What I usually do is I stay at pattern altitude, extend my downing ever so slightly, as soon as I turn final, I lower my final notch of flaps, take out the power, and slip to the runway.

I fly a Cessna 152

It’s for the checkride.

How would you correct for the misinformation of the ASI?

So further back?

Off checklist, recommended approach speed.

Fair point

True, I’ll give that a shot.

I try to aim at my approach speed and usually close the throttle on final. I usually aim for roughly the threshold of the runway.

I’ve been working on forward slip landings for a little bit and can’t seem to get the plane to consistently/reliably land within 400 feet past aiming point (beginning of first stripe). Most of the time, I would end up floating past my point past 400 feet. I know practice makes perfect and all...

Would be nice if there could be a similar priced four seater that when there is nobody in the back, have the seats folded/taken out and used as extended baggage space.

lol I guess something like that. Just put seats in the baggage area and split the connection to the headsets, put some windows, O-320, and problem solved!

It's just that awkward situation where you usually have a two seater but there might be that one day where an extra two people come along. I mean sure you could rent, but why when you already have a plane?

Maybe not even an lsa. Just any plane that is sold in that price range.

How hard would it be to convert a two seater lsa to a four seater, out of curiosity? Becuase we shouldn't pay an extra $30000 to get two extra seats.

Get VATSIM. It's a free add-on that turns your flight simulator into a multiplayer server(FSX, X-plane, P3D) where everything is done as it is in real life. There are controllers, other air traffic, and everything. Here you can practice talking to an ATC.

Roughly 10 hours into my PPL Training but money is starting to become an issue.

Is there a handheld radio that can receive and transmit on both AM and FM frequencies? Basically is there a handheld that can be used as both an aviation and ham radio? It's just that I find it rather inconvenient to need multiple radios for multiple purposes. Thanks!

Is there like a seal for aviation headsets that are built for glasses?

Honestly this is more for just fulfilling a passion, not making money.
