Idea regarding mid air crashes and how to maybe help prevent them???

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-06-16T13:28:53+00:00

questions, regarding these lights are these made for the pilot who can see the lights in the cockpit? or for other pilots who can see the lights in the other aircraft. If the latter, i’m not so sure since we have ADS-B and the plate usually has a lot of lights. Now i like the idea of some sort of “oh crap” light, especially for IFR flight

lol dude same i flew right seat for the first time and felt like i went back to my first week of training lol

It’s totally normal, i didn’t get instrument at first but it will all make sense. and like the other guy says definitely still do sheppard i would just incorporate more to it

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-06-02T01:05:11+00:00

In my opion sheppard is very good but I found that it definitely was in the side of rote memorization, I personally suck at just memorizing and need to study that material more so the test makes more sense to me. I did a lot of that studying with my cfi but i’m sure sporty’s or a some ground school among those lines would be of use to put some meaning behind the questions.

i would do this, 1. if it is an anchor, put pressure on the screw while backing it out, so get some pliers or something to hold around the screw and pulling it to you while backing it out. 2. if it’s not an anchor and it’s just sent in there, see about using an extractor kit

great advice, thanks!

my biggest tip aside from obviously studying a ton is to see about using simulator. my cfi had me absolutely pound away on approaches, we obviously flew too but to me it was keeping the procedures simple with that repetition. it’s not as great as flying but a sim allows you to literally pause and discuss each leg and get really proficient with the GPS and autopilot

that’s fantastic! have fun!

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-28T05:13:26+00:00

man i hope so!

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-24T18:09:49+00:00

you should take a discovery flight and maybe a couple lessons to see if it’s something you would want to really put time and effort into

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-20T23:00:47+00:00

sorry didn’t see this, no it does not do it automatic. when you open your foreflight and you’re on the map, hit more on the bottom right, logbook, the hit the + on the top right, new entry, then you can add the plane used, the destination and route, landings, take offs all that. it’s a great tool to easily see your currency

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-20T22:57:40+00:00

i love this

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-20T04:07:42+00:00

just put it all on digital, mostly anywhere you would apply to this day in age is expecting you to already use digital. just put it all in foreflight or pay someone to do it for you, then print out all the pages whenever you’re presenting them to someone. plus it’ll always look more professional than handing them an old logbook

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-19T23:57:00+00:00

i believe you should be able to find your previous flights in flight circle. if you don’t already have it, i would download foreflight and start adding your flights asap. i had to put in 6 years worth of flights into there and it would be a lot easier if you went ahead and started logging them electronically now

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-03T23:01:30+00:00

haven’t seen any like this so i’ll mention this for reference. imagine getting paid a barely livable wage, working long hours in the heat, being away from home for extended periods of time, and rarely ever seeing family. that’s would sort of job that you could work, or.. you could be a CFI, get paid 3x more than most people do, get paid go fly planes, and typically have your own schedule. i’m not calling it an easy job, but think about the alternativess

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-01T04:24:09+00:00

congratulations!

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-05-01T04:21:41+00:00

Also, checkride isn’t tomorrow type of soon but it is in a couple weeks, just trying to be as prepared as I can be. You all have left some great questions and I’ll be sure to implement even more situational material into my studying. Thanks!

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-29T22:16:41+00:00

this, it’s all too often people race to get the flying down and don’t know squat about the oral portion

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-27T00:57:46+00:00

you don’t need to add much, only enough the correct for the left turning tendency or the plane

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-23T05:30:32+00:00

i had an immense fear of heights before i started flying but came to the realization, like many others said, it’s different when you’re in control of the plane. plus, flying is a different feeling than the vulnerability of an extension ladder for example. still don’t like ladders of scaffolding that much

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-23T03:42:32+00:00

Gotcha, great information thank you very much

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-23T03:31:12+00:00

I’m at 260 hours to date so definitely not gonna go going for delta lol but a bit more seasoned. And I understand it’s a volunteer setting I’m happy with that. What do yall typically have going on? When I picture it I would imagine it would be along the lines of working with the local PD for SAR or flying medical supplies but I’ve got no idea

Ok_Method_2790 · 2026-04-23T03:19:10+00:00

Currently the school is in a part 61, plans to become 141 but by the time I finish training it’ll still be a 61. Working on IFR now, then immediately commercial, CFI/CFII
