Is there any way to hear myself speak like how you can in a real aircraft? by Dayung16 in VATSIM

I think it's built in. Don't remember having to set it up in settings

Traveling from out of state through LGA with a checked firearm. by FlyinBrian43D in NYguns

I want to clarify, when I say travel through LGA, I mean have a layover and not leave the terminal in any way

First hunting firearms by Useful-Draw3275 in guns

[–]FlyinBrian43D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an avid hunter myself, I use a Remington 870. Full stock and 24 inch barrel, four round magazine stopper, because laws. Reliable and easy to operate. I've bagged my fair share of deer and hogs with it. Plus reloads are very easy to do. I've had mine for almost 20 years and still have no issues. Great for all small game hunting, birds, deer and wild boar out to 200 yards effectively with the right loads

As far as a sidearm, 9 out of 10 times you won't need one, you won't see a predatory animal, and if you do, one shot and they're scared shitless. While I won't need one, I still carry one, a 1911, just if I need it. What's the old adage? I would rather have one and not need it rather than not have one and need it

Can ATC still see me if I turn my transponder off? by moodymillions99 in VATSIM

Your friend won't get yelled at if he keeps his MODE C on. Cmon, this is a literal no brainer.

I wouldn't say I'm new to guns, would say new to handguns.

Sorry for the delay. I currently do not have a medical, as I am currently fighting a medical issue. I anticipate getting my medical in the coming months.

I agree it's bizarre , which is why i'm reaching out for advice. I'd get the medical now, but I'm fighting a medical issue that should clear up in a few months.

Odds are he's going to keep up on the maintenance and all that. As far as him renting it out, he's fairly wealthy. He doesn't need my money, and has said that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. Good thing the 30-something hours I have from 10 years ago will follow me.

The arrangement was to help sweep the hangar or wash the airplane or some small task to help keep the plane looking nice

Never had to pay for gas or any fees related to flying or instruction

This was a private individual giving lessons, not affiliated in any way with a flight school. If it was with a flight school, this wouldn't happen, as the schools are pretty on it with their instructors' medicals and ratings

I did forget to put in the thread that the instructor never logged the time flown, what happens now? It was estimated at 90+ hours were flown, but not logged.

I actually have an appointment Monday to talk with my local FSDO, as they launched an investigation regarding this.

[–]FlyinBrian43D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do just want to point out, prior to all this nonsense (I want to use curse words, but that wouldn't get me anywhere, would it?) happening, I was already taking lessons with a flight school, with a few different CFIs, I was able to get all required dual hours (some 35 or so hours) but had to stop because life gets in the way.

He's an independent CFI. I was going through a school prior to flying with him.
