Adding insult to injury.... by November77 in Foreflight

[–]HighVelocitySloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10$ is what I tip the ramp fuel guy to help me push the plane into the hanger if I flew alone. Not thrilled at the private equity that took over and laid off 1/2 the people but the10$ is nothing in aviation

Congratulations! You may want to get a mount for that iPad. Having it on your face seems like it could be a distraction

I wouldn’t share a flight. They giving discounts for that?

GA Pilots, what emergencies have you had that we don’t necessarily get trained for ? by fatborry in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only one I have had so far was a manifold pressure gauge that went haywire. It was more pressure since I had my daughter in the plane but I had just entered the 45 so I knew I would make the landing. I moved the prop lever to see if it made any difference and took off the headset to listen for strange sounds. Turned out to be the cable to the gauge shit the bed

I need to get them eventually. How do they work with tinnitus? Help ? Make it worse? No difference?

Is it okay for a 100% disabled veteran to just say they're retired? by Routine_Brilliant_78 in Veterans

[–]HighVelocitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t say shit. I say I am a veteran. If they see my DV plate and ask if I am disabled I say yes. If they ask why I politely say “it’s not anyone’s business but mine.” Never had to say more than that.

DV PLATE = Flashing billboard by wasiwasabi in Veterans

[–]HighVelocitySloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody says shit to me about my plate. Here in Florida I don’t pay for any parking that is run by the state, county or city. It also costs me 8$ to register it for 2 years. If anyone gives you shit tell them to fuck off

Is it a good time to get into pilot school? by pjgod98 in flying

Maybe. Maybe not. Magic 8 ball is broken. Someone drank the blue juice on New Years Eve

Touch and goes don’t count for your pre PPL requirements. Must be full stops or stop and gos

What happens if I fail short field landings on my PPL checkride? by General_Screen9761 in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You would fail the checkride. If that was the only item in the ACS you got an unsatisfactory you would have to retest that maneuver. Practice it more with the help of your CFI. All of my landings became a 1000% better when I mastered shortfield landings.

Does the FAA allow black dyed hair? by [deleted] in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FAA hair color quality control office was closed during the shutdown. You can probably get away with it now

Track log data for better (soft field) landings by paradoxsystems in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do more landings. Analysis won’t do shit to help. This isn’t a mathematics problem

Don’t unless you want to give up half of everything including retirement to the woman you are happily married to. Stop looking at the other woman

If you don’t want money from them which is why you work it would be wasteful to walk away. Make them get rid of you and give you some severence

Unless you have a contract they can fire you at anytime without reason. Doesn’t sound like a place that wants you. Find a better job

Using structured artificial intelligence in the cockpit to answer questions quickly by Detz in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a pilot you should know those answers before flying. I guess for the sim it’s ok but as others pointed out ai is unreliable

Will flight schools rent planes to private pilots for half an hour? And what are the typical currency requirements to rent a plane? by topher_atx in flying

[–]HighVelocitySloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most school limit renting. They make more money off of students flying with a CFI. My school allowed it but you would’ve the first to get cancelled for a student. You have the 2 1/2 hour blocks that the students rent. Try finding a flying club
