    Flying a Student Pilot’s Airplane

    Hi. Before you fly that Sport cruiser, by yourself / with the student, unless you have some time in them, I strongly suggest that you first fly with an Instructor that knows those planes.

    Sportys Rant - incomplete process and tests including topics not seen

    Hi. As others have mentioned, start with the FAA books. There will be items that are not clearly understood, especially the first time around, For those items as your CFI, talk to other pilots, visit boards like this, this is one of the best for Real World pilots, view videos from reputable...

    Dealing with a crisis(?) of confidence

    Hi Matt. I took the time to read some more from your message and a couple more things you may want to think about, use. I think that having some additional information available, on the ground before you take off may help. There are many apps, some are free like Avare for the Android, that you...

    Dealing with a crisis(?) of confidence

    Hi Matt and everyone. It's a PHASE, most / all new pilots go through that. The only way to overcome it is to keep Flying and keep learning. Assuming the one Theory of evolution is correct and we evolved from birds, it must have been a loooong time ago since most humans are uncomfortable in the...

    Hi everyone. Did anyone hear about the new scam where they call and tell you that your service will get a cost increase, unless you sign up for a new discounted Service? What they want is to pay them up front for a year of service and pay them with Target Credit card and or Gift cards?

    It’s just a ****ing game

    Hi everyone. Someone help me out. I fail to see the enamored attitude with the least productive members of our society, Ball players, Singers, Actors, celebrities.... Yes, I know we live in a society of overabundance but this is plain stupid? Most of them are worthless when it comes to any...

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    Hi everyone. OK, since you got me started. A few more reasons why these AKA acft. are not real airplanes. In most you are flying with the engines in your lap. Someone mentioned 2000 to 5800 RPM, actually is more like 1400-5800, I would like to see you fly it at 2000RPM. Th Prop is Not the main...

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    Hi. Really? Just think about it, in simple terms. What RPM do they run at? What conclusion can you come at from just that simple fact? It's not brain surgery.

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    Hi. The Only reason I would suggest to anyone to get an S/LSA is if you cannot get a medical / 3rd class. Given your background, acft you are used to, it will take a long time to get adjusted to an LSA. Must have a serious motivation factor. The lighter part is a small issue, you can pick your...

    Do you regret giving up flying?

    Hi. It does not have to be a total disconnect. Try some PC Flight simulators, at this stage I would only use XPlane11, stay away from XPlane 12 it has too many problems, and or MSFS 2020. You will need a decent CPU(i9 @ 4.3+) and Video board (RTX 3070+) to have a good experience. With some of...

    Richard McSpadden Crash

    Hi. You are flying in different circles that I do. Clairvoyance is not my forte. I suggest that we all wait for the next data to come out before we jump to conclusions as to what / who did what and why. Based on my experience of close to 50 years in aviation and flying with some of the buddies...
