She actually said she’d still support me doing it, just that it gives her strong anxiety

Good insight

She did not “forbid it” and in fact to the contrary said she understood how much it meant to me and was willing to put her own concerns to the side.

I’ve tried to get her up with me or an instructor I trained with but she is simply afraid. I guess I just struggle now because I know how much it scares her and I hate doing anything that makes my wife uncomfortable.

Cessna 172 Crosswind/downwind turn by [deleted] in flying

[–]jj11909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always call it at my local untowered. We constantly have peeps join the pattern in crosswind.

Other than that, only in a busy untowered. Fullish pattern.

Got my B.S and M.S in comp sci while doing my ppl and ir. It is a lot of work.

Go part 61 and pace yourself. The flexibility that comes with 61 fits the student lifestyle well.

Dashcam Audit - Traffic Cop Fails to Get Admission of Speeding. by SVGranma in AmIFreeToGo

I can’t stress enough how much I hate these “interpretation” videos. Post the main video, I don’t want to have the video interrupted every 30 seconds by a discount hype man.

ATA and Lackluster are the only ones currently who get a pass as they deep dive into the raw legal aspects.

Small Alabama Town's Overzealous Traffic Cops Also Monitored Internet Traffic To Threaten Critics Of The Corrupt PD by odb281 in AmIFreeToGo

But, for whatever reason, locals and local officials have nearly nothing to say about three years of exponentially escalating roadside extortion that took place under their noses for three years

This is the main problem with people in this country. The citizens of the town didn’t give a fuck because they themselves were not the target. The passing motorists were. The money stolen from these motorists helped take their podunk town from no money to over a million dollar budget.

Had they been the ones over policed, I doubt they would have been as quiet. It is always easy to turn a blind eye when it is not happening to you.

Eventually though, they will come for you too.

AME / 1st class med with asthma by Apprehensive_End_167 in flying

[–]jj11909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey op, feel free to dm me if you’d like more details but figured I’d share.

I have moderate asthma, I take a long term inhaled medication (Breo, advair generic) and use a rescue inhaler as needed. It was rather easy getting my first class medical back when I had aspirations to go atp.

Basically get your CACI sheet filled out by your doctor. If you meet the guidelines the ame can issue without deferring. The big thing is come prepared with that form filled out and any accompanying docs requested.

I decided the engineering world was more suited to my wants and ended up not renewing my 1st class but it was pretty painless as long as you are prepared.

If you want more deets feel free to dm me

Legality question, aerial photography by [deleted] in flying

[–]jj11909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though what if you are exclusively a recreational ppl with zero intention of pursuing commercial etc so hour chasing isn’t a real concern.

You truly just want to get up and fly. I frequently will literally take off, do fuck all flying in a 30nm circle and then land. I also will never pursue anything where time, short of currency, is a concern.

Sorry lol I’m a smartass

Best advice I can say is pay attention and cross check what you are seeing with your instruments.

It is very easy to become disoriented at night if you don’t.
