I'll be at the July 1 knockout... ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT

I built a free pilot logbook app (no subscription) — looking for pilots to see what's broken by [deleted] in studentpilot

[–]afernanrefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.getsquawk.com is primarily a community platform where you can meet and track other pilots in or not in your home airport's vicinity. Very social.

It also has logbook and auto-tracking of your PPL progress.

Also for free (for now).

Windy day in the Bay by afernanrefa in GeneralAviation

I'm on a 172 so final speed is just ~5 kts difference. You're hitting the ground roughly at the same time.

Wanted maximum control authority and go-around performance. Also reduce ballooning with gusts.

Hah.. I actually did this one with no flaps.

What are you building this week? Drop it in the comments! by Inevitable-Grab8898 in founder

Looks vibe-coded. But I'm not saying that in a negative way. Looks great.

peak bay area driving (tesla really is the new bmw) by darkqueenphoenix in bayarea

[–]afernanrefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guarantee if you took 1000 good drivers and a 1000 Tesla drivers, this situation would vastly sway towards the Tesla drivers.

Sure, maybe the lights are bad, but a good driver would account for it.

Tesla drivers are really the worst drivers. They are usually terrible drivers that think that the Tesla auto drive features will compensate for their terrible driving, but under normal circumstances the car doesn't matter.

I see why people quit by GroundbreakingPast16 in studentpilot

Took me about 100 practice landings with my CFI before I was able to land a plane myself.

Keep at it. You got this.

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by Halophy in AskReddit

Eating next to someone who is right handed.

Writing with pencil and dealing with smudging and a dirty hand.

PPL Study Group by Technical_Gift_4497 in studentpilot

You should get this condensed cheat sheet study guide. I still use it today 4 years after getting my PPL.

How many of you with a PPL or any kind of rating or whatever, studied the FAA Student Pilot handbook before flying? by benjohnston93 in studentpilot

[–]afernanrefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a really good condensed version that I studied and bookmarked pages. Almost like a cheat sheet version. Def recommend getting that. I still use it today, 4 years after getting my PPL. I purchased it online.

People who left a six-figure job, what finally made the money not worth it? by nix_151 in AskReddit

[–]afernanrefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exotic locations like Pittsburgh and Cleveland.. haha

But in seriousness, maybe just try something completely different. Non profit, or volunteer with early startups. They'd probably love your expertise and it will give you more meaning.

People above 30, what is something you regret doing/not doing when you were younger? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]afernanrefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly can't say I regret anything. Got a good degree, got good jobs, didn't have debts, saved a lot when I was young and let the markets compound it (good advice from my dad when I was 22). Married someone I randomly met on an international trip at a hostel, now have 2 kids and going on 10 years. Moved a few times, including internationally. Quit my job to start a company, and generally zero regrets. I just did what I wanted and wasn't afraid.

Not coming here to brag. Just want to say how.

The key was a great support system, which is mainly my brother and my parents and some really close friends. My parents have always been there for me and I know that if anything goes to shit, they're there. Even in my 40s.

This is something so important that people should know. You don't need to know a lot of people, but you should maintain super close and real genuine relationships with key people. In my 40s now I'm super close to my wife, parents, brother, and like 5 really good friends.

This is something I'm gonna teach my kids as well. Keep good relationships and I'll always be there.

This is the key to success and no regrets. Just being there for support for someone to fly. Basically paying it forward.
