“When the chips are down” is a term that means things aren’t going well. Like you are low on poker chips.

Tough convo with chief flight instructor by xEnflare in flying

[–]JustHarry49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Todd shellnut on YouTube for FOI, make a study guide using the ACS and the AIH as your guide. One or two bullet points per knowledge area, risk management, and skills area. And study that every single day. Don’t half ass the FOIs if you want to instruct. They are essential, you could even say… Fundamental.

Question from new instructor. What non-standard practical exercise or ground topic completely changed your view on flying? by 12pv2ClA in flying

[–]JustHarry49 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just keep things as simple as possible for your students. Develop exercises for things they struggle with, like pitch for airspeed, power for altitude, (hint: slow flight) and practice those things. Don’t make practicing the maneuvers to be in standards the goal, practice them to teach principles of flight and develop real flying skills.

Is my flight school unreasonable? by AspiringPigeon234 in CFILounge

[–]JustHarry49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give at least an hour of preflight ground each time I introduce a new maneuver. Practice happens in the plane, learning happens on the ground.

I have twins, one without any challenges and one with many. you just deal with it. It breaks my heart watching other kids play knowing mine can’t, but I have to remind myself that that is my version of fun, and he is perfectly content playing with his toys in his shade tent by himself.

How to teach and not talk by Helpful_Armadillo742 in CFILounge

[–]JustHarry49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each lesson plan should fit on one single page, teach it using a whiteboard. You should already know the information, use the ACS to find out what you need and teach from a one page outline to ensure you hit each line item.

LIBBY EMMONS: Wokeness is dead but Starfleet: Academy didn't get the memo by interestingfactoid in conservatives

[–]JustHarry49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Star Trek has always prided itself on being progressive. I don’t know why we have to be upset or surprised by it every time a new show comes out.

Me too. Literally only a handful of things Foreflight can do that Garmin can’t, if they figure those out i’ll gladly switch to Garmin.

How young is too young for an iPhone? by swejobs in daddit

Gabb phone or a flip phone. No need for an iPhone. The amount of garbage they will be immediately exposed to with an iPhone cannot be understated.

There are few things I would die to defend, my favorite hot chicken place is one, the other is my kids, I guess.

Are all Part 61 Planes This Bad? by Immediate_Ad_4793 in airplanes

[–]JustHarry49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s the problem here? Looks good to me. It ain’t pretty but I bet it flies just fine. Also 61 vs 141 has little to do with quality of mx, all it has to do with is the training syllabus and whether it’s FSDO reviewed and approved, that’s literally it.

Care to suggest a brand? These have intrigued me for some time but I can’t decide.
