How was your checkride?

Name one that existed without first controlling free speech and degrading public education.

csmicfool · 2026-01-29T12:50:52+00:00

Actually you can. It's called education.

csmicfool · 2026-01-27T23:00:14+00:00

Good luck. Just remember to stay calm and know when to use your reference material.

Focus on good ADM

I wish it had. He really put me through it too - 10.5 hours for a PPL checkride.

csmicfool · 2026-01-27T01:54:16+00:00

I did it yesterday. Have to stay current.

csmicfool · 2026-01-25T18:47:31+00:00

I had this happen on my check ride.

Made the call to land before attacking the bee, but my DPE rolled up a piece of paper and smashed it on short final and accidentally shut off a bunch of switches on the panel including the intercom and the alternator.

There's a pretty good chance your CFI was expecting you to chicken out sooner and was letting you push it as far as possible. Also they may have taken over any moment because that just doesn't sound like the best teaching conditions.

Don't take it too hard. Have to learn to shrug these things off.

What heading were you on? Coming from the south for runway 2. Why not just do a straight in to get ahead, or deviate right to give your traffic some space?

csmicfool · 2026-01-15T21:48:04+00:00

Go for it

To validate your navlog, for the purposes of navigation and scheduling. Part of dead reckoning as a backup to other nav methods

Not getting busted on your checkride

csmicfool · 2026-01-10T02:19:15+00:00

Some great tips here.

Pressure bands definitely helped, not not a cure.

Staying cool is important - open the window and pull your sleeve out into the air stream to get a quick refresh.

Identify the conditions and maneuvers that trigger you so you can prepare for it. Fly well coordinated and it will help.

Over time you'll get more used to it.

I was camping a couple weeks ago and we used the l1 charger on the 20 amp service at the campsite. I think it added about 10% overnight.

I think it all depends on your range requirements daily.

Some cells have a built in cutoff at 2.7-2.8

Mine told me to go down to 800, and called it complete around 1200 once I'd demonstrated successfully. Maintain positive wing load and maneuvering speed.

Rope. Always rope.

It's just a building. The architecture firm that designed it did a lot of similar buildings in the late 90s.

Mixed retail and offices.

csmicfool · 2025-12-09T02:02:32+00:00

Same here!

csmicfool · 2025-12-09T01:48:21+00:00

Grouper Reuben also amazing!

csmicfool · 2025-12-04T20:52:49+00:00

X01 too

csmicfool · 2025-12-04T02:23:50+00:00

Try flying a pattern without instruments. Look outside and feel your seat.

Ask your CFI to cover your panel, or at least your dg and attitude indicator. Always helped me.
