone, he stated that no-one was harmed, they had 3 radars on me and had some sort of tracking when I left that airspace, he...

Good morning/evening to all seniors pilot, I am a foreign student pilot currently training in Arizona for my ppl, ifr, cpl and other qualifications. Today was my last solo cross country before I go on an FAA checkride for my ppl, unfortunately it did not go well, my vfr flight planning did...
