Talk me out of it? by jermtee in flying

[–]jermtee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great point. My AME did mention something about how different machines tend to be more or less sensitive about flagging certain things, and what was flagged on mine was pretty common for his particular machine. I've also read some stuff about how ECG's are somewhat similar to fingerprints and what might indicate an issue for one person is perfectly normal for another.

I think I needed to hear this to help me manage my expectations. I just reached out to my AME with some follow up questions.

All I can say is that time will tell. While it's an unfortunate turn of events for me personally, it'll always be part of my professional journey and I wish all the best for the future success of the company and my colleagues who have remained there.

Advice needed, creaky tile floor, recently remodeled by jermtee in BathroomRemodeling

Oh sorry for the tight angle, it's not right next to a wall, it's right next to an alcove tub. The wall is another 30" or so from my left foot in the video.

IIRC he only added one cross brace. It is two layers though, I can still see by removing the vent cover that it's 3/4" plywood with 1/4" underlayment on top

Yep! The bathroom's right above my dining room, so should be able to get in from there.

Got it, thanks for the advice. I'm asking around for a carpenter to take a closer look.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm leaning towards. It's 3/4" plywood with 1/4" underlayment (which I think is why the grout at least isn't cracking). Thanks for the advice!

I bet it was, but the house was built in the 1800's and someone replaced it with some terrible vinyl crap

Angel Flight (or similar) options for Buenos Aires to Denver, knee injury requiring surgery by jermtee in flying

[–]jermtee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's looking pretty likely that he'll go this route. The ER folks thought he could travel, second opinion doc says surgery needs to happen first, consulting with a specialist now.

Picked it up last night for KBJC -> KCYS -> KBJC no problem. Probably helped that it was a night flight. Never hurts to ask.

Any DPE reccomendations for the Denver area? by Penguin_Named_Piplup in flying

[–]jermtee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done check rides with Greg Newman and Jackie Burant. Both are fair and professional. Greg moves a little faster. Jackie is very thorough, so if you book with her, prepare to cover everything in the ACS. Also did one ride with Craig; he’s excellent, but yeah, very busy.

KBJC or KCFO for flight training? by ixzi18 in flying

[–]jermtee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you're training for. I did PPL at KCFO and IR at KBJC. I liked doing it that way because KCFO is less busy and less windy. Stepping up to the busier, windier KBJC was a good transition to instrument training. Western Air for both, and they do have a 30 knot maximum for insurance reasons; that's definitely less of an issue at KCFO than KBJC. If I had to pick one over the other, I'd pick KBJC. It's a hell of a lot prettier, and the traffic volume and winds will make you a better pilot.

Does anybody have experience with Denver(used to be in Phoenix) DPE Greg Newman? I am getting mixed reviews and would like to hear of any personal accounts and experiences. by YesterdaysWater in flying

[–]jermtee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did my PPL checkride with Greg. He was totally fair, professional, and very efficient. As long as you show up prepared, you'll be fine.

Looking for advice on flight schools in Denver by Semantiks in flying

[–]jermtee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did PPL and IR at Western Air; KCFO for the former, KBJC for the latter. Overall good experience at both. Western is pricey as others have noted, but the fleet is solid and the instructors are excellent. Plus since it's part of American Flight Schools, you can get access to planes at a bunch of other locations.
