    Airport access... Seriously?

    Please pardon this basic question, how does this badging requirement work for transients? Do they just go through an FBO to get access to their plane?

    PP-ASEL checkride pirep

    Do it the way you want. I tended to do mine like you, checkpoints close together, especially at the beginning of the trip. When I talked with my stage-check examiner CFI, he said he would rather see multiple checkpoints early so you know your wind correction is correct. Think about this -- if...

    no training for evacuation

    My school taught us to say, "In case of emergency, meet up at the rear of the plane, avoid the propeller at all times," as part of our passenger briefing. Not sure it need to be more complex than that for a small plane...

    Flight Planner /EFB App comparisons

    I used ForeFlight for about a year during my training, which means that my CFI would use it in the plane to see our ground speed while I had to use the paper sectional and look outside (understandable). My subscription has expired, but I will be re-upping it when I start IFR training in a month...

    PP-ASEL checkride report

    Thanks everyone. :goofy: Thank you for canceling with him, it worked out well for me. Well, my wife has said that if I take anyone up before her, I am in big trouble. :D I have a friend who has to visit the NY Presbyterian Hospital tomorrow and is going to stay with us for the...

    PP-ASEL checkride report

    The first was just, "your engine has failed," while on downwind abeam the numbers. So where you would normally reduce power to 1500RPM, he said to just pull it to idle. I just chose to treat it as a short approach in my head. The second was more of a discussion during initial climb, "so...

    Thankfully no, both engine outs were simulated, sorry for the confusion.

    PP-ASEL checkride report

    After several days of constant worry, and a pretty sleepless night I took the PP-ASEL checkride. I got to the FBO early to finish the flight plan from KCDW to KCXY with updated winds aloft forecast, get a standard briefing and file the flight plan, move my tags from the old AF/D to the new...

    ForeFlight v5.2 now available

    That's how it is at my flight school. I was told in no uncertain terms I was not to pull my ipad from my bag when the stage-check instructor saw I had one during pre-flight briefing. "Pencil and paper only," was what I was told... I contacted ForeFlight and asked for transparency and a...

    Pirep: AOPA FlyQ EFB

    Thanks for posting this. I did the FlyQ eval but unfortunately started it right before I had to take some time off flying, so I really only had a quick chance to look at it. I was impressed by what I saw of it though. How was Flight Planning with FlyQ? Is it as intuitive and easy as it is...

    My flight video with a GoPro camera on my headset

    Your video looks good, but i agree, it is just a bit too high. I did a lot of experimentation with mine - I took one of the sticky footpads and attached it to one of the earcups of my headset and tried using that for a while for my GoPro Hero2. The videos weren't bad, but you'll find that...

    Cirrus on eBay seems really cheap..

    Can someone clarify for me -- if the plane was involved in a prop strike, aren't they required to tear down the engine? Shouldn't the TT for the engine be less than the airframe? Thanks, Kris

    Pet Peeves

    When people spell "a lot" as "alot" it really bugs me. If someone asks my name, and I reply, "Kris," and they write it down as "Chris," it doesn't bother me, they have no way of knowing how it is spelled. But if I send someone an email that clearly has my name in the "from:" field and they...

    I do not like bicyclists

    Bob, I'm really sorry this happened to you, and I hope you have a speedy recovery. I was always taught that if you are on a bike and in the street, you have the same rights and responsibilities as any motorized vehicle (including stopping at red lights, a major pet peeve of mine is when...
