    How old is to old

    To do this, you need to be in top physical condition, ditch bad habits like smoking and drinking, you lose a medical your screwed. I’m told 135 and 91 have no age limits as long as you’re proficient and can hold a medical.

    Is basic flight simulators fun or boring?

    They are fun toys, but useless for serious training. The G1000 has maybe 5% functionality, RNAV approaches don’t work most of the time, the left turning tendency is backwards, its a work in progress, but I don’t see it ever being a serious sim, the best training is in the class room and the real...

    ForeFlight for student pilots

    The EFB is the first thing the DPE fails before you get to the airplane, its wise to become proficient with paper until you get your license as paper isn’t going away and will always be on every FAA test.

    Diamond DA40 vs Cessna 172

    A G 1000 a quick death aircraft is twice as expensive as a steam gauge a Aircraft to rent. I still would be skeptical of the reliability of the G1000 avionics I would think when the pretty glass fails you’re really up a creek,But it is really pretty to look at though.

    Current Synthetic Vision - Just how useful is it up close?

    I’m saying learn old school skills as technology will at some point let you down. There was a case where a 757 crew was approaching a third world airport and the only approach arable was an NDB approach as the ILS was down, they had forgotten the basics and were scrambling to figure out the...

    Diamond DA40 vs Cessna 172

    I would fly a steam gauge Cessna 172 for the primary and instrument training, even commercial training as it will make you a better pilot, Glass makes pilots lazy having a computer think for you, what happens when all that crap fails and you don’t have navigation skills to fall back on...
