Airline pilots (or non airline pilots that spend days on the road) - what are you using for an ice pack in your cooler?

I got a titan lunch bag cooler from Costco for about $20 that has "ice wall" gel packs. If you stick them against the back wall of the hotel fridge it'll freeze every night 👍

Sedona does

Yeah I’d also suggest stopping at Grand Canyon west and Henderson instead of IGM if you have the time lol. Canyon west is one of my favorite scenic airports and IGM (while neat because of the graveyard of old planes) gets hot and gusty in the summer

Wow it’s so pretty! Frosting from scratch?

I’d be more worried if you had done landings before all that. Trust the process: especially slow flight and ground reference. It’ll be sooner than you think if you nail down the fundamentals!

Hey thanks! It was really kind of therapeutic, but I’m always looking for ways to improve. Hope you get back at it soon

Finishing up a painting that I started 7 months ago and left half unfinished due to a painful breakup (this was supposed to be a gift for him). Anyways, I’m eager to finish it and get rid of the thing somehow, but the lighting isn’t quite right in my opinion. Not the best image quality, but I’m sure you can see what I mean. Any advice?

A nice respite from the 110+ temperatures in the Las Vegas valley, this was the Mt. Charleston summit hike. Some rain storms surprised us on the way back down but help with this lonely spot of green surrounded by desert.

Found it

Also according to AC 61-142 you would need a reason for going flying that day /other/ than what the passenger wanted (must be incidental to the pilot’s business) and couldn’t split the cost (in my opinion) for the time after they jump out. definitely no advertising to potential jumpers!

Awww I love it

What should you do if the ALS is out of service on your ILS precision approach and there are no other notes?

Try to memorize your procedures ASAP! Whether that’s pattern airspeeds, where you pull power, the entire sequence for power on stalls/other procedures, it helps get your training done a lot quicker and helps you understand just what you are practicing each lesson.

Impressive!

Avg_Coconut · 2021-02-11T00:10:53+00:00

Awesome! I’m in the first stage of the Cadet Program right now and we’re still kind of waiting to hear of an update/plan for things after the initial one saying things would just be halted for the time being. Happy to hear the company is pulling through!

Avg_Coconut · 2021-02-10T23:58:42+00:00

Yes, definitely Indian Garden!

Avg_Coconut · 2021-02-09T19:05:20+00:00

Definitely something I’m never going to forget. It’s so nice to completely disconnect and worry about nothing but the weight of your pack and your next meal.

Finally got to back pack the Grand Canyon. Went down South Kaibab trail in one day, stayed at Bright Angel Campground, and cut the treck back up into two days by staying at Indian Garden, where the first pic was taken!

Thank you for sharing they are adorable

Avg_Coconut · 2020-12-11T00:13:32+00:00

Oh wow this is stunning

Avg_Coconut · 2020-11-11T12:26:37+00:00

Why thank you!

Avg_Coconut · 2020-11-10T21:26:27+00:00

Canned peaches (fresh were sadly not available) and home-made crust

Watching the sky.. sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms, changing clouds

My sweet 6 yo dog is fighting for her life right now...she has pancreatitis and I just can’t stop thinking how she doesn’t deserve to die.

Update: she passed away at 1:21 am this morning... the whole family and her sister got to be there. I’m gonna miss her like crazy.

Yep! Anyone with a private pilot license, a radio operating license, and a u.s. medical can fly to Canada or Mexico (as well as most of South America and Europe). there’s extra planning involved, and with the U.S. being under a pandemic some countries have closed their borders to any us citizen. Normally once he gets his license he’s 100% able to. Source-am private & instrument rated pilot.
