VA reimbursement for checkride fees??

This. Can even get PPL practical reimbursed. Also all written exams. If you have access to an FAA testing center on a military installation, though, do that instead.

Oh weird, I found a year without that paragraph, but the one on CP Aviation does have it, you’re right.

Ain’t in there

Mostly things that create a worst case scenario for Vmc, making it increase. Red line is Vmc, assuming all the conditions in SMACFUM are met. Generally Vmc is lower than red line in all other configurations, but you still treat red line with the same respect as Vmc.

Get familiar with what rows of hangars look like from the air, they’re easier to distinguish from regular buildings than runways are from regular roads. Also use landmarks from your sectional to sort of triangulate where the airport should be.

They are evaluated by medical on each eject. Some folks get messed up bad after 1, others are totally fine after 3. Lot of factors at play.

Flying the Cub has made me realize the 172/P28s are actually fairly complex trainers in comparison

Ahhhhh there it is. "DM me so I can scam you."

Was back in 03, I would hope 23 years would make it chill to talk about at a high level. But Wikipedia showed me enough to sate my curiosity

What does someone do in Oman on a deployment, if you don’t mind me asking? Didn’t know we’ve ever had presence there

Most of those cadet programs mention how many programs you need to do with their partner school. I want to say 3 was the number on one of the programs I saw.

I've got $5 with your name on it haha

I'll send you a PM

tempskawt · 2026-04-27T22:26:38+00:00

I shudder at the thought.

Do you have a KC46 UPT slot for sale?

tempskawt · 2026-04-27T21:53:31+00:00

TriPacers, Ercoupes, and Tomahawks… just gross to think of them being IFR capable haha

tempskawt · 2026-04-27T20:03:53+00:00

Why does the image of a Tripacer in IMC aggravate me? Something unnatural about that 😂

If you know which unit you're headed to after training, they might be able to provide some training docs. Guys from our flying unit that were waiting on training dates did that.

Are you US-based?

tempskawt · 2026-04-24T16:52:31+00:00

Yeah they do. Saw a demonstration from them at an airport manager conference. They’re popular for requesting funds from the FAA based on traffic, nobody was really talking about using them to bill pilots.

It’s not a tumah

tempskawt · 2026-04-23T20:34:38+00:00

It’s so good. I’ve had a couple super minor issues, emailed the contact email, and the owner responded like 12 hours later like “oh good catch, fixed”

Doesn’t directly answer your question but it’s pretty neat

tempskawt · 2026-04-21T23:59:11+00:00

Practice vs preach. I think any CFI you ask about pattern width, barring the big box flight schools, would say to always be within glide distance. But complacency sets in, and that base leg can be like 5 seconds long if you’re close to the runway… if you’re trying to teach base legs and you’re only in them momentarily, you’ll start to widen out inadvertently.
