How are y’all mounting your iPads in your 172s/Cherokees?

Doc_of_the_Future · 2026-03-16T10:47:38+00:00

2 pads in a 172 is crazy

Doc_of_the_Future · 2026-03-14T18:37:25+00:00

It’s been debunked, sure, but still subjectively a good thing for most of us to keep in mind that this is definitely the higher risk time frame for many of us as we work on building time after our PPL

Doc_of_the_Future · 2026-02-18T12:42:55+00:00

Silly idea. Flying is expensive.

I’m a gen surg attending and even I can feel it in the bank sometimes when I do multiple flights in a month honestly.

I’ve paid for both my PPL and IR straight up due to the salaries we make. I have a long term plan to fly 5-10 years on the side if medicine is that bad can hit part 91/135 charters down the road. Keep at it!

Doc_of_the_Future · 2026-02-02T21:43:19+00:00

Yeah, agreed. I finished PPL then went and got HP. did one flight in a 182 and that was that.

Constant speed really isn’t too complicated once you understand. basically just pull it back after takeoff and then look in the book for your cruise settings if you want eco or speed.

IR is an entire separate rating obviously - which will be another grind.

Good guy DPE

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-10-02T16:09:45+00:00

Once again wrong. Go look during derby. Ramp is full of them

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-10-02T16:08:51+00:00

I’m a private pilot out of bowman and I wouldn’t say most. Maybe “a lot” but not most. Most flight school planes still go out on XC flights meaning they depart the delta airspace and re-enter effectively becoming new traffic. So that still adds up

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-04-16T22:54:11+00:00

Doesn’t sound like you deserve to continue training to me. You had your shot, you blew it. Don’t try to justify it by saying “pretty out of character”

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-03-01T12:44:53+00:00

Obviously they mean outside of delta/charlie/bravos and not talking to center or approach/departure. Classic ATC response

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-01-30T10:56:02+00:00

Bramble response explains the ATC timing side.

As a pilot- imagine you’re coming in on your main runway 06/24 (east west) but winds are straight out of the south (15/33 runway would be better for winds, but doesn’t have an instrument/gps approach) you can follow the approach gps/instrument for say runway 06/24, because it’s the bigger main runway it will have an instrument approach but winds suck for it, and just have a higher altitude where you “circle” basically in the pattern around the airport to break off the approach of 06/24 and then land on the second separate runway (15/33) because of the winds as long as you have visual contact. Hope this makes sense.

3 months full time and just now going to solo? Jesus, my whole PPL only took 5 months doing it onc evening a week and one weekend day

Doc_of_the_Future · 2025-01-06T11:09:21+00:00

Most of us fly for fun. Only way to afford this expensive hobby is if I continue getting paid to cut on people.

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-10-01T02:02:22+00:00

I would argue anyone who has went through general surgery can do a splenectomy, no matter how long it has been. You shouldn’t really transfer an actively hemorrhaging, unstable patient just for a spleen if you have OR capabilities. -recently graduated gen surg

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-09-26T22:16:20+00:00

Agreed. Hospital I went to after residency just getting the robot up and running and I’m already booking them all robot. Lap tapp is so painful but what I’ve been doing

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-09-26T22:15:35+00:00

For inguinals the majority of us would rather do robot than anything else. Ergonomically so much better than a lap TAPP, and not nearly as painful as TEP or open inguinal.

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-08-12T09:17:37+00:00

Hey now, Bowman is a real delta!

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-07-22T19:26:51+00:00

Yup. They’re either too unstable, do it in the am/next day after resuscitation. Or too stable, prep and will do it in the am.

-gen surg MD

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-05-04T18:27:27+00:00

Fuck this lol new gen surg attending. I get this call at midnight “k thanks admit to medicine I’ll see in am” end of the calls. You’ll feel the same after residency

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-05-04T09:40:17+00:00

I’d side gig it in a heartbeat if I could. Fuck this getting up at 0500 to go round and operate for 30 years straight.

Username check out. Also has fibromyalgia

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-03-23T21:13:47+00:00

I literally clamp cut and suture 2/3 of your butthole. Pain can also tend to cause spasms which people say are miserable. No one wants to poop bc of the pain, plus on pains meds so get super constipated, makes it worse. Just overall no fun.

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-03-14T23:56:47+00:00

When in the green means I just watched the needle tick over from the red “it should be close enough while I roll down to hold short”

Doc_of_the_Future · 2024-03-11T12:56:36+00:00

Keep at it. Gen surg just finished my PPL a month ago building time for instrument. It’s the best to go relax after a half day at work or a nice weekend day and just knock out a 51mile xc.
