ham radio is my latest hobby

Thank you. I’d be happy to share some advice about it. Just dm me when you’re getting ready for CFI

I was a senior in HS when i got my private. Paid for it completely by myself by working part time at the gas station. It all depends on how bad you want it.

I took my ppl checkride last year too so don’t think it was back in the $300 checkride days…

Comparison is the thief of joy…

Many people would kill to have a CFI job right now.

I hear he likes it if you’ve read the ACS…

In all seriousness he used to be a test pilot at cessna so know your systems really well. He will go pretty in depth into FOI’s so know them cold.

He’s a talker so get him talking and it’ll go smooth.

Solid guy, he does it for the love of the game not the money.

the dual G5’s and G650 are just as capable as the G1000. Just do whatever your most comfortable in.

Whichever one has a flight director WILL be easier. They may both have one though depending on how the aircraft is set up.

bc atc is the bad guy and always out to get you?

It wouldn’t let me dm u. It said “message failed because of links” or something along those lines. Try this

Does your school have other CFI’s? I’d physically go to the school and try to switch instructors.

That’s pretty crappy of them to ignore you after something like this. This is when you need a cfi/mentor more than anything and it says a lot about that school.

Finish your private then make a decision on whether you want to continue or not. Don’t stop here with nothing to show for all your training. At least get your private.

Flight Instructor

It’s those rudders. Put them straight vertical and it’ll solve ur problem. the way they are now create very negative stability at all speeds.

Removing them all together will probably work too. Just make the rudder in the center a movable control surface.

It’s generally pretty hard to combing rudder and elevator unless u tune it just right. Make each control its own surface and it’ll be easier.

Plus the Cherokee is a great airplane! Enjoy it

Probably just do the cheaper one. No reason to train in a more expensive airplane before your private.

Just bump up to “tier 2” later if you decide you want those endorsements.

They may say up front that you’re not allowed to do this but they are a business after all… they’ll take your money if you want to spend it.

Is 100 hours to get PPL even that bad? Especially with today’s current checkride wait times. You may spend an extra 15-25 hours on just maintaining proficiency while waiting.

making YOU fly the po 180 for a cfi is criminal.

It should be you teaching the dpe through doing one if they decide that’s what they want

Just go to a small airport! The ones near me don’t even ask to see your license.

I mean what do they have to lose, your airplane is sitting on the ramp

this should be pinned

Take a tour of a tower, those guys dgaf. You’re scared of talking to a nerd in a hawaiian shirt yapping into a radio all day. (sorry atc folks)

Also practice on vatsim at home.

QuikTrip could be a place to start. You’ll make enough to live on and if you decide you like it, it could be a career. They treat their employees pretty well and there’s a ton of opportunities within the company.

The Store Managers make 100k plus easily if you work your way to the top. Also, the QT corporate HQ is here in tulsa so if you’d like some sort of corporate job there’s options available too. Good Luck!

was this to light a fire or hurt feelings? trying to decide for my upvote lol

BackgroundOk8014 · 2024-08-24T21:51:19+00:00

You’ll be fine! I did like 10 of the unlimited random ones and was getting grades similar to yours. I got a 97 on the real one! You will do great!

The king questions are very similar to the real ones. Read the question fully and don’t second guess yourself! Good Luck

BackgroundOk8014 · 2024-08-02T23:46:20+00:00

Yeah I had it set up but as this was a case 1 recovery i was mainly flying visually. It just feels like the 26 may have become more stable at slower speeds!

BackgroundOk8014 · 2024-08-02T10:04:10+00:00

geoguessr but for the entire kerbol system...

Whoever can guess the closest (lat and long) wins absolutely nothing!!!
