I trained on a sundowner and we always had ballast in the back on most flights

Private IFR in Australia has components. Enroute first and add-ons available

Lol, yes, I see that now. Just went with the Northeast subject and PA :-)

More abrupt power changes was the old discussion around engine issues at patterns but I think it never really played out that way statistically

About 15 years ago in Australia I was taught to depart crosswind and over the field, climbing circuit/pattern really and then radio call the overhead departure It was done because i would plan my flight legs using the airfield as the starting point for first magnetic heading, rather than...

Also don't update maps or nextrad, FBO prices etc unless you need it.

I second the T700

I knew this would be Queenstown. Used to go there every year for snow boarding for about 8 years in a row before moving to the States

Agreed, but from the CFI stand-point, you wouldn't be doing steep turns during slow flight manu's. you'll need some performance and power to pull through a true steep turn in level flight. We do 60 degrees as steep for private standards in Australia

You can do a steep turn, but you'll need to full power, lose altitude and pick up airspeed in the process of the turn. Think Emergency turn, Box Canyon turn, Wing overs etc (without climbing portion), i.e. descending turns. You will be unable to remain at same altitude due to slow flight entry

Jacobson Flare. I worked through this system when in Australia. It's engineering based flaring and quite interesting that works well for me.

Congrats!

Adam I flew there today with Sarah. Had a nice lobster roll at Ricks and then took a ride to the dunes for a bit of a walk along the beach and was picked up for the return trip. (You can grab the line guy who drives in his jeep on Unicom if you want to stay at the beech). His ride was $5 each...

Flew just over the southampton TFR today. NY approach is pretty awesome across the board

The pilot ... zoom in to the pic and/or check out his mouth. He is still screaming at the top of his lungs on final approach

Pics required

He is still yelling

I thought the pilot was screaming at the top of his lungs. Obviously the mic but now cannot unsee

I used to have to practice a zoom climb with idle power to gain around 150 to 200 feet depending on day (sundowner), but then your pitch over to glide needs to be near perfect or you eat up the altitude gain. Faster birds of course can gain 300 or so but also typically have a higher glide. My...
