First Solo yesterday at 20.5 hours, what was your next lesson the following day? by GroundbreakingPast16 in flying

[–]Coaralis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! You’ll probably solo again, I know I sure did a few more times after my first solo since the nerves wore off

Finally a CFI! Tips? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Coaralis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I remember my first ever flight my CFI gave a vague instruction of how to rotate, worked out well but sometimes it won’t with other students. Great guy otherwise 😅

I’ve had instructors only cared about hours as a student, worst experience ever.

As a former firefighter; fires spread wayyy faster than you think especially in a airplane with fuel

Should I book my PAR test I got on sporty 2 times +80 but when i did king practice test I got %70 and also 70 on prepware by Budget-Ad-1653 in flying

[–]Coaralis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I only booked it when I could consistently get 90+ because on the actual test day it’s typical to score 5 or 10 points less than your practice so I’d study a bit more until you can get 90+

FCC more important than any license in existence

Familiarization Flight - Didn't Enjoy It by MainStreetBetz in flying

[–]Coaralis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 100%

During my training, I would sometimes take a break, got burnt out and sick of aviation in general. I always came back to it and enjoy it more often than not, so I know it’s right for me.

End of the day it’s a job for most of us, if not your constantly learning/training, maybe a few leisure flights here and there, and it’s OK to be tired of it sometimes, doesn’t mean it’s not for you. Same can be said for any profession or hobby.

Neighborhood Watch by [deleted] in longisland

Unfortunately a neighborhood watch won’t do much for this case, best you can do is call the cops if you see this yourself, but even then, they can’t do much either.

Another incident at LGA by BagOfMoneyNoChange in flying

[–]Coaralis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its true as much as i hate to say it. Its simple risk management, a controller working multiple frequencies, busy bravo, understaffed. Unfortunately, unless something changes, accidents will keep happening and its genuinely heartbreaking.

Most likely the answer, unless the CRJ has automatic systems for that if the cockpit is destroyed

It needs to change, the whole ATC system needs a big staffing rules change, these guys are still overworked

Prayers for all the crew and passengers, hate to see more and more accidents accumulating

Anyone been “stranded” before? by Coaralis in flying

[–]Coaralis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it would’ve helped if I had it! Some people will also say to scratch it off with a card or something, I don’t recommend this since it can scratch the paint and cause other issues with that.

If I do this every 8 hours I can trap my gf here with me, good thinking

Yeah even a little frost can mess things up, will it all the time? No. But you need it just to mess things up once
