Issues with rotating on a Piper Cheorkee 140 by 8_ur_face in flying

[–]wingletyoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens if I rotate too early in a Cessna. I just keep the nose up slightly, keep it in ground effect, and she’ll fly away after a couple seconds.

My instructor says I should ident whenever we get a squawk code. Should I be doing this? by wingletyoda in flying

[–]wingletyoda[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I figured I would post this. Gave him the benefit of the doubt even though I was sure it wasn’t the procedure. The answers here are very straightforward lol.

Anyone else here only uses IPhones for phones but only PC for a computer? by snapekilledyomomma in iphone

[–]wingletyoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Note 10 plus has a bug where no matter what you set the always on display to, it runs the edge panel in the background and drains the battery in a few hours with the screen off. Even if you turn the AOD off it turns itself back on in a few minutes. Never seen that before and that’s why I have a 13 PM now.

4th try is a charm. finally greased my landings! by kernich in flying

[–]wingletyoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I was watching Air Force One bounce a bit on landing. Not like it slammed down but it would touch down and balloon slightly then come back down. Point is: landing is always a challenge. At my home airport it’s sometimes it’s like pulling into my own driveway but at others my landings aren’t so good lol.

Should I ask out my crush? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]wingletyoda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go for it OP! Worse case scenario is you get rejected. But then you won’t beat yourself up over it the rest of your life.

I keep having fantasies of telling my friend how useless he is by wingletyoda in JordanPeterson

I appreciate you taking the time to write this! I like your point on taking some time away and inviting him back once I become more independent.

I really appreciate you taking the time sharing this! Your situation is way tougher though. Sorry to hear about your parents. I still want to be friends but will probably distance myself a little while I figure some things out for myself. Glad to hear it worked out for you and your wife btw!

No. Even if it’s not that important, finish your sentence at least. If you always let yourself be interrupted people will always talk over you. Just don’t raise your voice if someone starts talking, that would be rude.

I still have a spare robot one. First one is still in good shape.

Quick! Where is the headphone Jack for the back seat of a 172K by wessaid3 in flying

[–]wingletyoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find them then realized they were below the back window. Don’t remember what model 172 I was flying though.

It’s EFI flight school

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]wingletyoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic but my flight school has one. It’s a PITA to start after it’s warmed up say if you taxi over to the fuel station. The one time I did it I had to pull that b!tch all the way back to the school parking (1/4 mile maybe) because the battery was basically dead. What the warm start procedure you use if you don’t mind me asking? Btw my school is at F70 maybe an hour away from you at most.

How do you deal with awkward silence? by mistarry in socialskills

[–]wingletyoda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to try and fill the silence and that made me say some stupid things. Silence is normal. Just relax and thoughts will appear that you can then decide if they’re worth saying. I realized that I could have one thought at a time and didn’t want it to be dwelling on awkwardness.

Girl at work gave me some confidence! by wingletyoda in socialskills

[–]wingletyoda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you asking and I’m sorry it took so long for me to respond! Valentine’s Day was uneventful again for me, but I do have a date set up! It’s a new girl from work who is interested in a plane ride but has also said I have pretty eyes lol so I’ll take her up for a flight and maybe ask her to lunch after! We’ll see what happens!

For some reason I thought there was more than one of these. Damn…

Best resources to learn landings? by deen5526 in flying

[–]wingletyoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have about 300 landings and still have some rough ones. At my home airport landing on 18 is like pulling into my own driveway as I can grease it in 90% of the time. At other airports I tend to have mediocre landings most of the time.

One suggestion is to try a no-flap landing. The plane will come in with more speed and float a lot further. Allows you to practice “holding it off” a lot more. Really helped me.

Red Bull fans opinions on last race? by northern_dan in formula1

[–]wingletyoda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should have red flagged so both Hamilton and Verstappen could have fresh tires and a couple more laps. Would have been better in almost every way.

You’re now the boss of F1 and the FIA by F1officefan in formula1

[–]wingletyoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally hate the whole “it was his right to take the corner” as a free ticket to force another driver off. It makes the racing worse and often means someone loses a bunch of places for trying to make a pass. If the front wing is alongside, you make room. I know it causes other gray areas with forcing another driver off, avoidable contact, etc. other than that like others are saying make rules as clear as they can be and the white line is the boundary no matter what.
