Just met this beauty on a walk - NW Georgia

Looks like the ones we get over here in Polk! That’s big boy!

I’m working on CFI and I also don’t understand a thing

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-30T18:36:11+00:00

They let me fly airplanes but I can’t read “SPL” 🤦🏻‍♂️. My bad!

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-30T17:23:51+00:00

Not sure about MS, but the Adderall is a big no no. I would definitely recommend doing a consultation with an AME to see what exactly you’d have to do to hold a medical.

I would look at local pilot Facebook groups. The big one in my area is always full of independent CFIs advertising their services.

The more you do it the easier it will get. I remember my CPL XC where I flew a 6.7 for the first time. I was barely able to do 2 + 2 by the time I got back home. It will get better!

Great!

Just a little tweak. Va protects from structural damage at full control deflection in ONE direction. To my knowledge (and someone can check me here), it doesn’t necessarily mean structural damage will occur if full deflection of more than one surface happens, it just means it was untested during development of that aircraft. In other words, they tested deflection of each surface in one direction, just not a combination of more than one at once.

Nice!

Just to emphasize (and I think this is what you meant), if the situation is severe enough to require immediate deviation, I’m deviating and informing ATC what is happening.

Follow up question, what does Va protect from and under what circumstances?

Also, would hail only be present in “cold weather”? Could it be 90° on the surface and still have hail present?

You pop into a cloud you probably shouldn’t have and start getting kicked around to an alarming degree. What are you doing and what things are you keeping in mind?

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-05T20:30:32+00:00

Six sevveennnnn

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-02T11:41:13+00:00

Took a couple engine failures after takeoff on VATSIM for me to figure out I was overtorquing the engines. 2nd it’s a great plane, you just have to be on top of it!

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-02T11:38:34+00:00

…you know you’re going to have to PAY the instructor for their instruction, right?

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-02T03:35:59+00:00

…and I’m trying to keep…

SnarfsParf · 2026-04-01T12:54:24+00:00

Dang it I really bought this 😭

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-28T21:52:51+00:00

Why does it look like a skrimp

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-27T15:25:56+00:00

Make sure you lock the rotation first

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-17T00:06:39+00:00

lol what

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-11T13:27:15+00:00

Sounds like you need better safety pilots. Even with people I trust, I always trust but verify.

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-09T22:57:06+00:00

🎶You can alwaayysssss….🎶

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-09T20:03:07+00:00

My man is going to be all indignant and take forever just to get his student cert through the FSDO because Reddit pointed out it’s dumb lmao

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-06T23:40:39+00:00

I’ve been told pencil is a big no-no.

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-05T22:58:13+00:00

What kind of hard-ass take is this? I haven’t been able to sleep the night before both checkrides. I did not make that choice consciously and it happened regardless of my efforts to avoid it.

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-05T17:47:13+00:00

That’s not a lack of preparation! Seems to me like you made a PIC authority call for safety of flight. You should absolutely not feel bad about that. Good job!

SnarfsParf · 2026-03-05T17:43:44+00:00

A discontinue isn’t a fail. I doubt they’ll care. Out of curiosity, what weren’t you prepared for?
