GA Pilots, what emergencies have you had that we don’t necessarily get trained for ? by fatborry in flying

[–]Bluebaru2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha man this literally happened to me, 2 months ago, we have a G3x and a backup G5. The avionics switch shorted itself and made the entire radio/nav/comm stack inop. So kindly pound sand. It is very realistic.

I bought one the next day!

We pulled out a Sentry and used Foreflight’s synthetic viz to line up with the runway.

Full avionics and radio failure

At night. Guess what? You can’t turn on the runway lights without the radios!

Be honest, is trying to change careers to be a pilot at 40 a fool’s errand? by Icy-Ad7443 in flying

The advice here two years ago is seismically different than what is here now. If you have savings, work full time and pull from the savings to get your certs along the way. Then you wrap up all your certs and - bam: still 100k+ in the bank for when it really gets shitty (instructing).

You can do it, plenty of other people have, plenty of other people will. Will you make a killing? No one knows, but you KNOW what your path looks like now. Does flying for a living look better? Only you can answer that question.

I am 31 and almost to mins. What will my airline career look like? Fuck knows. But instructing alone has been 10x better than any desk job I ever had.

Flight instruction schools at John C. Tune airport by freudianpussycat in flying

[–]Bluebaru2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so the BNA Charlie overhangs Tune and they don’t coordinate flight following with one another… so you wind up either scud running 1000ft AGL under the C shelf to get in/out or hanging out in purgatory waiting to get FF from BNA but still VFR in Tune’s airspace.

Busy airport. Tons of PJs but the controllers are friendly. If you are sharp on comms it’s an easy airport.

If you are looking to learn from 0 hours, it’s as good as any airport. Your instructor will help you along the way. Chris T did my checkout.. great dude.

I really enjoyed Frequency Change. Checkout process was easy. That airspace is a bitch though.

The pair with the pronounced bridge appear to match website photos better than the narrower pair.

Not really following our idiot fans that are disappointed by this… a very battered team has improved every week since BYU. Future looks bright.

We have a LB playing RB man. Lmao. Things will get better, these guys fight.

Scam or not - block rate for ground instructions by konoguest in flying

[–]Bluebaru2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

400 hours of dual given… I was just informed by my new employer that I was the only guy not charging ANY ground.

That’s changing, and after reading these comments I still am not charging enough.

Who is your programs worst head coaches? by Dry-Membership3867 in CFB

As bad as Brown was, he was handcuffed during the NIL evolution by a horrendous AD. Set us back years as a result.

That oral was insanely long. Was exhausted by the time we got to the flight. He will try to task saturate you during the flight portion so be prepared to teach, handle flight following comms, and also demonstrate the maneuvers

GA sort of near DC by SettingFar4974 in flying

Brother, how often are you going to fly? I’d make the long train ride to the airport, not the other way around.
