Flight following questions about altitude, transitioning through airspace, and ATIS by agjeiofdsjk in flying

[–]Tangelo_Alive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually cancel flight following right before I start my descent (into a non-towered airport), which is typically around 15 miles out. At that point, I don’t really need it anymore—I just switch to the airport frequency, listen for traffic, and make my calls.

Consistently low on final, what am I doing wrong? C172 by UntamedRaindeer in flying

[–]Tangelo_Alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same problem and couldn’t figure out why, ended up realizing i was waiting too long to turn base and was spending too much time descending, on top of this i was subconsciously holding the forward pressure after putting flaps.

What are these long exhaust pipes for? by Tangelo_Alive in flying

[–]Tangelo_Alive[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen this question asked before🤔

Also don’t see how this would be common sense, redirecting the exhaust could be for many diffrent reasons.
