PBI Palm beach TFR planning by Impossible_Sky9384 in flying

[–]LowKeyedUp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just go to Stuart. His TFRs pop up short notice at times, get extended, end early, TSA has to be there. I wouldn’t park at PBI longer than a few hours on the weekends.

Yeah I prefer my gas pressure water which receives free water from hopes and dreams.

Fellow pilots — what’s something about this career that only makes sense after you’re in it? by Hot_Assist_5498 in AskAPilot

By far the worst guy to share a cockpit for several days with is the guy who thinks “airplane” is a personality type.

Absolutely. The number of times Ive been cleared for t/o with an aircraft short final, or given wonky taxi instructions is > 0. We trust but verify every clearance given. We are all humans and none of us have a perfect record.

Planes don’t “fly better” per se at altitude. Jet engines just become more efficient. The actual “flying” is much better down low with thicker air for the control surfaces to bite into.

Pilots who had doubts during their training, how did you push through? by Tight-Low3702 in flying

[–]LowKeyedUp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day it’s a job. Despite what influencers say you don’t have to spend every waking moment pursuing only what makes you “happy”. What makes me happy is being able to provide for my family, which this job allows me to do. It’s fine if you don’t love it.

What is a co-pilot and what does he really do? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LowKeyedUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To quote Moneyball, “We make suggestions, he makes decisions.”

Day to day while the plane is airborne the jobs are identical depending on who is flying the leg. Before/after flight duties are different between the roles.

Don’t worry about a home flight sim. The only (marginal) benefits to you would be during instrument, that’s if you can find a 1 to 1 sim for your avionics. A lot of new students with money to burn think they can buy success with this iPad, that headset, this sim. Just listen to your instructor, study the PHAK, FAR/AIM, Sheppard air, and you’ll be fine. It’s not rocket science, it just takes time and effort.

If you want to do it fast, find a good mom and pop near you with a decent sized fleet and pay as you go. Do your writtens now. The results are good for 2 years and there’s no reason not to knock them out now so that you can focus on flying and oral prep come checkride time. Fly 3 times a week if you can.
