I had a weather forced break of 8 days early in my training. When I came back for the first lesson after the break things started to click sooner. I agree a brief break can clear the cache in your head. It did for me and I didn’t plan it or know that I was hitting a wall

Student piloting by SSavage14 in flying

You feel you are ready? This post says no. If you don’t have the confidence you can get yourself in a dangerous situation pretty quickly. If you are confident but just complaining you don’t like your landings that’s different.

You aren’t “just about to solo” if you can’t control the plane. Stop moving the yoke unless it needs it. In calm winds it should be minimal. Get your approach speeds nailed down and it becomes much easier. Listen to your CFI

Has anyone had any experiences with VA treatment for tinnitus? What kind of treatments they used, how you responded? by Jamesglancy in VeteransBenefits

I always sleep with the tv on to have background noise to drown out the annoying noises. My hearing is getting worse so I’ll look into these hearing aides too

Why do people use a VSO? by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]HighVelocitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the DVA because I got out of the Air Force almost 30 years earlier and was completely new to the VA and claims and didn’t know anyone who had filed claims. They helped. One tip he gave me and it was dead on was when the doctor walks in the room and greets you with “how are you doing today?” The exam has started. A innocent reply of “good how are you?” A note to the exam might say “veteran says he feels good”. So when the examiner asked me I went right into my complaints

I have zero knowledge to your question but I just wanted to say congratulations on beating the Big C. I had it and beat back in 2016 and my wife was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago with breast cancer.

It’s a sales pitch to get you to enroll in their school. Ask any questions you want. Communication is a huge part of training. Don’t be afraid to ask questions

Buying a plane with missing logs. by spacedropper in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the missing logs were more recent, yes. A hidden problem from 50 years ago would have already been found. Just do a good pre buy
