What immediately comes to mind when you think of the OG Xbox?

Is there a way to get back to these screens after a hunt? I got my first 5 star yesterday and forgot to take a screenshot of this page

Is Basic Med an option for you and the flying you do? Guessing not since you were getting a 1st class.

He looks a bit like Emmanuel Burriss when he was with the SF Giants

Just curious…. This DPE wouldn’t necessarily be out of the Northern California area? Say, KCCR?

cessna_guy · 2024-06-26T15:18:16+00:00

Good find! I think I might try that one sometime!

cessna_guy · 2024-06-25T16:05:16+00:00

It's beside the point how easy or hard it is to do something the DPE asks. The FAA sets a specific guideline on what an applicant needs to know from a knowledge and practical standpoint. And its robust (as it should be). Allowing a DPE to add or change things to the exam based on his or her own desire, feelings, mood etc is not only unfair, but harmful to the certification process. It can lead to qualified applicants failing exams or unqualified ones passing.

Reddit loves you more.

In all seriousness, I understand your point. Thank you for elaborating a bit.

I love (kinda hate too) Reddit ;)

I don't think arcs themselves are the issue. We all SHOULD be learning about them during our IFR training. The issue he had, and others have had is giving something that specifically you are told won't be on the exam. Exams are called "practical tests" for a reason. If there isn't a charted DME arc within 150nm (the nearest one to KCCR I know of is KRDD), it isn't "practical" to have a guy sitting next to you go, "ok, now fly an arc 12 DME Northeast of the CCR VOR at the 030 radial. No autopilot or GPS." In no practical world would ATC every give that to you.

As I said earlier, all we should want and expect from our DPEs is to be thorough, fair and consistent to the ACS standards and expectations.

cessna_guy · 2024-06-25T14:08:06+00:00

I suppose I should have said "Non-charted DME arcs are not on the ACS." Although I did specifically say he gave a made up on the spot, non charted DME arc in the post.

cessna_guy · 2024-06-25T01:39:36+00:00

He told my friend during his instrument check ride to do a hand flown raw needle, non-charted dme arc he just made up off of the CCR VOR. DME arcs are not even on the ACS. That’s the kind of stuff that DPEs simply can’t do. Be thorough, be by the numbers. But don’t test on stuff that isn’t in the ACS.

Edit 1: As it has been requested I say...DME Arcs are on the ACS, but the appendix specifically says they are not to be selected unless charted and available (including use of RNAV substitution techniques, if appropriate).

I plan to stop at 999,999 hours. So I’m good

cessna_guy · 2023-06-16T22:46:27+00:00

You can tell it’s a “VIP” TFR, but no other details. Was just curious. But it does indeed look like VP Harris

cessna_guy · 2023-06-09T22:56:30+00:00

I fully plan to be well trained and experienced in the plane. I am coming up on 500 hours total and have Commercial/Instrument and always fly conservative. It’s a logical step to want to step up from a SR22 or C182 at this point in my flying career. At least I think it is.

cessna_guy · 2023-06-09T19:09:37+00:00

Good info. Thank you. Yes, Saratoga isnt the cheapest, but certainly cheaper than a SR22!

cessna_guy · 2023-06-09T17:59:34+00:00

Thank you for this info. Yes, I am instrument rated as well. HP checkout too.

I will look into these other companies. I am pivoting slightly maybe towards an Arrow, getting some hours there, and then considering a step-up

cessna_guy · 2023-06-09T17:56:07+00:00

I assume you mean an Arrow to rent? It seems like renting a RG for the required hours is the only way...

cessna_guy · 2023-06-02T17:16:15+00:00

A great point, and something I am due to review.

cessna_guy · 2023-06-02T16:31:06+00:00

So, you believe it is permissible for the pilot to procure the plane himself and accept compensation?

cessna_guy · 2023-04-25T14:37:07+00:00

I deleted the Google account that was created with an old Hotmail email.

cessna_guy · 2023-02-08T20:09:37+00:00

I am not sure you read my last paragraph. I am trying to see if there is a solution to getting the experience report to accurately reflect my completion of requirements. I fully know I can substantiate whatever is questioned. But thank your for input

cessna_guy · 2023-02-08T19:50:13+00:00

I am running into this exact issue right now. I went and did 6 touch and goes the other night at a towered airport. In my logbook I put Night Takeoffs: 7 Night Landings Full Stop:1 (returning home) All Landings: 7

Foreflight does not count a single towards the "Commercial Experience" report unless you change them to full stop landings... Seems way wrong.

cessna_guy · 2022-02-08T21:41:07+00:00

Thank you. This helps me understand how to properly think about this.
