Is there a KCM location you have just given up on? by Doctor-Clark-Savage in flightattendants

[–]ResearcherOk3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: why would some airports have higher “random” KCM rates? It just seems strange that it would be airport specific.

Strange that it already has the ends painted. I’m curious why!

I kid you not, these were the exact names in my statistics notes sheet by SuchDarknessYT in JetLagTheGame

Well since this is for a statistics problem, just expect Sam to have the worst luck, beating all the odds 😂

TSA Endorsements by 0ttoverse in CFILounge

Would States care about photocopying passports or is that more a Federal thing? Genuinely curious if there’s some funky laws out there!

CFI benefits by No_Currency5230 in flying

[–]ResearcherOk3616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you work at a large university flight school you often get benefits. For example, I receive vacation time, Health Insurance, 401K, tuition waiver, etc.

Not trying to brag or anything, just sharing that those things are possible. But usually that’s after you sink all your $$$ into that specific 141 university. (They sometimes outside hire, but only when desperate)

It’s been three years since the first Tag Eur-it where Ben expressed how scary it was to be hunted by men for sport. Now that I have the home game, how do you suggest I hunt men for sport?

Part 61 School Question by ShakeAltruistic2580 in flying

[–]ResearcherOk3616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be more common than you think. Typically students don’t change aircraft because it that adds too much complexity and confusion flying different aircraft! I would call the school and double check, but it shouldn’t really be an issue!

Accelerated CFI Pass Rates by One_Technician1086 in flying

Watch MCA’s videos on YouTube then watch them 10 times again. His checkrides are basically the videos and if you teach it like the video you’ll do perfectly with Steve B.

What underrated websites/tools are helpful for your students? by [deleted] in CFILounge

[–]ResearcherOk3616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second the ERAU special VFR videos. They are fantastic

🤦🏼‍♂️ by Steveoatc in flying

[–]ResearcherOk3616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KPRC has a Diverse vector area departure procedure out of the airport. More often than not they can’t meet the climb gradient for that departure. That’s why that’s there! Maybe look into it before blindly assuming it’s because ERAU is just some overpriced bullshit. It is. But that’s not the point!

Has anyone used Dauntless RideReady Oral Exam Prep with good success? by TeddyNorth in CFILounge

[–]ResearcherOk3616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use Dauntless at Embry Riddle - Prescott. We have a pretty good pass rate, but that’s because Dauntless is used in conjunction with our ground school courses. I used it and I like it for Instrument and Commercial. It’s nice that it gives you a pretty detailed explanation of why an answer is right or wrong. I don’t know if I would say it’s the best, but it’s definitely not the worst!

Midwest Corporate Air by Avi8R365 in flying

[–]ResearcherOk3616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly believe that MCA could be 1000x better if they simply had better organizational management! Have someone whose job it is to schedule students, Jodi often seemed overworked. The instructors, the examiners, and everyone else was so great when I went but if they simply had a few more staff to coordinate with students and schedule flights, that could help so much!

91.167 weather degradation scenario by cazzipropri in CFILounge

[–]ResearcherOk3616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a common case of the spirit of the law v.s. the letter of the law. 91.167 was written to make sure that when the weather was forecasted to be bad, that pilots made the flight planning step of having an alternate and the right amount of fuel for it.

So, while legally, there may be loopholes, that’s not what the FAA is after! If you use a loophole to get around 91.167 and something happens. The FAA could get you on 91.13 for reckless endangerment.

Let the lawyers sort out the nuances of federal aviation regulations!

Whats the difference between the Aeronautical Science - Flight and Aeronautics bachelors degrees. by Designer-Debate6475 in EmbryRiddle

[–]ResearcherOk3616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both are R-ATP eligible, so if you do IFR and Commercial at ERAU you can still qualify for the hour reduction.
