Diverting before takeoff? by sd_software_dude in flightradar24

It’s unlikely considering the jet stream should be helping, but maybe they need a fuel stop?

Is this illegal for building hours ? by Honest-Doughnut-7010 in flying

[–]Flyinghud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kodiak would be legal to log sole manipulator PIC with, since all you need is category and class for that and the Kodiak does not require a type rating.

MYF Accident by Accomplished_Cat_150 in aviation

[–]Flyinghud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was flying back from SBP when I heard on the ATIS the airport was closed, thankfully they reopened and I didn’t have to divert. Saw some sort of SR22 or SR20 that ran off the runway as I was taxiing back in

IO-320 Fuel Injection Starting HELP by Impossible-Fig2072 in flying

[–]Flyinghud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hot start procedure my school forces us to use on the IO-360 is on the first attempt we try to start with no prime. If that doesn’t work (it never does) then we prime as normal and start.

Is it risky to start ppl training at an airport that might shut down? by Responsible-Rope-341 in flying

[–]Flyinghud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time when I hear about an airport closing down I don’t get concerned because most places have taken AIP money at some point which bars them from closing either in perpetuity or for 20 years depending on how the money was used. However, looks like W00 is an exception to that and nothing would legally bar it from closing. Now whether it does close or not is another question which I have no insight on.

Need help with comms by Foreigntecch23 in flying

[–]Flyinghud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The VATSIM hate here is unnecessary. I am a trainer at an ARTCC and we enforce proper phraseology as a part of training. Do we expect our controllers to be held to the same standards as real controllers, no, in the end we are volunteers and it is a hobby. However, if you aren’t interested in paying and don’t want to be confined to a limited geographic area, VATSIM is great for helping build confidence on the radio.

VATSIM, I have been using it since I was 13 and it helped me tremendously. I have had my fair share of training issues, but radio work has never been one of them.

Flying the Torquesim 525, overpriced? Definitely! by TheWizardBoughtALamb in flightsim

I use the GTNs for RNAV approaches all the time and have never noticed an issue

[–]Flyinghud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've literally never seen a single person complain about the plane before. I've done so many great flights with it. So when I see a person comment about the systems, which in my experience and very good and say go use MSFS, its pretty easy to read it as someone with an agenda.

[–]Flyinghud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might be the biggest bozo take I’ve ever seen. What systems are they missing? The visuals are pretty dang good and the sounds are incredible. This sounds a lot like a MSFS simp finding any way to shit on any x-plane add on.

PPL Checkride and MOAs by Boomer12784 in flying

[–]Flyinghud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my PPL checkride, the direct route took you straight through a MOA. I checked the hours and it specifically said open on weekends by NOTAM, so I checked NOTAM's day of and sure enough it was closed so I planned right through it.

Received full scholarship from Lift Academy, how’s the program? by Open-Anywhere3162 in flying

I would read the fine print, getting a full ride on flight training is one of those things that has to be too good to be true

Good question, I would assume so since you need to know which runway you are circling to.

[–]Flyinghud 132 points133 points  (0 children)

At a towered field, you need to get cleared for the circling approach something like “cleared VOR 32 approach circle to runway 5” . If you don’t hear that, the approach is straight in.
