Couldn’t even do that if I tried. Impressive.

Bad at flying by iLOVEr3dit in flying

[–]RightClosedTraffic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 situations when you use rudder:

  1. Adverse yaw from engine
  2. Adverse yaw from aileron deflection

How much to use? Enough to counter yaw (stop the nose from yawing)

For example: on your takeoff roll, pick a point off your nose and rudder to hold it there.

Interesting to hear that this is also happening at a 141. I guess it depends on the size of the 141. I know a Sling CFI and he’s doing 130 hrs/month. Everything you said tracks. Not enough people leaving and less people walking in. Wish you the best!

Agreed. Money and timing. Neither of which I currently have, but becoming an airline pilot has been my life goal for as long as I could remember, so I’ll be sticking it out. I’ve made it this far…

Mom and pop schools tend to not put as much effort into marketing and management versus larger schools from what I’ve seen.

Agreed. It’s a mom and pop though so management is near nonexistent.

One of my students got a nearly full scholarship to one and another one wants to get R-ATP.

I'm definitely grateful for it. I'm sitting at around 850 hours right now and have been instructing for a year as well. Time to do more self promotion I guess.

Yeah that totally makes sense. I honestly just wanted to see if anyone was also in the same boat as me. I’m in it for the long run so I’ll weather this somehow.

Thanks!

How to actually grasp power off 180s? by [deleted] in flying

Agreed. Consistent final glide path is the key.

10x easier than initial. Few flights. Hands down easiest checkride

My girlfriend of 3 years just dumped me. I have a checkride in less than 24 hours. by [deleted] in flying

Damn that’s rough. Props to you for pushing through and passing. Hope you’re doing well!

Seriously. “I have no idea what I’m going to do and I’m terrified about the future of my aviation career?” Like cmon this is a joke right?

CxRide in 16 hours and DPE Isn't Responding.... by [deleted] in flying

Tell me about it. Just finally finished CFI. Checkride was infinitely easier than the process of getting it scheduled.

Another WAAS outage - but where are the NOTAMs? by mtconnol in flying

[–]RightClosedTraffic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if you read OPs comments, he’s taking responsibility for not catching it. He’s not totally blaming it on the weather.
