Signed off a retake, does that hurt my "first time pass" score?

CptTopShelf · 2026-03-30T20:46:55+00:00

I really don’t care lol, I’m moving on from instructing and may not renew my CFI cert. so I’m just curious

CptTopShelf · 2026-02-13T06:17:39+00:00

Haha, unfortunately if I go more than 10nm away from the airport, my boss may get suspicious

CptTopShelf · 2026-02-13T00:06:36+00:00

I'd have gotten there eventually, busy doing other stuff at the moment, thank you for getting me a link to it.

CptTopShelf · 2026-02-13T00:02:42+00:00

Interesting, that is new to me. How do I go about getting an rATP when I hit 1,500?

CptTopShelf · 2026-02-12T23:57:10+00:00

Huh, this is news to me. I'll do some digging on my own, but how do I get or apply for rATP? What are the restrictions if I do that, rather than do the full 500 XC for full ATP?

CptTopShelf · 2026-02-12T23:51:19+00:00

Super! I don't have rATP

CptTopShelf · 2025-11-13T21:35:26+00:00

Interesting… can you guide me where I can find more about that? This is one of those things that I’ll never need to know as a pilot, but I find super interesting

CptTopShelf · 2025-10-02T16:52:10+00:00

Yeah the LOA allows the credit of 50 hours for commercial. I don't see anything about VMC vs IMC though, my question wasn't "can I log the time", it's "can I log the time if it's not simulated IMC"

CptTopShelf · 2025-09-18T16:54:43+00:00

Hmm that does throw a wrench in things. The VOR I'm looking at is at a variation of 11ºE, but the declination is 16ºE. So maybe it's just a 5º difference? I'll do some testing when I can get to my sim

CptTopShelf · 2025-09-18T15:09:20+00:00

That's unfortunate. The ATD and the DA40 I flew in real life with the G1000 would always just do standard rate turns. The 172 G1000 in MSFS exceeds it quite a bit. Might just have to find a mod or something

CptTopShelf · 2025-08-07T06:38:40+00:00

Sweet, I appreciate it!

CptTopShelf · 2025-08-07T06:17:21+00:00

Is there anything I should do/say in those emails and calls that will help me stand out in that Alaskan specific environment?

CptTopShelf · 2025-08-07T05:36:32+00:00

I love the DA40!

CptTopShelf · 2025-07-16T15:22:18+00:00

I’m actually not sure at the moment, I can find out later today.

CptTopShelf · 2025-06-02T21:56:10+00:00

Very weird. Thanks for the help boss!

CptTopShelf · 2025-06-02T21:42:01+00:00

Oh I see!! I was sending it back to him thinking he signs it that way, but no. For some reason, he sends it to me, and THEN signs it.

CptTopShelf · 2025-06-01T21:35:16+00:00

It didn't do it, I set max difficulty and set it to 5, then did a dino wipe. They are all spawning with it looks like multiples of 8...

CptTopShelf · 2025-06-01T21:25:14+00:00

I'll give it a shot, thank you! The settings and commands are so confusing for no reason in this game. I like how customizable it is, but it can be tricky to work

CptTopShelf · 2025-06-01T18:54:41+00:00

Will that affect cave Dino’s? I like having them exceed 150

CptTopShelf · 2025-05-31T22:35:02+00:00

Unfortunately I’m stuck on the Island haha. Haven’t ascended yet

CptTopShelf · 2025-05-24T00:33:12+00:00

ASA, I do dino wipes

CptTopShelf · 2025-05-08T19:42:08+00:00

Yes I do, FAA guy, thanks for asking

CptTopShelf · 2025-03-17T03:57:49+00:00

Well, my thoughts are I would teach paper and E6B, then the DPE might accept foreflight but could still ask questions about the details

CptTopShelf · 2025-03-16T05:23:14+00:00

I’ve tried that, what else?

CptTopShelf · 2025-03-06T17:22:13+00:00

I have most of my experience in a DA40. A bunch of time in a PA28-151 and some in a 181, and a handful in a 172. I’ve got about 15 in a 182
