Ok. Was it 07 that the gfc700 became std? Was it an option earlier?

i am looking at a 172S with the G1000 but want the GFC700 as well. If I bought one with a King, any idea what it would cost to retrofit?

I got to take my brother up today for 30 min around the town.. He loved it. I'm based out of Chattanooga. KCHA It's really fun to take other people up and hear the reactions.

I'm trying to get someone now! ;-)

i forgot to mention a lot of the oral.. it was stuff like light signals, airspaces, cloud clearance, maintenance books, AROW, hypoxia, night illusions, etc. last of all was weather. he pulled a metar and taf and had me read them. then he pulled a few of the wx charts and asked me what certain...

my examiner was really easy, though everyone told me he was the hard one. maybe i was prepared? maybe he was not feeling like giving me a hard time? anyway, i stumbled very briefly on the oral on one or two things. first was remembering the 3rd item req'd when i have my private (medical).. which...

Words cannot express the feeling of both relief and satisfaction.

Moved the check ride up to today... I passed! What an awesome Feeling, will post details soon.

You're absolutely right, I'm not necessarily talking about salvaging a sketchy landing, but rather winds moving me around enough to make me question how soft it will end up... Or something of that nature.. Not an unsafe landing. Another example would be too fast for a short field. ( though...

So, I'm brushing up on some studying (i use that term lightly) and just finished my 3 hrs of check ride prep, which was the last regulation prerequisite other than an oral and practical test sign off by my CFI... today started out calm but got quite windy, it was 17G24 or so when we wrapped...

So if you don't have an RCO (I do) would you use 122.0 or 122.2 to open a flight plan airborne? And what does and how does DME work?

Sorry, clarify: 95% on written

Thanks! Well, these are some of the very few I keep learning and/or forgetting. I got a 95% on my practical test, but these were some of the lingering questions as my wife was quizzing me from Haynes oral exam guide book... Which I haven't studied yet. Lots to know and I've retained a lot...

What is the purpose of TACAN and DME with regard to VORs? What exactly do they do and how? Seems like VORs are VORs when it comes to navigating. Also, where and how do you determine if a VOR is terminal, low or high? In the A/FD? What about the sectional? Are they usually one of the three...

but does a woodchuck still chuck wood?

you might call me young, but i certainly dont feel like i have those empty brain cells. im pretty sure other stuff is falling out as i learn this.

cool. thanks everyone for the very thorough answers. this was my first post here and, man, what a better message board than the other one i was visiting, where no one ever responded! I got a 95% on my written and know where my weak areas are (and am making a list of those as I read through...

So, I'm studying for my check ride. I have the PTS, Gleim Private Flight Maneuvers and the ASA Book. I also bought the king school online "course." What I am wondering: how similar is a check ride oral to the king school demo? It seemed so informal and easy, yet that isnt my understanding of...
