    Back pressure needed on takeoff & landings in a C172

    Sometimes the elevator can stick. This is more common on PA28s, but it happens on Cessnas as well. Have maintenance lubricate yoke and elevator hinges.

    “If you need anything I’ll be in the back.”

    Correct, if it was issued after April 1, 2016. Ref. 61.19(c)(1).

    Cessna down after stalling on take off

    Yep, even pushing the door open an inch or two yaws the aircraft noticeably. That guy has said a lot of odd things, total nut.

    Southern Living: Bug Proofing a Home

    An apartment with no window doesn't sound legal. I've had good luck using bait stations (e.g. Combat) for roaches, just remember to replace them when the instructions say to or they'll come back. Never had millipedes so can't help with that.

    good movies I might not have seen?

    Just watched Blackberry (2023). Was surprised how good it was considering I'd never heard of it.

    Using Foreflight as a Student Pilot

    To be fair, there's not anything wrong with separate or online groundschool. It's not a problem unless it's used as an excuse to avoid 1-to-1 instruction. It is telling that someone who sells books and online groundschool courses has written essays on how flight instructors don't do enough...

    CFI Signature in Log Book

    If the flights are all on the same day, and fill up a page, then I don't see a problem.

    CFI Signature in Log Book

    Let's imagine that Linberg is right. What are you going to do if your student disappears, changes instructors, or even just flies with a different instructor for one flight before the page is full? Doing it once per page doesn't make a lot of sense.

    Disagree. Her focus on her iPad gave her tunnel vision.

    I'm not talking about the crash flight. I'm talking about her general flying skill.

    Ingalls Field VA 5 dead

    Wind was insane yesterday across most of the state. Last airport I would want to go to is HSP.

    Using Foreflight as a Student Pilot

    You should learn the fundamentals with the building block method. The above method gave us pilots like TNFlygirl who couldn't tell the difference between East and West.

    The wheels are irrelevant. With enough power you can take off with the brakes locked.

    intercom vox over-ride PTT - PFM?

    Maybe the switch tricks the intercom into believing you're transmitting on the radio, but simultaneously disconnects the mic audio from the radio. I can think of other variations on that theme.
