Suggestion for next year, Hal: Search/sort by presenters' names. There are lot of folks that I'd like to see, but have no idea what the title of their forums might be.
Besides, it might save...
Yes. Flying assigned headings in IFR. Admittedly, it's usually off of the DG or HSI, but those always referenced to the compass.
Bill - First, I'm glad we agree that having a student that is good is far more important than the number of hours at which they solo.
Now, with that in mind...
I could train someone to go up...
Bill - take a look at 61.87. It's a checklist of everything a student pilot should know or perform to proficiency prior to solo. Quite honestly, to accomplish all of that, and not just be able to go...
Tarfu - you're going to do great, so I don't need to wish you luck. Have fun and keep us posted.
Bill - I know, probably better than most, about CFI's that waste student's time and money. That's why I said "a good instructor." The CFI's I train get an earful about how valuable their students'...
Bill - a lot of good advice there, and,frankly, pretty much what I said (only I didn't use a scale - just "fly better than PTS", because the PTS is a bare minimum).
I do take exception to the "the...
Find yourself an instructor that will give you a tough, thorough flight review. Make sure they hold you to better than PTS standards. And go through the ENTIRE PTS. Ground reference maneuvers...
I disagree with you that it doesn't have much to do with learning to fly. I've often told my students that, when they don't get a task exactly right on the day of the lesson, that they will do...
This is what I tell my students, from beginner through multi-engine instructor: it is not a propellor - it is an xx HP Cuisenart (xx depending on the engine, of course). Do not reach through the...
Actually, in today's litigious environment, I can't blame them.
Heard around the exhibition hangars on Saturday about 15:00:
"I'm glad I came; I can't wait to go home; I can't wait for next year! And, will I see you at Sun-'n-Fun?"
As someone that hasn't flown into Oshkosh the past couple of years (yuck, but my schedule has gotten so tight I can't afford a potential WX delay in or out), I became curious: does EAA keep track of...
As chairman of an organization that has a booth and an event at the show, some of us rent a house on the west side of town and "commute" to the grounds. In years past, I have been nearly reduced to...
Never had a problem with St. Louis or Omaha (or Knoxville, that one time the transponder blew its brains out), so FWIW.
The hour, BTW, is what the reg states - being who I am, I have to quote...
Well, you can fly within B or C if you have an aircraft that is not equipped if you make the request at least one hour prior to the flight. See 91.215(d)(3).
Actually, the practical isn't that daunting (until you get to the initial CFI ride - that's a workout). I tell my students that the "oral" or knowledge portion of the test is merely a chance to show...
We've all gotten lost. Google my name at AOPA and you'll find an article in Flight Training where I described Wisconsin Dairy country as looking like, well, Wisconsin Dairy Country.
But the most...
DC3 Type rating.
Hal, feel free to tell Mr. Pelton I feel the same way. I think it'd be a great theme for 2014.
We at NAFI just arranged with a company in Milwaukee to do our "stickers" as those clingy things that go on the inside of windows without using adhesive. They look really nice.
Zack, I can let...
Hal, I think this is a wonderful idea.
You can find me floating around at 1H0/KSET/KSUS. When I'm at 1H0, you'll probably see me over by John's Stearman (near the runway, by the trailer).
Ah, thanks. We're grandfathered under the original AT&T unlimited plan, so I use Skype only for video conferences on my PC or as a fallback on the cell phone, so I never bothered to look.
One neat...
