;)Thanks for all your input. I think at this point we gave this Instructor a public lashing. I think a lot of you would be surprised that he is also a check ride examiner. So when Greg talked with this guy at FSDO he was very interested in talking to him about this practice. I am sure now he got...

That was what I was going on, was his word and I continued my landing course. In the Gyro I have many options and can continue till I felt I was compromised in my landing which is pretty close because I can land with in 50 feet. But if I was in the Cherokee I would have decided long before...

That is funny and I would love to do that but again it would be a hazard. I understand now that stop and goes are done but again just to clean up the plane and go on your way, it should only take a few seconds. This Instructor was parked there taking his sweet time probably talking to his...

It is a non-towed airport in a class E airspace with a runway 4,300 feet.

Has anyone heard of the practice of Stop and Goes? I was flying in the pattern in my Gyro along side a Instructor and his student in a Gobosh and he was doing what he said on the radio " Stop and goes" He would land and stop for a prolonged period of time like 2-3 minutes then set up for what...

Do Pilots experience more earing problems then most people? I ask this because I lost the hearing in one ear around a year ago. My Doctor thought at first it was Meniers but then ruled it out. He can only say now it is unexplained nerve damage due to maybe a virus I may of got or of some...

Thanks for all the great advice. I knew this was going to be a good forum to join. I found it looking for information on crosswind landings. There was a great thread started on should you crab or side slip for a crosswind landing? http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24922 I...

I am new to this forum and a fairly new pilot with 220 hours in a Cessna 150. I just purchased a Cherokee 140 with 160HP and have around 20 hours in it and so far I love it! I know there is no substitute for training with a CFI but I do have a few questions about my new Cherokee vs the Cessna...
