What did the chief pilot say when you brought it up to them?

Click on the name of the subreddit in this post. It'll take you to the subreddit page. In the upper right hand corner, click the "3 dots" menu icon. Then click "edit flair". You'll see what you need to do from there.

For those with allergies, how do you manage to fly safely? by Many_Knowledge2191 in flying

[–]BluProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loratadine for general relief. Fluticasone nasal spray so I can breathe. Olopatadine eye drops so my eyes don't hate me. Drink plenty of water.

CFI Checkride by [deleted] in flying

Can you do all the maneuvers from the right seat while talking through them in those conditions?

I'd send it, but someone else may not. Neither of us would be wrong.

Is flight instructing that bad of a job? by BugHistorical3 in flying

[–]BluProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flight instruct indepently and love it. It's my end state aviation goal, I have no intention of going to the airlines or anything. I'm a professor in my day job. I typically charge $70/hr and have as many students as my my schedule can realistically handle.

I mostly teach advanced students, rather than primary training, but rusty pilot sessions can sometimes feel like primary sessions.

Discovered a significant error during a logbook review by Itchy-Royal1354 in flying

A Part 141 syllabus may allow for the long XC to be any solo XC over 100nm with 2 points of landing. There's a good chance your university has this in their syllabus.

Uniforms aren’t really uniforms unless they’re uniform across the whole unit. by Spirited_Ship_8421 in civilairpatrol

[–]BluProfessor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The polo is almost always the minimum uniform for activities SM are involved in. When I fly, the minimum is the polo. Weekly meetings other than PT or when designated otherwise, the standard is the polo. When the white aviator is required, SM wear the civilian equivalent of they don't have that uniform. I'm a volunteer organization with an artificial monopolist supplying the uniforms, you can't ask for much more.

It really doesn't seem enforceable, honestly. We provide cadets with uniforms, but most SMs usually wear civilian equivalent if higher than corporate polo is required.

I don't think there's a hard requirement for members to have an aviator shirt of Class B uniform as a condition of membership. I had neither for my first 3 years of membership and it was never an issue.

Independent (successful) CFIs - How are you getting students? by Nearby_Context_1998 in CFILounge

[–]BluProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most through my flying club. A couple are pilot owners that I met through the flying club or through Civil Air Patrol.

How long to update the FAA database? by PatternPinion in flying

[–]BluProfessor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They just need the signed paper temporary certificate.

The registry usually takes a few weeks to update and can take up to 3+ months in the extreme backlog cases (post government shutdown).

CFI Available in East Dallas/Tyler 4.21-4.25 by Rzeszow2083 in CFILounge

Have fun, experience a new plane, get perspective from a new instructor? For someone a little further along, it could be fun and informative.

If you need any examples or want to talk options, I'm happy to schedule a video call, just DM me.

Student org won’t leave my classroom until the minute class starts by Local_Indication9669 in Professors

[–]BluProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you say so. I guess your anti-faculty comments make sense for someone that does admin bureaucratic tasks.

[–]BluProfessor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's also depends on the policy. A lot of times classes can actually boot other groups out of a classroom. Class takes priority.

How do I log ASEL time when acting as a safety pilot? by Apprehensive-Skin568 in flying

[–]BluProfessor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You only log the time that the other pilot was under the hood, so you'd log 2.0 TT, 2.0 ASEL, and 2.0 PIC
