I recently got checked out by a doctor on campus, and he also said I have high blood pressure. In any case, you're good for five years!...or two...depends :)

Good point. I guess it just has to do with being extra careful, seeing as you don't even need radios, or can depart any runway you wish.

Computer failure?

Thought this would be an interesting topic. I have to do an individual report on a problem in my field of study before the semester ends. I chose the effects that the tower closures on airports would have on the safe operation of aircraft around those airports. This would especially be true...

Not correct. The question I asked was strictly for informational purposes. I agree. Taking a step back, the rule does make more sense. My question dealt with getting back up to requirements if you went past 90 days, but all you would do then is go up and do them by yourself. Everything's a...

Like I said, to my knowledge... SUNY Aviation has 22 planes I believe. And please do. I love examples :)

We've got SUNY Aviation and Nassau Flyers...only one's on the field to my knowledge. You're right; chances are student's don't hold their altitude. As to staying at the exact TPA creating collision hazards, you really shouldn't be that close to another aircraft regardless. I was speaking in...

80 feet is 80 feet. And a discrepancy is a discrepancy.

I've got the tower's number at the ready, so I might call them later today and find out. Not too sure if they'd be happy with that, though...

I'm currently rocking the 'Cabin Chime' for my notification sound on my Android phone, that I downloaded from an app called Zedge. However, I'm looking for some others. Maybe some of the sounds from the GPWS, as seen (or heard) in the video below... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs4TwmdH_-w...

TPA is still established as 1100 by the tower, flight instructors, and everyone else who uses the airport.

I conduct all of my flight training out of Republic airport, located in Farmingdale, on Long Island, New York. I recently came across what might be a significant discrepancy in the traffic pattern altitude: what ATC and everyone else uses as opposed to what the AF/D states. In the following...

That seems silly... :goofy:

Thanks, appreciate it. From the only two night flights that I had (to receive the proper requirements for Private), I was both anxious and amazed. At least next time I'll be able to look around a bit more.

I suspect you are looking for the same?

Not necessarily one's you need a subscription for. Just apps under the $15 limit, or free one's that provide useful information. I've discovered some, but I suspect there are hidden gems I have yet to find out about.

Rules that I go over my instructor, is if you are above 800 feet, you can turn back and attempt a landing on any available runway or taxiway. Below 800 feet, look within the area of the windscreen for a place to land.

Gotta be careful with this. Cross-control turn back towards the runway with the engine out could potentially put you in a spin.

Just had my Private and passed. Only fluke was when the check airmen took my mic in the pattern he diverted me to. Initially, ATC told us to continue downwind and look for traffic. Then she told us the clearance again. She then told us to turn direct the numbers, but I didn't hear it at the...

Recap: within 90 days, you can carry passengers. Past 90 days: only yourself, unless you do three more takeoffs and landings by yourself. Got it, thanks.
