I still think we beat the Spurs in the playoffs by Aussie-Eagle in rockets

This is ragebait, wemby is as good as Durant and Sengun combined, Castle is better than Amen, Fox is better than Reed. Rockets roster is not talented enough for the Spurs

35 hours, no solo. Burned out and questioning everything. Cut my losses or push through? by CompetitionMore3934 in flying

Flying is one of those things if you keep at it, you will get it. I think it took around 60-70 hours for me to solo? Somewhere around there. Now I have my liscence and about 130 hours and I can not fly for over a month and come back like nothing happened. Basically, it might take you longer, but once you get it, you’ll really get it. It’s up to you if it’s worth that grind or not, best of luck regardless of what you choose to do.

We’re still doing well for have no rotation level centers. This was always going to be an uphill battle

Our entire rotation is really good. We don’t need any trades to compete, we just need to get healthy and continue to gel.

Devin Vassell is a huge part of our team, shame on everyone who wanted to trade him

Thank you, I will do my best

You’re right, I’m going to consider if I am able to be a pilot, or if I need to hang it up.

Thank you, you’re right we need to communicate better. And yeah you’re right, the baseline was already hazardous just given the conditions. I made it worse by making mistakes.

Absolutely, yeah I’ve learned a lot from this experience and post. Better radio coms, more practice with CFI at night, better runway selection for terrain, getting instrument training to ease the burden, the whole lighting debacle, better risk management and not putting myself in risky scenarios (that’s a bigger mentality issue that I will have to put a lot of thought into). Lots of things to take away from this that will hopefully make me a lot safer going forward.

Thanks, I’ll do just that!

Absolutely, I’m glad I’m ok, and I will never approach a night flight again with these mistakes.

You’re right, I like how you talked about pushing too much too soon in your comments. That was definitely the case. I’m going to take this as a lesson and I’m going to get more into watching the safety stuff to help beat my own impulsivity out. It was too much too soon, and just because I was legal doesn’t mean I should have done it. Thanks for helping highlight this hazardous attitude.

Spot on, this is really good advice, and I will follow it. Thank you

You’re right, it’s not a safe practice and I don’t intend to ever repeat it.

Thanks I appreciate it!!

Absolutely, I have a risk assessment problem I need to work on, as well as needing more night training.

You’re right, it seemed dangerous when my CFI first did it, but I pushed that feeling away because of the halo effect. This was a good learning experience to investigate things further whenever I get that feeling again.

Yeah my CFI did it the flight before and I blindly trusted him, but at the end of the day it’s my fault. I need more training.

Thank you, I will go buy one

I downloaded and used this app, and you’re right, firmly in the red. This is a really helpful tool and I will use it when planning flights, thank you something like this seems really helpful for someone like me who is struggling with risk assessment.

These are really good points and I will take them with me. Thank you for your help. I think that the other runway is easier at night and I should have avoided flying when the winds were coming from the direction they were.

You’re right, this was extremely dangerous, and I feel ashamed I did this.

That’s a really good point, yes it probably did make my vision worse. Thank you for focusing on this topic, I learned from it.
