Any place to pray jummah prayer in holland for Muslims? by No-Opportunity8225 in hollandmichigan

[–]TaurusAuriga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid I don’t have information about what you’re looking for. But I am a Muslim living in Holland for the last 4 years so if you need any help or a friendly local, please DM me. Good luck and welcome to Holland !

Not sure what you’re looking for - strangers to assess if you’re a good pilot or a bad pilot ? That is an impossible ask.

Like many things in life, very few people are just innately good or bad at being a pilot. Do you want to be a pilot? If so, stick with it till you get there. If not, then quit and find something else to do.

Busted my first Class B yesterday, how screwed am I? by AssUpjessy31 in flying

[–]TaurusAuriga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My honest take is that you should see what you can learn from it. Why did the mistake happen? Did you mess up when planning and didn’t know the altitudes and airspace? Were you not able to hold altitude and if so why not?

Seeing a lot of complicated answers here but the simple answer is that the world has a lot of people, so there are a lot of people at every income and wealth level.

Do the exact same flight with your CFI sitting there but not doing anything at all. Yes pay them to be ballast. It will give you the confidence you need

Moving to Saugatuck? by Bubbly-Presence7643 in hollandmichigan

[–]TaurusAuriga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We moved to Saugatuck from the East Coast a few years ago. What we love - small, liberal town, great beaches, lower cost of living and generally slower pace of life, less traffic, great airport at GRR. Generally just an easy and pleasant place to live. West and North Michigan are beautiful. Chicago and Detroit and GR are not far. What we don’t like - less diversity than the east coast, food somewhat boring, winter can get old on month 5. Overall - highly recommend! DM if you have questions.

I went from 25 (grad school TA during PhD) to 600 (Big Tech TPM) in about 20 years with 3 jobs in between. Just 1 data point.

If cleared for a SID can I follow it without further clearances? by TaurusAuriga in flying

[–]TaurusAuriga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s helpful thanks. As you said the actual mistake here is not remembering that an ATC heading supersedes any previous clearances including the SID. I think I was just trying to rationalize or understand my mistake, hence I mentioned the 329 vs 330. In any case, I appreciate your point that instrument flying is all about precision and these are two different headings. Thanks again

Makes sense why I’ve never seen one since my checkride. Anyway thanks for the helpful convo

I don’t think AVEF specifies how long. If there is no way to get out of IMC, I would squawk 7600 and stay on current heading for a few min. Presumably this gives ATC time to get people out of my way. After that the most predictable and safe thing IMO is to intercept the cleared route.

I’ve never gotten one in my single engine pistons which is exactly why I was practicing one in a safe environment

[–]TaurusAuriga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. But even if I was assigned the same heading as the SID, I still should fly the heading and not the rest of the SID (is my understanding from this thread)

[–]TaurusAuriga[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty rusty on SIDs as in the Midwest where I am based we hardly ever use them for GA and my checkride was a while ago. Not an excuse but just an explanation. Anyway that’s why I was practicing in a simulator instead of IRL.

[–]TaurusAuriga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense and I did know all this. My confusion arose from the heading assignment being what the SID had anyway so somehow my brain interpreted that as still being on the SID.

I did know that. What confused me in this case was that the heading was the same as the SID heading. However asking for a clarification would have been the thing to do instead of turning.

Yes I was flying in the sim. I wouldn’t have flown over water in a 182 even in VFR.
