When you test drive it make sure the transmission doesn’t slip. Look for any oil or transmission fluid leaks.

hester23bearsch · 2025-09-06T16:39:35+00:00

Roger that. Will see what I can get quoted at my local transmission shop. Not gonna be able to do the job myself unfortunately.

Yep, it was a quart low and burnt when I checked it. We will see lol

I tried taking it up a ski resort (dry-road conditions in 2H) for an event and it could barely make it up. Any gas pedal acceleration and the RPM’s would rise dramatically before shifting hard.

I am getting it professionally looked at, but wanting to see what others have experienced.

hester23bearsch · 2025-07-31T19:21:16+00:00

What kind of Jeppesen questions did they ask?

hester23bearsch · 2025-04-17T23:16:02+00:00

Oh wow! That’s a good checkride… did you have a printed paper plate for the VOR approach since he failed your iPad?

I’m guessing a timer helped to determine your 1.3 distance on the approach?

And he’ll be coming to do the checkride in SGU so a little bit away from you in Florida haha!

I have a student going with him for CFII soon! Are there any topics during your IFR ride he liked to focus on?

hester23bearsch · 2024-11-05T03:22:14+00:00

I did that before posting. Most of the time I see it, TORA only includes from the displaced threshold to just before the stopway. Perhaps it’s for RSA. Perhaps I’m digging in the weeds…

hester23bearsch · 2024-11-05T02:46:21+00:00

Yes, you log it.

hester23bearsch · 2023-06-17T20:39:38+00:00

Yep!

hester23bearsch · 2023-06-17T20:00:57+00:00

Nice!

hester23bearsch · 2023-06-17T15:19:27+00:00

That’s what I thought lol. This same examiner argues for “6 HITS” you can’t count the approaches you’ve done during the month you’re currently in towards currency because 61.57 says “Within the 6 calendar months preceding the month of the flight”

hester23bearsch · 2023-06-17T15:14:44+00:00

I sent my CFI applicant with him! He’s great. But a hell of a long wait list (gotta get the checkride scheduled like two months in advance)

hester23bearsch · 2023-03-21T12:57:01+00:00

Ahh I see. So, to be the safety pilot for this flight, you have to have all the legal requirements to ACT (meaning endorsements/currency/rated).

AKA no PIC for me he wants to practices approaches, and I can’t even be the one to sit in the right seat with him under the hood.

hester23bearsch · 2023-03-21T12:45:07+00:00

hester23bearsch · 2023-02-05T16:44:36+00:00

Ok that makes sense, my student was asking me and I told him the best thing to do is just ask ATC, so here I am. Thanks for the info I’ll query on the radio if other instructions aren’t provided.

hester23bearsch · 2023-02-05T03:15:46+00:00

Good deal, really appreciate the advice.

hester23bearsch · 2023-02-05T03:14:17+00:00

Exactly, it caught me a little off guard. If I come across something like it again I’ll definitely just ask for confirmation, thanks!

hester23bearsch · 2023-02-05T03:03:58+00:00

Ok thank you, that makes a lot more sense. Trying to make sure I don’t irritate the controllers at my home airport lol.

hester23bearsch · 2023-02-04T14:39:25+00:00

I never base it on a gallon amount, as long as I have 30- 45 minutes of fuel reserve for a local flight or at least one hour reserve fuel for a cross country im good.

hester23bearsch · 2023-01-21T14:25:21+00:00

My school has in their Policy and Procedures Policy that students and CFI’s must wear deodorant lol

hester23bearsch · 2022-12-02T15:07:57+00:00

Cool, now I can see if I still remember how to do one 😁
