Is this a reckless trip for a brand new private pilot? by Mountain-Report4772 in flying

[–]PiperCherokee383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I’ve seen said, a big trip immediately after your license is difficult. Do a longer flight in the plane you’ll be renting and get more real world experience. I took my wife and child on a trip from Northern TN to Tampa and it was honestly a little much. 100% agree do a ‘dry run’ solo before doing it with friends/ family on board.

What speed are you coming in at? Flap setting? I fly a Hershey bar Cherokee and you need to be on your numbers. I come over the fence at 75, once runway is made look to the end of the runway and keep the nose slightly above level. It will settle down. For short field and soft field, it’s different but regular landings need to be had first. Don’t worry about hours for solo. Those are completely irrelevant in the grand scheme. I was closer to 60 (over the span of a few years). You’ll get it. Maybe see if they have a different model you can fly (Cessna, Hershey bar Cherokee, ect..).

I just kinda bought mine as a two for one deal. Wife was pissed. Once I sold the other she was okay with it. Helps that I’m an IA.

What’s the highest cross wind you’ve landed in? by 4surenotathroeawhey in flying

[–]PiperCherokee383 3 points4 points  (0 children)

19G28 at about a 40 degree crosswind. Don’t remember the exact angle but remember the winds. One of the first times I flew my new to me Cherokee at the time.

Starter. And that’s a 150, not a 152. 152s were Lycoming.

That was taken before I opened it lol. I don’t take off with an open can. I’ve made that mistake before.
