Captain Apollo posted:Mine goes something like this: Don't kill myself. Take a deep breath. When the gently caress am I going to get there, and does anybody else give a poo poo? I thought it was "check mah fuel? check mah weight? naaaaaaah gently caress it I'm going deep!"  Also, in continuing CAP chat: they just found a different plane (from MN, not the one w/ the girl who walked away) out here in WA state so I guess they're somewhat useful out here.  My interaction with them as a kid in my old hometown was similar to a few others in this thread - faux AF dudes tooting around in cessnas but never really letting the kids up with them.

I started commercial maneuvers today. Holy gently caress chandelles/lazy 8s are fun. It's nice to be able to 'relax' again after all that IFR flying

Ahhh, last time I drew up a flight on a VNC I was flying da-20s. Now that I fly c-172s i am completely lost! (Well, I mean, the chart portion was fine, it's the paperwork, like my power setting, projected speed etc.)

(Well, I mean, the chart portion was fine, it's the paperwork, like my power setting, projected speed etc.) To the POH you go! Out of curiosity, which do you prefer flying? I only ever flew the C-172, but I liked it because it seemed like the GA equivalent of an old F-150 -- reliable if not particularly fast, and roomy enough to take passengers and luggage no problem. I never flew a DA-20, but they always struck me as fairly tiny/cramped whenever I saw them. (p.s. please come back to the Canada thread, it's complete insanity in there without you to inject an ounce of reality)

PT6A posted:To the POH you go! Honestly, they are very different birds as far as I am finding. I mean, if it was just me loving around in upper airwork or circuits, the da-20 is complicated but nimble and a blast to fly. I'm a small guy, so it didn't feel as cramped. That being said, I like raw power of the 172, and I seem to better at flying it. I like them both (p.s. I did dip in earlier, and you know, the bullshit that came out, yeah, I think i'm gonna keep my distance a little longer at least) vvvvvBasically that.vvvvv bunnyofdoom fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jul 17, 2015 |

bunnyofdoom posted:I like raw power of the 172 This statement has literally never been said before in the history of the world. Fly it at Gross weight ad you will get a very different impression of its power. I preferred the DA20 over the 152 if you are comparing two seaters. Constant speed prop made more than made up for the difference in power. Stick > Yoke Edit: Rigged up a low budget Bluetooth audio system for my plane. Nice to get the alerts from Foreflight through the intercom. Heading to Oshkosh next week with a pair of freshly minted CPL's.

I really don't think most of the people on the board have done any real flying. Their up vote system makes them impossible to listen to other views compared to a board like this. I very much like MooneySpace.com, but BeechTalk.com is even better

gently caress. That. poo poo. Edit: I meant the 777 landing, but oddly, works for the FAA's estimation of their own TFR list's accuracy.

The Ferret King posted:Better get that verbal Flight Service briefing, OR ELSE! I'm not convinced that even a verbal FS briefing would save a pilot from FAA action when violating a TFR that popped up after the briefing. Or was missed by the briefer. Seems like the FAA thinks they must take action against all TFR violations regardless of circumstances, particularly presidential TFRs.

Yeah it probably would not. There is case law covering pilots failing to obtain information in their pre flight briefings when they briefed as recently as 20min before their flight. The FAA believes you should brief again just before the flight, then continuously throughout so as to always have the most up to date information. Obviously it's not practical and the FAA is being ridiculous.

The FAA is rapidly spiraling downhill and has been for several years now. I'm assuming it has something to do with all the budgetary tightening, but they are an incredibly obtuse and ineffective agency.
