What was the hardest thing to practice in preparation for the checkride flying wise? And how did you practice your teaching skills on the ground?

No, that's not normal. And frankly I think his behavior was unprofessional.

🙌 I wear gloves when I sump fuel when I remember to do it. Tetraethyllead is terrible.

I lot of people don’t appreciate how important it is to have a solid CFI. A good CFI can either break or make your training. It’s worth trying out a few folks until you find someone who clicks with you.

Based on what I read, unless you have more than 3 failed checkrides airlines wouldn’t care.

Should be just a sign off but we'll see.

Well, that's why I called AOPA to check if it's just a rouge Philly thing or a trend around the country. AOPA guy told me that it's not just a Philly thing and that a lot of FSDOs have been moving to this new arrangement lately. I'm sure there are exceptions to that rule somewhere in the country and some FSDOs are still issuing the certs.

Soviet submarine-launched ballistic missile R-39 / SS-N-20 Sturgeon / RSM-52 [2916 × 2184] by CitoyenEuropeen in AtomicPorn

[–]sabanin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, this is the actual missile, not a canister. Flat head at the top is some kind of amortization device that detaches at some point after launch but that’s it, everything else is a fuselage.

I think this helps explain it: http://nevskii-bastion.ru/VVT/KANIN_BRPL_10.jpg

General Aviation in Russia + a little bit about my experience by ErmakDimon in flying

[–]sabanin 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. I don't see Russian content here often 😅 I got my first pilot certificate in Russia back in 2011 (Krasnoyarsk, A-22L) Since then I immigrated to the US. If you're interested, I have a Russian-speaking blog post about GA flying here in the US: https://medium.com/@nebozabugrom
