    Am i too carefull?

    If you are not comfortable with it, don't do it. If you feel you should be comfortable doing it, seek out further training to build your skillset higher and boost your confidence. NEVER let anyone convince you to do something you do not feel is safe to do so.

    What is it called when your auto transmission shifts down

    Having your car in a lower gear puts additional strain on all the driveline of the car, not just the transmission. Entering a hill, unless excessively steep, will require very little brake effort to keep a reasonable speed. Putting the vehicle into a lower gear puts additional load on the...

    If this became available, would you?

    Its an interesting idea but is and will always remain as such. Far to many things that are against it to make it work.

    “Suspected” Afib leads to Waste of $$$$ and Spec. Issuance

    You did the right thing as it could have been serious. However your doctor should have addressed it at the time and done any testing at that time. I would have a word with your doctor as things like this, if left open to interpretation, can cause some serious issues for a pilot. Not to mention...

    Grim start to 2021 in my area.

    From some one up north (near Vancouver, Canada) I can say that this has become normal place. It is not expressed so much in our news networks here but suicide has most certainly increased. It is a very sad state of things here. So many jobs lost, homes and ways of life due to the lock downs and...
