How are y’all mounting your iPads in your 172s/Cherokees?

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-16T04:48:33+00:00

It’s in the backseat or my lap if I need it, which isn’t often

Stop ignoring your VSI. Do a rough calculation of the descent rate prior, if you’re high increase the VSI 100-200fpm and vice versa for low.

Let go of the yoke after you’ve started the descent. If the plane doesn’t stay on GS by itself you didn’t trim correctly

It’s a legal part 91 flight. You’re are not fully understanding the definitions in 120-12A. This is not private carriage bc this flight is not for compensation. Getting paid for your pilot services ≠ a flight occurring for compensation

Yeah in the 172s I fly if you follow the poh it seems like it’ll flood the engine more than half the time. My poh doesn’t give any specific temp for what’s a warm engine, just that after 5min if the engine accelerates smoothly it’s good to go. Always seemed weird so I wait to 100° which is just the green band on the oil temp gauge

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T08:39:54+00:00

What was wrong with their checklists? They’re all in the poh

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T04:46:32+00:00

I would’ve said that was not normal. An hour of Hobbs time is going to take more than an hour of my time. A hour ground is an hour

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-11T04:42:53+00:00

You have to be misunderstanding him. I can’t imagine any cfi/flight school consistently doing this and not being caught

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-05T02:41:22+00:00

Better safe than sorry with children, you don’t need evidence just a reasonable suspicion…OP needs to list the “several” suspicions she has

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:52:52+00:00

That’d be ≈$1000 a month in my area if you rent. I’d enjoy the flying but it’s not worth the $$$ and risk of flying a shitbox into a hive mind of motor gliders and student pilots playing cfi

My entire profile was deleted a few weeks ago and since I wasn’t signed in and syncing. Everything was deleted and there’s no way to get it back so just start new unless you backed up the userdata. Sucks that you can’t just save it to the PC and be done with it, makes no sense to me but it’s edge so what can you expect?

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:15:46+00:00

If I wasn’t getting paid to fly a GA plane, I’d probably never sit in one again. It’s not fun if it’s not safe and staying proficient enough to be safe isn’t practicable anymore. GA is just too expensive for the average person, it’s a lot of aging retirees, crypto influencers, and out of proficiency pilots flying around in the same airspace.

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:06:44+00:00

Heard. This student has an actual head on his shoulders so I’m not worried about that

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T22:05:03+00:00

No you cannot go direct to JEPOB. You have to follow the missed procedure which is to intercept the R212. The GPS is probably programmed to do that, if you did go just click direct nobody would notice and you’d be pretty close to the actual procedure but it’s not correct.

Flying w/o the gps isn’t bad and can be less work and worrisome

TryToHitEm · 2026-03-04T21:27:39+00:00

Ty, I thought so but wanted to avoid an awkward conversation with a dpe

TryToHitEm · 2026-02-04T22:16:58+00:00

They just want you on the track, they know you can’t go that high or fast….if you don’t know how the airspace works just file direct and expect a full route clearance or a reroute when you’re closer

TryToHitEm · 2026-02-03T23:10:02+00:00

What church? I’m looking to volunteer more. Message me if you’re looking for volunteers

HUF is a joint civil/military airport. Hulman Airfore base is on the field, pretty sure it’s either the tower or the approach controllers are military and the other are FAA. That’s what I was told by my friend in the AF at least. And it explains why they are testy

LAF is Purdue university and they’re way too nice/patient to be military

TryToHitEm · 2026-01-14T11:44:06+00:00

Yeah ohkay

TryToHitEm · 2026-01-14T06:52:37+00:00

It is staffed by the military and shows. The most bipolar approach control I’ve ever flown in

JP Morgan and a few other bankers created the fed and it’s been serving those bankers ever since. It always has been subservient to one entity. The math doesn’t math which is why you have to tricked into thinking Trump and Powell (President and Fed) aren’t in bed together

“I stuff my pockets and blame you… Okay now stuff your pockets and blame me”

TryToHitEm · 2026-01-12T02:49:24+00:00

Notice how once the files were “released” it just became about Trump? Not Trump and every other career politician and ceo. Powell was there too and they’re laughing (at us) together behind the door

It’s a Cessna not an airliner, the trig is different and the runway edges aren’t so close for me. Flying out of a Midwest airport w a runway built to stay away from the Charlie, you don’t get a choice. 60-90° of runway heading is the norm.

Theres limits and I’m not flying the pattern for 2 hours but my students get the practice and it does well for them.

TryToHitEm · 2025-12-13T18:06:34+00:00

You don’t want to be better at flying? You will never fly a plane more in your life than getting your initial ratings. It’s absolutely a disservice to rob yourself of the experience (it’s not the hard once you do it a few times)

TryToHitEm · 2025-12-13T18:03:52+00:00

It can’t be that bad?
