    Pet Peeves

    The word 'peruse.' The popular definition is the exact opposite of the actual definition. Just don't use it at all! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    When was your first scare?

    During my ppl training while doing pattern work in a c-150. During a go-around I didn't push hard enough and nearly had a departure stall. Airspeed got really low. Luckily I felt the stall coming and got the nose down. Lesson learned. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    On the step...

    Nice expirement! Since all 3 cases have a climb at steady 500 fpm to start, I suggest starting the stopwatch while in the climb about 100 feet before the target altitude, to remove some variability. More data! More flying!

    Am I allowed to do a touch n' go at an airport then depart?

    If you are on any sort of schedule, DO NOT start a conversation with any other pilots. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Are Pipers dogs?

    This is Apollo. Looks like a Piper, but he prefers Cessnas.

    I'm a certified expert. The community is one of the best, there's most likely a local user's group you can meet up with. What do you want to do with it? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    What do you tell a nervous passenger...

    Of course the wing won't fall off, that's what the duct tape is for! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    How to (Safely) Decrease Preflight Time?

    Sounds reasonable to me. So how do you preflight differently for cross country? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Cancel Flight Following?

    Threads like these arguing over trivial details are why new pilots are intimidated by the radio. Like Bob said, you can say whatever words it takes to get your point across. Sure there are times when you must be precise in your comms, but requesting flight following isn't one of them. Sent...
