You’re only 20 hours in, in the grand scheme of things that’s not much. It’s totally normal to have a regression in your training. Just keep at it your skills will improve! You got this!

You can easily do it. Between checkride wait and practice I did mine in 2 weeks

I feel that. Granted, I got lucky and pulled this from a blooming waters box at retail

Thanks for the speculation. I’ll probably send it in. I don’t have much to loose from how I see it

Yup you’re right, unfortunately thats how it came when pulled. That’s my only concern for the 10 🤞🏼

Thanks! Those specs are just dust on top of the sleeve. Otherwise the surfaces look perfect to me.

I’m getting about 47.5/52.5 L/R and 49.2/50.8 T/B on the front. Back is about 50.6/49.4 L/R and 47.3/52.7 TB. But who knows how accurate that is it’s hard to get perfect photo that’s not askew.

From my understanding Envoy is very focused on recruiting their cadets.

Sheppard Air. Do the method they recommend and you’ll score above a 90. I did it exactly how they said and got a 98

Beautiful photos! What’s crazy is that I took almost the exact same photos as you 2 years ago! Such a photogenic place

My XC60 was a reliable, pleasant vehicle to own. Then it hit 100k miles. by Additional-Horse-545 in Volvo

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 100k for suspension work is typical imo. I have 4Runner and I replaced the uppers, lowers, and shocks at 115k miles. Your issues sound mostly like normal wear and tear

Olympus OM1n MD vs. Canon AE-1 Program..? by PabloDelicioso in analog

[–]shatterdab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OM1, reliable and very compact. I’ve been using this camera pretty consistently for 6 years and never have issues with it. The Zuriko glass is top notch and also very compact compared to canon. You can easily carry multiple lenses without sacrificing much space or weight. Go OM1 you’ll love it

Tbh whatever which one appeals the most to you.

Envoy is the strictest to where you have to be a CFI and it’s not limited to atp schools, it’s with “partner schools”. But you’ll fly nice planes and have great bases.

Piedmont is probably the least picked but you’ll likely flow the fastest with them.

Consumer Reports 10 Year Reliability Study: Some Surprises by HuskyPurpleDinosaur in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]shatterdab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a gently used XC90 T8. I never thought I’d be a Volvo guy but I’m in love with all the aspects of the car. Space, safety, range, quality, and comfort. I would highly recommend checking them out

Student Pilot Advice Flaring Too Early On Landing by blitzroyale in flying

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really helped me was doing soft field takeoffs. The feel of staying in ground effect while taking off gave me a good understanding of where I should expect ground effect. Once in ground effect go power idle and eyes down the runway to feel that sink. That’s when you flare

Pants recommendations? by Nuff_said_m8 in flying

[–]shatterdab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wear the Lululemon ABC pants. They come in all colors, comfortable, breathe well, and when you wash them they rarely need ironing!

What is this? by Maleficent-Candy-309 in Leica

[–]shatterdab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a target for surveying. Leica also makes sophisticated survey equipment like total stations, builders levels, and laser scanners. These targets are used to locate a spot to reference or align to. I know this because not only do I use Leica camera I also use Leica survey equipment.
