So you can sit for the exam, but you can't get the certificate until you've filed the paperwork?

Go fly with a friend (non cfi) and sit in the right seat. Do a cross country or something while this pilot flies the entire route.

You will immediately start to better understand your own flying, as well as being able to critique his flying.

It'll help you get over your own shortcoming by being able to see them in others. Maybe.

TAFs are done by a team of weather forecasters. When I moved from the South to the MidWest I was constantly amazed how terrible the TAFs were all of a sudden. Then I went to a NWS event and it turned out they had to hire 3 baby weathermen within 6 months.

Explained that!

One time I was going to miss a commercial flight so I showed my commercial pilots license and was taken quickly through security.

With a constant speed feathering prop in a light twin:


If you lose oil pressure in the engine, will the prop feather regardless of where the prop lever resides?
