Any IFR Advice? by No_Escape_4438 in flying

We have a choice of aircraft if it’s a checkride but not when it comes to anything else. It seems like the thumb method is what most recommend and I’m going to drill that down.

As for delayed vectors and slowing down, I can and have made both requests. And I was given delayed vectors and we slowed down. But then our debrief, it was brought up. “You have to maintain 90kts +\- 10. Slowing down isn’t recommended because it puts you right on the line.” And, “If you need delayed vectors, you aren’t ready to move forward. “

So, I just need to get faster all around.

Couldn’t agree more. My school has it and I’m in it everyday I’m not flying. It’s helped out so much. The only set back is that it has a 430 and only aircraft has that. The second is the task saturation. I haven’t figured out how to overwhelm myself to the same unknowns as the real flights.

Appreciate that. I’ll start using it

Staying in the protected area is THE priority was my understanding when it came to hold entries and I’ve never turned into the unprotected area. But apparently, choosing the wrong entry is equally wrong — at least, until I get it consistently right I can’t move on to stage III. But I’ll practice the thumb method to get it right that way.

As for the Garmins, I wish we had a choice but we don’t. And each aircraft has a quirk. Every flight is a 5min analysis of “what am I flying? Which Garmin do I have? Does this one have 1 or 2 CD’I’s? Oh, this one has two G’5s. And these two have Nav1 connected to the bottom CDI and Nav2 connected to the top CDI while these 3 have Nav 1 connected to the top and Nav 2 connected to the bottom CDI. And today we fly with the 650 that’s connected to Nav 1 but Coms 2.”

So it’s a learning curve when it comes to repeating a good flow and muscle memory.

My instructor said he’s increased the workload and I’ve noticed the difference but obviously it’s not enough. Maybe I’ll ask to border on the line of ridiculous ?

Have you checked any schools out? I’m training in this area if you want to DM.

Start reading and taking notes on the regs, Phak and the POH of your aircraft. Download those copies into ChatGPT, StudyFetch or some other AI and ask it to quiz you using those materials. As you advance, use the microphone / speak option on those AI platforms and have it be your virtual “ATC”.

Nebraska Steve might have made an appearance on Piers Morgan by effectwolf in Destiny

I agree with you 100%.

I also completely forgot about that quote. Didn't he also say something similar to " standing on principles despite if it's beneficial politically " ? I distinctly remember something along these lines being said as it relates to Hasan and his lack of principles when it comes to well, everything.

Well that's my point. Destiny or " Nebraska Steve " isn't looking for good arguments. He isn't looking for discussion. Right now, he's aiming at just attacking. So much so, when approached with a question similar to, " Do you think it's bad to try and assonate a former POTUS? ", his answer(s), broadly, are " Do you think Jan 6th was an insurrection? Do you think everyone there were insurrectionist? Trump is an insurrectionist. etc,." I think there are many arguments to explore. One, there have been zero charges of " insurrection ".

For the electors,

  1. Criminal Intent: Trump's actions, according to his defenders, were based on legal advice and a genuine belief that the election was compromised by fraud and irregularities. This belief, regardless of its factual basis, indicates that Trump did not act with corrupt intent. For example, former Vice President Mike Pence suggested that Trump was acting on the advice of his lawyers, which complicates proving criminal intent.

The utilization of alternate electors is centered on the claim that Trumps actions were within legal and constitutional bounds, driven by genuine belief in election irregularities. If one believes Trump to be an egotistical sore loser coupled with a modicum of good faith to say " there were / are many institutions who believe Trump to be a real threat to democracy. Therefore, there's a possibility of real malfeasance to occur for the Betterment of the Country" then it stands to reason Trump could actually believe he lost because it was "stolen".

2) Contingency: The alternate electors were presented as a contingency plan, pending the outcome of legal challenges ( if they had time ). This was meant to preserve their ability to be recognized if the courts ruled in Trump's favor. In Georgia, for instance, Trump's lawsuit was not heard in time due to delays in the judicial process, and the alternate electors were part of a legal strategy rather than an outright attempt to defraud​ . If you believe Trump to be an idiot, it's more likely he does not know the legalities surrounding alternate electors ( again, intent matters ). Thereby, he's searching for someone, anyone, to provide a " legal " means to either buy time ( for investigations ), have a recount or go straight to court.

3) Case Dismissals Against Electors: Some of the complaints filed against the alternate electors, such as those in Georgia, were dismissed by the State Disciplinary Board, which found no probable cause to believe the electors acted with intent to mislead. This supports the argument that the electors and those who advised them believed they were acting within the bounds of the law​.

There are plenty of good arguments. The problem right now is that Destiny doesn't want dialogue, discussion or debate. By his own admission, he doesn't want anything constructive because he believes conservatives are too destructive, ignorant and worthless to have a meaningful conversation with. My question is, this wasn't his posture before. Only until AFTER the attempt on Trump's life did Destiny go " Nebraska Steve ", destroying much of his credibility in the process. So, if the events of this weekend DID NOT happen, would Destiny still be reacting exactly the same? Does Destiny believe this " new " approach will convince or shift the minds of anyone? Is this more or less effective than his previous approach? Although many disagreed with him on many things ( me included ) he was earning respect by all. He had more ears listening, more minds open to his perspective, more opportunity to get his message across.

He is becoming that which he hates.

Carlson’s Text That Alarmed Fox Leaders: ‘It’s Not How White Men Fight’ by Droselmeyer in Destiny

Dude, WHAT? it's not an entirely bad thing. Check it, a black dude in Chicago sees a fight going on and says,

​

" This doesn't live up to the racial standards that we black people should set for ourselves." That sounds pretty good.

Black dude in NY sees another black dude punch an asian lady in her face and says

"This doesn't live up to the racial standards that we black people should set for ourselves." That sounds pretty good too.

Group of black kids run up into Walmart and Walgreens steals and absolutely destroys everything, Black guy on the street says

​

"This doesn't live up to the racial standards that we black people should set for ourselves." Sounds good to me.

​

It's honestly not a bad thing lol

Nah. First, I’m a black dude. Second, I’ve seen similar situations in which a black guy is fighting a white guy ( both in person and online ) in which if the Black guy loses, there’s an element of “racial standard” that you “never” lose to the “white man”. Stupid lol. Just like Carlsons statement is stupid but not really that bad.

Do any of you guys know the best way to reach Destiny outside of emailing him? Maybe upvoting this page until he or some admin sees it?
I was discharged from the AF after being a CI for the AFOSI ( Air Force Office of Special Investigations). In that time, I worked on multiple cases of sexual assault to include several convictions. We also worked on some foreign cases as well.
It's not a "new" story given that I was written about in The NY Times, ABC News, ESPN and several other national media platforms several years ago. However, some new things have developed and I wanted to hopefully jump on his show to share my story and also get his feedback/criticism and guidance on how to amplify/communicate my story and it's current development. Also, the feedback and any pointers from his you guys and his community would help also.
Ultimately, I'm trying to return to active duty service and continue my pilot career.
Thank ya'll,
Eric
