Mike Patey gets real.

As a low-time student, I spend a lot of time studying what to do- and not to do, during critical phases of flight. After reading of several recent suspected or confirmed engine-out mishaps after takeoff I'm curious as to opinions on whether most of you do a typical (not short field, no...

Like some, I've got a 50 hr day job- and a small "side" business as well. Small FBO I've been flying with (under 10 hrs so far), CFI doesn't work weekends and I get the impression from our conversations that he expects 2 days per week minimum and doesn't want to be bothered if I can't commit to...

Taking lessons in a PA-28-180. In the first pre-flight briefing, my CFI told me that I should rotate at 80 mph. When I questioned why- when Vr is 60 mph- he told me that the plane is "happier" rotating at 80, but no problem rotating at 60 if that's what I wanted to do. At 80, it took very light...

Fortunately, the pilot apparently walked away from this... No other details yet. This is the airport where I'm receiving instruction,got this from my CFI there. Missing nose landing gear...

New student... Any recommendations? Just basic stuff- typical small GA.

Purchasing my first aviation headset. On a budget (five bills or so), and would prefer noise-cancelling. I'm leaning towards a used Bose X which would be in that price range, but also looking at a Pilot Communications PA-1779T. I figure I can't go wrong with Bose, but can find little info on...

Greetings, all... "new guy" here- been sim flying with X-Plane for a couple of months to get a clue, ready to get real. I'm looking to take an online PPL course, and locate a CFI to get in a couple of flights per month as I slowly work towards a PPL. Seeking recommendations for both- I've seen...
