This is a really big help. Thank you Pat for taking the time to explain this in detail!!

Thank you everyone, both 172S planes at my flight school never had this problem which is why I was concerned. Not sure if this is mixing topics, but anyone have experience with an inaccurate VOR when slaved to a bendix/king OBS? I had to tune it 100 degrees from the true course for it to work...

I am purchasing a 172S whose fuel gauges drop to zero intermittently and independendantly of each other. Pre-buy inspector thinks it might be the sensors. Anyone have any experience with this issue?

Thank you for the additional suggestions. It has really helped to give me options. It also pushed me to self check specifically what my radio deficiencies are. First, I would like to defend myself a little. My current CFI is very old school, and a semi-retired CFI. The individual that said...

Wow!! So much support in such a short time which really brought a tear to my eye. A little background ... and I have myself to blame for my predicament! I have attended FAA wings seminars about Radio proficiency and toured my home tower twice. On one occasion three of us got to speak with...

I just turned 60 and have decided to postpone or possibly quit any further training. I have been through 4 flight instructors, logged 143 hours and spent close to $30k. My main issue during my 2 1/2 years has been radio work in the LA area. I have been told that it's the busiest in the country...

I am flying out of KWHP which is a small class D airport under the umbrella of Burbank CA. My first instructor and my present one fly out of KWHP. My other two CFI's flew out of Van Nuys CA, which is the busiest GA airport in the state. Typically my current CFI will have me fly out to FOX field...

Yes my CFI has given critiques, mainly airspeed and altitude on approach. I end up with strong updrafts or downdrafts or in some cases wind shear, and I have been flying in heavy turbulence with the airspeed indicator fluctuating 15 knots, which makes it hard to get an average airspeed. I...

i am on my 4th instructor and have had 4 solo endorsements. I have completed 115 hrs and 370 landings. The first instructor screamed at me when I made an incorrect radio call, so he referred me to a friend that was not dependable so I fired him. My third instructor was with our local community...
