    Is this alleged F/A 18 pilot + CFI a fake?

    spot on, unless there was some type of discharge that would work against him. Nevertheless military pilots find a pool of contacts for flying jobs on the outside. My guess is this guy is fishing for attention and most likely has poor self esteem. You could entertain the idea or question his...

    Flight Following and Entering Class B

    Airspace busts are common and I know plenty of people who've experienced them including myself. The gist is the circumstances; whether or not a violation will ensue. I've busted a B on flight following with a student. I was purposely flying below their airspace but my student happened to pop...

    Re: Failed IR Checkride He never told me "your GPS failed", he just flicked it off, then back on without uttering a word. On debrief all he explained was "you can't deviate that much on your approach". I explained that he turned off my GPS on a GPS approach. I thought if he was testing me on...
