    Finally restarted my flying lessons.

    When you're working on aviation knowledge check out rate of descent when below best glide speed — it should be slower not faster. Of course, I know what you meant. You mean "steeper" rather than "faster". But it's a fine point you don't have much use for at your level. Are you dropping into a...

    Speeds when Transitioning from Approach to Final to Landing

    Depends. Each speed change is coupled with a flap change, so maybe the power stays the same and target A/S simply follows the flap setting. :dunno:

    Speeds when Transitioning from Approach to Final to Landing

    What's the definition of "maintain"? If circumstance puts you below glideslope, don't you want to return ASAP? Wouldn't your elevator be the quickest control for that? If "maintain" is meant as an initial target setting at GS interception, I'll buy that instead.

    Dangerous request from airport manager?

    Page 20, Part 1 of the AIM (1969), for one.

    Converging from opposite sides

    If it's to scale, that's a mighty big wind "T" too.

    Dangerous request from airport manager?

    Guys, it's a flashing amber light on the control tower at night or near the center of the segmented circle. If that's changed since I was a Cub Scout, I missed the memo.

    Students are "Learners" now...........

    I think "sudden desire... by force..." is what is exclusive.

    That doesn't look honest to me, it looks like putting lipstick on a pig.

    Students are "Learners" now...........

    Let me give it a go: "Woke" is the expression used to describe the sudden desire to recruit and indoctrinate, by force of law or regulation, those inherently opposed to one's political beliefs rather than engage in time honored methods of persuasion.

    Students are "Learners" now...........

    The "GUIDELINES For The Conduct of BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEWS" was a product of an ad hoc industry group in 1975. You name it, they were represented, including THE Ohio State University and the FAA. It's concerning to me how we have met the enemy, and he is us since then. A direct quote: "It is...

    I bet some didn't sleep very well after seeing their fuel temps decreasing over the north pole.

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    Yikes! :eek: Here on the south shore of Lake Erie we have midges. They don't bite. Poor, poor pitiful you!

    An elephant in the room: poor diet and lifestyle can lead to medical issues

    Peter Attia? The same guy who eats $40 worth of jerky sticks per day? Since he invests in that company, I'd say he's more a doctor of personal finance than longevity. https://www.businessinsider.com/dr-peter-attia-diet-longevity-jerky-sticks-processed-2023-10

    Cessna 140 Tips, Tricks, Habits

    I owned a '46 with 4-inch wheel extensions when I was a lot younger — over 50 years ago. Then, being somewhat fresh in my mind since I was still pretty much a kid from today's perspective, wheel landings reminded me of jumping on a pogo stick, and I was never very good on those things.

    It depends on what he means by "wingtip", sonny. ;)

    @AV8R_87 not a low wing, but the reference point in your window follows the same track: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/ground-reference-maneuvers.65933/post-1324787
