    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Looks like I will have to be switching flight schools prior to completion of my check ride. I am leaving in less than a month, and have not been endorsed for a checkride yet. The weather here has been beyond terrible. Luckily, I have a lot of time in January off.. I will use that time to get...

    Alternative EFBs: FlyQ vs WingX vs FltPlanGo

    This thread has convinced me to continue using fltplngo instead of shelling out money for Foreflight.. just can’t justify the huge price tag of Foreflight. Love FltPlan.com too.. got my weight and balance figured out perfectly. Just wish the nav logs it produces were a little more visually...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I feel ya. Most of my steep turns are terrible. Pretty cool instrument training though- I don't think we messed with the VOR too much on mine.

    (NA) silly poll du jour: Urinal trough?

    Call me crazy but I love urinal troughs. I'd rather pee outside whenever possible though.

    Pros and Cons of living full-time in a Motorhome?

    I just read through this entire thread.. I think I am more confused than when I started. My Dad was looking to go RVing when he retired though.

    New Cirrus watch

    Finally, a Cirrus product I can afford! I'm assuming that Breitling will offer a 10 year financing option though..

    Unusual Attitudes by Martha Lunken

    You're right Mark- my apologies. Yes- Les Abend. I always forget about his columns to be honest with you. They are such a waste of potential. I mean, here is a guy who is currently senior in the industry flying the line. So many great discussions about the industry he could talk about. Even just...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I like you, Nate. That's exactly my plan. This DPE believes in a longer oral, but my instructor said a student nearly spun the aircraft during a stall and still didn't fail the practical. I'm pretty confident in my oral (haha) so I'm not as worried about that portion.

    Unusual Attitudes by Martha Lunken

    Yeah. Pretty surprising that they immediately took her DPE from her- but I guess crashing on the ground is a serious infraction. I personally think she has felt a little aimless with her writing since that incident- but she is still a far better read than guys like Peter Garrison in Flying...

    Ground control called me out today

    That's a great perspective, Velocity. Where I am based at KART, there is a huge amount of MTR's, MOAs and restricted areas. I've never flown through them, but I'd be nervous to without talking to somebody- even just the folks over at KGTB.

    Ground control called me out today

    Check out this article from Martha King about military airspace- I think it is a pretty good read: http://johnandmartha.kingschools.com/2016/05/04/a-sporting-chance/

    Why does everyone tell my wife about crashes?

    Same thing happens with my wife too. I always tell her that the NTSB report tends to reveal facts about the accident that family members/the media likely did not know about. This does little to assuage her, though. Constantly getting hounded about life insurance too.
