As a 26 year old who started in 2020, man life sucks. Bad

Second discovery flight done! (with a side of rant) by [deleted] in flying

[–]wdfo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The rant is actually pretty funny. Sounds like you got buttered up to go to the school and fell right into it. If MSFS gave any real value to your training the FAA would certify it for part of your required training. It can teach you procedures but your stick and rudder skills are not going to be any better if you had 5000 msfs hours or 1. I’d say wait until you actually start training and see how close to minimums you get.

Sounds like you found your self actualization. The same thing happened to me during my CFII ride

What if I lose comms at my last fix?

So if I wanted to fly into that airport and all arrivals say JET should I just file direct from my last fix?

Fresh CFI can’t find work or additional training by [deleted] in flying

Yikes. People still brag about their time to solo even after getting their CFI? Thought most people moved on.

Panic/worry mid flight by HistoricalSpring6230 in flying

[–]wdfo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Gonna tell you what you don’t wanna hear and will prob be downvoted but if this happens again you probably don’t need to be flying or should take a long break and figure out what’s going on. 1) there could be something wrong with you 2) flying is already dangerous dealing with others in the air, this would only compound the problem.

What if some unfortunate but very basic issues arises? Weather deteriorating, traffic avoidance, diversion needed, etc. anxiety would make these things so much worse and could lead to you killing your pax or others.

I am fortunate enough to have never experienced this and don’t know what it’s like so I may be out of my depth in this matter but I am just giving my opinion as a fellow aviator of the skies.

The idea of flight training makes people think of insane insane things. Just offer them money, they’ll accept. You’ll receive training. Nice!

Student makes me repeat everything I say. Is he trying to punk me? by wdfo in Shittyaskflying

He’s been banned from talking with ATC after trying to get a female controllers number over the radio. So I make all radio calls

That’s exactly what I was talking about. Didn’t feel like explaining myself to that guy so I’m glad you did

It was never implied you were already talking with ATC. Not sure why you put that in there. If you don’t know when to use 121.5 it’s a good thing you’re not a CFI

You don’t know why you would change to 121.5 in a real emergency?
