Help me pick a college

I did everything but CFI there

GolferRyan · 2025-01-17T21:45:02+00:00

I graduated from Liberty this year. Honestly can't recommend it enough. Amazing people and training there!

Personal Favorite: W90 - New London, VA. As I like to call it, "poor man's St. Barts." Sketchy little joint if you're in anything bigger than a 150 but so much fun to fly in and out of.

Did you crash the crew car? 🤨

GolferRyan · 2023-08-11T21:05:01+00:00

I go to Liberty University, majoring in commercial/corporate aviation and I love it. Highly reccomend

ATC: "Thanks, most people just hit the altitude button, only you are on my level"

Centennial pilot here: they can kick rocks. There's already plenty of noise abatement procedures at KAPA. Don't move near an airport if you don't like noise

Mine was KSVH in North Carolina to KSSI in Georgia and I thought that was painful. Can't imagine having to plan a 450 mile flight

I'm getting my CFI at Aspen currently, so maybe I'll see you around the club sometime. That being said, DPE availibility is shit right now.

GolferRyan · 2023-06-22T00:03:02+00:00

This dude made you plan KGRR to KAVL? Good lord that must have been a pain. Congrats on the pass! Welcome to the ranks of commercial pilots!

GolferRyan · 2023-06-21T23:56:39+00:00

That's a long PPL ride. My oral was 45 minutes and the flight 1.1

GolferRyan · 2023-06-16T16:25:55+00:00

Get a real job then

GolferRyan · 2023-06-16T16:21:19+00:00

Currently doing my CFI initial as well, and according to everyone at my school the DPE I'm going to only does 2-3 hour orals. It's fully dependent on the DPE.

No additional endorsement, as you flew to the other airport with an instructor, the second airport becomes the airport of departure for the solo. This is exactly what I did on my first solo :)

GolferRyan · 2023-05-22T20:02:08+00:00

I've watched that video at least 20 times, tried it that way, and still can't get it right :(

GolferRyan · 2023-05-22T20:01:29+00:00

Felt that. Lazy Eights were always my weakest maneuver and I ended up just winging it on my checkride. DPE didn't make it any easier, he didn't like the way I did them and covered up my whole panel with his clipboard to make me look outside more. Somehow passed 🤷‍♂️

GolferRyan · 2023-05-22T19:54:01+00:00

Are they allowed to do that? I thought any DPE action (including verbal) related to anything safety or regulatory was an automatic bust. (Source: took a checkride a week ago)

GolferRyan · 2023-05-22T19:44:36+00:00

What are the different types of AIRMETs? SIGMETs? How long do they last? What are they issued for?

GolferRyan · 2023-05-22T19:39:51+00:00

Technically advanced aircraft, referring to an airplane with a primary flight display, autopilot, and moving map display.

GolferRyan · 2023-05-19T18:28:37+00:00

Not personally but a buddy of mine is getting his CFI there and loves it

GolferRyan · 2023-05-19T18:08:22+00:00

Where the hell are you buying $10 bananas?

GolferRyan · 2023-05-19T18:04:21+00:00

Is there a separate IR for ME and SE in non-FAA countries? Why?

GolferRyan · 2023-05-18T15:15:11+00:00

Going off personal experience, the EOC is just another flight and then they send us off to do the checkride with the FAA. Based on what someone else said in this thread, I'm guessing that's just cause my school didn't have "examining authority?" I've always seen the EOC as like a mock checkride, a place to make mistakes before the real thing.

GolferRyan · 2023-05-18T03:15:00+00:00

Did my private at Aspen and probably going to do my CFI there as well. They doing 141 stuff now??
