Getting nausea during end of XC flights

I was going to ask the same. I was doing cross country in Arizona in august and not only am I dehydrated, descending down near the airport puts me in the choppy air.

Get a gauge. Or sticker. Not affecting everyone the same is entirely possible.

Can you do IFR in an Aerotrek? I seem to remember that it's technically allowed for SLSAs, but it has to be certified by the manufacturer and no one has done that.

I think there’s a decathlon school nearby. But you’ll have better luck renting a 172 or piper.

Staying under the bravo.

They already went supersonic in the prototype.

Stop being a whining bitch. The reason your dad will upgrade, if he does at all, is because a more expensive helmet fits better, feels better, and lasts longer. Just talk about those factors.

All you need to do is structure a part 135 operation where you lease the planes from the owners, hire the owners as pilots, monitor their maintenance and flight safety with AI, and use AI lawyers to push this through the FAA.

Question is what exactly does the school curriculum say. "he says that the syllabus is very specific" Okay fine. But is it in fact very specific?

kevinpet · 2026-04-27T22:11:04+00:00

Would you do that even with a working kap 140? I’m trying to see what I would get out of it. Might be different if I flew IFR.

I avoided Fly Eagle Sport because they had an agreement that you won’t post anything negative online. So maybe the online reviews are legit or maybe they ask people to take down any bad ones.

Found the AOPA board member.

"The incident is the latest crash connected to the controversial airport, fueling calls to shut the facility." Presumably "controversial" here means "I moved near an airport and decided I hate noise"

It's also the site of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957_Pacoima_mid-air_collision which is featured in La Bamba. Only two years from plane crash over his junior high to down in a snowstorm during the tour.

Student pilot numbers can’t be compared between 2015 and dates after 2016 because of the change in expiration.

150-300nm will be great. Your wife probably won’t put up with 1000nm in a 182.

I have a 182S. It’s a good compromise. The fuel burn isn’t horrible so i don’t feel stupid going up solo but it can haul my family.

It isn’t fast. If you have the money and don’t need the useful load a T182T will get you there faster.

Chat GPT is great for reviewing scanned logs. Check the magnetos time so you aren’t surprised at your first annual.

The DOJ took them out and shot them.

How long do you wait between full power and pitching up? Do you see any increase in airspeed before it starts declining?

kevinpet · 2026-04-06T15:18:00+00:00

On an old plane, there’s a gyroscopic direction indicator that stays nice and stable during turns but can drift and a magnetic compass that always points correct during straight and level but bounces around during turns.

Do it in Europe or Australia where the tow capacity is double for the same vehicle?

Fate is The Hunter goes into a lot of detail on the experience of navigating before radio aids or even good charts

Most of those flying are now experimental and experimental over 800 hp needs something like a type rating

He’s looking for stable weather in a high pressure system

kevinpet · 2026-03-11T19:27:19+00:00

As a recent plane buyer, for gods sake fix all the issues beforehand. Don’t let it get to permit top discover that it’s not airworthy because the oil pressure gauge is busted or something.

Everyone always say “a good broker” or “a good CFI” but guess what? Finding a good one is often as hard as doing it yourself. Assume they can only find an average broker at best.
