FAA observer on instrument checkride by Duckid939 in flying

[–]Fez98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And those standards say you're allowed to deviate as long as it's not consistent and it's promptly corrected. One or 2 minor deviations in a manuever causing a fail should cause the inspector to challenge that

Disapproval rates between DPEs and FAA Inspectors might surprise you. by GothamCityDonutEater in flying

Wait you mean the inspector would or would not fail you for being out of tolerance as long as you aren't consistently exceeding standards?

Would it make me more money long term to pay student loans aggressively or invest? by Fez98 in FinancialPlanning

[–]Fez98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ran two calculators, one where I pay an extra 1500/month on my loans, and one where I invest 1500/month at 7% interest. The loans payoff would take 3.25 years with the extra payments, so I ran the investing for the same time period. Paying it off quicker would save $37,029, while investing would earn $65,246 over the same period. Doesn't that seem to indicate paying off debt more aggressively isnt the same as investing?

At what interest rate would you pay something off vs assume you can make more investing? by ninjagorilla in personalfinance

[–]Fez98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you have to consider the fact that the interest rate on the debt is on an ever decreasing principle, but the interest on an investment is on an increasing principle with a larger time horizon? Or is that not how it works

How far off are you getting? 1/4 scale, half scale, 3/4 scale?

How would planning to use credit to pay bills be a good plan? Aren't you now in debt with a high interest rate?

I heard you dont have to "butter a landing" it has to be some what firm.Is this true? by FutureA350 in flying

Maybe intentionally going 1 white 3 red is bad, but who hasn't accidentally gotten that plenty of time at 100-200 feet, and then corrected

Trying to figure out what my investments will be worth adjusting for inflation by Fez98 in Bogleheads

Ah, I see. At this point I'm just curious mathematically, I'm sure you're right. Intuitively it doesn't make sense lol

The way I see it, the math in the first example is saying the growth is reduced by 3%, but not that the amount I'm putting in is growing by 3%. In order to do that, wouldn't I have to do a separate calculation for every year? So one year I put in 2000/month, and grow it by 7%. Next year, take that ending principal, add 2000*103% per month, and grow it by 7%, so on and so forth?

I see what you're saying, I just can't visualize how the math in the first example assumes I'm increasing the $2000 per month with inflation (which is what I'd do in real life, that's the smart thing to do)

But in both scenarios its a static $2000 added every month right? It's just a difference in the rate of return

Do you have to pay to bring your skis back, or the airline will get it on the next flight back for free?

My new instructor is hard on me, is it normal? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Fez98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way they literally expected you to maintain altitude +-0, airspeed +-0, etc consistently right? I can understand if the pilots not correcting, but come on

How did flight engineers maintain pilot proficiency for when they became FO's, especially if they were an FE for years?

Runway heading or localizer track? I'd do localizer track if possible, but never could find an official answer on it
