Both bailed out, both uninjured! http://www.kiiitv.com/story/25409632/pilots-uninjured-after-us-navy-trainer-plane-crashes-in-the-gulf

Cough once for red and sniffle for green! In all seriousness, hope it went well today for both of you

Congrats!

I bet my life on it for a while, I turned out alright :dunno:

That's the beauty of having your transponder turned off... No reason to fret!

Re: Is it true that it is easier to spot a plane flying from the ground than in the a I've always had difficulty judging what an aircraft 1000' (any altitude) below or above me at different ranges is pictorially when scanning around the sky and I've never been really taught a quick fix for it...

That's a bummer especially during scout aviation day! Glad no one was hurt

Good write-up, glad all was ok

Nailed it, though I wouldn't worry about using time and money in a complex ASEL. Depending on what light twin you plan on training in there really isn't that much you would benefit from ASEL complex. Most of your light twin trainers are docile enough. Get the complex hours with your AMEL

Congrats!

Just study the way they tell you to, all the answers are right in front of you, no surprises Relax, don't cram, and have fun!

Usually once the emergency aircraft lands, the crash crews control the airfield at that point, and it's not until the emergency crews close the case (whatever it may be) that the emergency is considered over. Once you declare an emergency it's an emergency until there is a conclusion (at least...

Flying an IFR/IMC xc is definitely one of the most satisfying and rewarding things you can do following your instrument training. Congrats!

Doesn't sound like you need a kick in the pants from us, it sounds like you have all the motivation you need. Don't worry about the time spent not flying, when it's time, practice and practice to proficiency and you'll be ready. Enjoy each and every flight and good luck!

Wind shear has been a prime factor in many of my most memorable take offs and landings. Be safe!

I'll take a VOR over GPS dependency any day

Nice video!

I hate foggles just as much as the rest guy. I find flying in actual IMC much more disorienting as previously stated with different shades of color and light going by, but also forces you to keep up your scan that much better. Decent tradeoff!

I don't fly helos myself but I really liked how you documented them. I can see these becoming pretty popular instructions pieces in the future for aspiring rotorwing pilots! Keep up the good work
