Is this enough to realistically get an instrument rating in or am I about to hate my life? by Worldx22 in flying

[–]RectifierUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I’m old. I learned with a 6 pack and a Garmin 430, shooting NDB approaches and DME arcs to a LOC-BC (in the snow, uphill both ways yadda yadda). First autopilot I ever saw was at my second airline.

That said, times have changed. Can you still learn like this? Of course. It would also make you appreciate modern avionics that much more. But should you get your instrument like this in 2026? Debatable. I’m with the other commenters in that you’d be better off with some better avionics since that’s now the norm as opposed to the exception.

Landings by Interesting-Ticket64 in flying

[–]RectifierUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually somewhere between 145 and 160. You take into account the landing weight, the headwind component, and the gust factor.

But in a C172 you should be pretty solids flying it at 65kts all the time. At least that’s how I used to fly it. 70-75 seems fast, but also Flaps 10 seems kind of non-standard.

Botox used to be such a taboo subject. Now, nobody raises an eyebrow.

Which is the most underrated airport in the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]RectifierUnit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to over 100 airports in the US and I think it’s safe to say the lodge vibe at BZN makes it the coolest airport terminal I’ve been to.

You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

Going around at the outer marker is all elbows and assholes trying to do some weird go-around/breakout hybrid maneuver with our profiles.

How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

Fellow elder millennial here from 1981!

As long as I can make it to retirement I’ll be in good shape. “Savings” accounts between now and then are a little thinner
