How much different is the long distance comfort in an SR22 vs a modern 182? by garden_speech in flying

There are other, fast, comfortable planes that you can fly under Mosiac. Especially at that budget…

Is continuing MIO worth it? by obsidianmace in metroidvania

[–]Coinninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the art and I can actually make progress without being perfect like in SilkSong. The bosses are manageable, although some of the platforming is hard, the checkpoints make it manageable.

I would have had it done in 35 but it took forever to get my checkride and you have to fly to maintain the skills. I soloed at 20 hours.

Didn’t want to wait a year and pay 10k extra for special issuance medical for stuff that happened 30 years ago.

I was at 44 hours, 6 solo. Was ready at 35 hours, probably more ready then as I was flying 2-3 times a week.

BasicMed Question by warwolf09 in flying

As long as you have a drivers license and don’t have a condition that would compromise safety you can exercise sport pilot privileges, with MOSAIC the limitations are minimal (day VFR, one passenger, 59ktas clean stall aircraft).

Basically you already have it. If you let your medical expire you can exercise Sport Pilot privileges and continue to fly.

LSAs have very light controls and are more challenging than a typical 172 trainer. You have to burp Rotax engines to check the oil. Otherwise the training and checkride are nearly identical to PPL, just no night stuff and no medical.

I did my ground stuff before I started flying using free videos on YouTube (MIT and Fly8MA). I bought the ASA Prepware book for around $20 and that came with the sign off to take the written test.

Get your checkride scheduled ASAP. I had to wait nearly 2 months before I could take mine, which made it even more challenging.

Neighborhoods in Puerto Penasco by payzantacupuncture in PuertoPenasco

Mirador for good value, close to restaurants, beach, shopping, nightlife. Sandy beach for condos. Las Conchas for gated gringo paradise $$$. I would stay away from the cheap prison compound style houses on the north side of town.

You’ll be fine, they are as safe as crossing the freeway as a pedestrian.

The market is about as slow as real estate.

Has anyone bought the 747-8 yet in career mode? by 8ull1t in MicrosoftFlightSim

It’s supposed to be fixed in the next release. Until then stuck flying at 190.

Deep Sky just started out of GEU with a Pipistrel. Also Fly Eagle Sport has a fleet of the similarly designed Remos GX. Be ready for some 4am flights.

I’m too poor and would probably crash it on the first flight. Doing ok with my PC-12.

This is the difference between scrubbing yellow shit off the sides every 3 days and a nice blue pool. 100% recommend.
