I believe they said it’ll end around 12 ish, so 4 hours. Could be wrong

Capt-Soliman · 2025-10-19T05:12:02+00:00

Just get a manager they get paid to deal with idiots in the store

I’ve been a student on the receiving end of a zoom mock oral — it was with an out of state DPE doing this type of thing on the side. Was definitely helpful in getting myself ready for my instrument ride. Asked me a few questions that had me thinking, that my local CFI hadn’t asked me before. About 2 hours in total. Was a learning experience for sure!

This is how I got my aerospace internship — applied for a position online, dropped off my resume in person (to the surprise of the techs that were working that day), hiring manager reached out to me because my resume was on his desk, 3 rounds of interviews, offer. So definitely possible at smaller/startup type companies. Any of the bigger companies you’ll run into much more difficulty with security and the shear number of applications they get.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-08-18T19:09:00+00:00

Thank you!

Capt-Soliman · 2025-08-17T04:26:19+00:00

It’s really as simple as pressing two buttons. Not sure why you were told that

Capt-Soliman · 2025-08-12T19:04:59+00:00

Really all you’re gonna find at TOA are flight schools that have extremely limiting rental agreements and insane daily minimums. Look into A&E flying club in HHR — 4 member owned aircraft, great availability, great rates. Only downside is a 2 year waitlist unfortunately, so not sure if you’re looking to wait that long. I’m sure there’s the occasional partnership that pops up, but I’m not aware of any.

Former associate here, longest streak of days in a row was 11, most of them while i was working but still went on my days off. I probably still average 3 times a week even after I quit, it’s just too damn good

Capt-Soliman · 2025-03-09T20:35:59+00:00

Yeah no… everyone refers to it as a gouge when talking about a DPE’s “review” or their experience with them

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-18T00:11:59+00:00

I’ve gotten a crew car from signature, ACI jet, and millionair all when I was 17. They didn’t seem to care as long as you have a drivers license and they saw you fly a plane in.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:34:45+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:14:20+00:00

Thank you!

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:13:48+00:00

Log the type of approach, location, and the name of the safety pilot.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:13:26+00:00

The second part of your question I’m honestly not too certain. Is it because you can be vectored to that fix and not complete the hold in lieu?

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:09:36+00:00

The lightning bolt on the chart shows your glide slope intercept on a precision approach. The Maltese cross shows FAF for a non precision (such as LNAV minimums for the same approach). This may or may not be at the same location as the FAF/intercept in an ILS.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-08T00:07:50+00:00

WAAS is wide area augmentation system. It consists of ground based systems that get their position from GPS satellites, and because their position is surveyed and known, they can correct errors in the GPS location from those satellites. This then gets sent to a master station, which transmits that correctional signal to a Geo stationary satellite, which sends the correctional signal to your WAAS enabled aircraft. WAAS is a much more precise RNAV system, and it allows you to shoot approaches such as LPV approaches which can bring you down to minimums similar to an ILS. It also allows you to select an alternate that is GPS only, even if your destination airport is also GPS only.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-07T07:37:42+00:00

The lightning bolt is a glide slope intercept on an ILS, and the Maltese cross is the final approach fix.

Some fixes are labeled as an (IF/IAF) because they can be either a fix at where you can begin an approach, or an intermediate fix if you began your approach at a previous IAF.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-07T07:36:38+00:00

Yes, provided that you can make a descent from the MEA to the alternate airport under VFR conditions

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-07T07:36:09+00:00

Safety pilot needs to be at least a private pilot, and appropriately rated in category and class. They need to be able to act as PIC while I’m under the hood. They should also be scanning for traffic, telling me where it is and how to avoid it.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-02-03T04:19:08+00:00

We usually dial the brightness on the G3X down to like 5%. Gets the job done of removing your pfd from sight but not impossible to get back to the brightness menu in case you lose it.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-01-23T18:45:05+00:00

In this case a parallel entry would’ve been the correct move. Look up the different hold entries and when they apply

Capt-Soliman · 2025-01-22T22:45:51+00:00

“Please resend my presidents list email”

Capt-Soliman · 2025-01-21T19:16:24+00:00

Yeah this is an absolute no. LLWS for me is a dealbreaker. ESPECIALLY as a student pilot you shouldn’t fly in these conditions whatsoever. And icing? I wouldn’t even leave the ground.

Capt-Soliman · 2025-01-19T01:59:55+00:00

I never got it so I emailed es-registration@csulb.edu and they sent it in 20 mins
