Flew out to Sedona and had a blast. Had to shoot an approach thanks to that layer on the way home. The car is the rental I got at the airport. 2007 Ford Focus I affectionately nicknamed 007

VNY is the most GA friendly option in my opinion, especially if you’re in a piston but would also recommend NOT staying at a hotel near the airport. SMO is there but there’s a landing fee that’s auto billed and the invoice is mailed to you. For whatever reason, the fee is not disclosed ahead of...

Used it for both FIA and FOI and with about a week of study time for each and scored in the 90s on both

I would recommend staying away from buying a vehicle that served as a rental at any point during its life if you can help it. I’ve worked at a rental car company before and have horror stories about how customers treated them and how the company maintained them.

As long as you hit 300nm total with one leg being at least 250nm straight line distance with landings at 3 different airports, you’re good.

The difference is maybe 2-3kts if that. Nothing that’s really THAT noticeable or worth leaving them on if you’re concerned about stuff getting jammed inside. I’d say take them off, it would make things easier.

Straight-ins aren’t the problem. The issues we’re having are people not flying safe. As a collective, we have to be better with aeronautical decision making. For example, not flying unstable approaches and making sure we’re lining up for the correct runways (KVGT mid-air). In the Watsonville...

That’s what sucks. We operate on the honor system. We get trained on the rules and regulations to get the ratings but once we’re up there on our own, it’s up to each pilot to self govern how they fly. Some make the choice the not follow recommended procedures and nothing really comes of it...

He actually said a little earlier on that he was descending from somewhere 10 miles out and was going to make the straight-in from there. This is terrible. Gotta feel for the guy in the 152. Doing pattern work and some clown decides to do a straight-in with several planes in the pattern. He...

VOR check is only required if you’re using that to fly a VOR approach or to navigate along an airway

It’s possible but there’s not much room between the step and the prop so that doesn’t even have to be the case. It’s only a couple feet, if that, between that step and the prop. I’ve spent time flying the DA40 and with passengers, I’m always having to explain the best technique for getting in...
