For a more hopeful aspect on feeling like you cheated death or imposter syndrome, I’d wager there are few pilots who don’t, in the back of their minds, entertain a little bit of that feeling every time they land. On every takeoff, there is a nagging thought about the inevitability of fuel...

Congrats. If it’s engineless and only 50% done, you’ve got plenty of time to find instructors. I learned the hard way that the easy part of building an airplane is making it look like an airplane. It’s the wiring that takes forever. It’s slow and tedious.

Just seemed like a lot of departures. Backed up on taxiway P and D across 05/23, maybe 100 planes. Imagine there are a lot of frustrated pilots in the Parker hold. A lot had to leave this afternoon before the show.

Just checked SnF on ForeFlight 17:45. Arrivals are stopped and there is a mass exodus of planes on both runways. Is there something going on?

The oral.

Usually there is a reason, often related to past high jinx of test takers themselves. Still, instead of getting your back up, call the testing center.

I just finished a BFR in a 150 because I wanted to simulate an LSA I am thinking about. I’m 5 lbs heavier than you & 3” shorter. The instructor was about 170. We limited the plane to 12 gals of fuel, about 2 hrs of flying time. No problem, other than folding in & out. American pilots &...

TNX. Learn something new every day.

Dump your hubby for the other instructor. There are too many other dynamics going on in a marriage for you two to be in a productive instructor/student relationship.

Ha! Wait until he gets to the E6B.

Try that video above. Kinda the best of both worlds.

Having said all that, I really like her approach:

Agreed. Concentrate on learning the Pray Wheel, sharpening pencils, and checking your math. If for no other reason, you’ll have a feel for back of the envelope estimates of times, distances, and fuel requirements and gauge whether you’ve made any input errors on the iPad. The wind side of...

Yes, for drugs possession it is the final conviction that counts. So you’re in the clear…..unless the incident had some bearing on you DL history. Once a car or boat where You are the operator is involved, it all changes. Every arrest for DUI—drugs or alcohol, regardless of the final...

he has a marking question on the sectional. The answer isn’t clear in looking at the chart compared to the legend. Coming back to flying I did several courses & most describe G as “everything else.” So his confusion is a reasonable question.

Nothing is worse than one partner laying down on his obligation because his financial situation has changed. I’d be leery of being in a partnership without a mandatory hourly fund escrowed toward engine replacement. Cap the contribution at a worst case replacement. the money could be in an...

Not only that, but the software has stopped threading properly. Leads to some bizarre discussions after about 75 messages.

Another late night with a bottle?

yep. well said. I'm sorry about your friend.

some. But I can cite a lot of examples of naivety in the contracting practice that tied DoD to "rent seekers" for decades. Especially in the earlier days of computers. Take the military health records system during the switch to electronic. The basic contract deal was "our data, your...
