I'm glad that takeoffs equals landings in your logbook entry. Nicely done.

A lot swear by these. They're not ANR, but if you're flying in loud things without AC these are nice and light: https://www.quiettechnologies.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=1uco8cfl38rj0idkhipfh7p0i3 I love my Lighspeed Sierras (the slightly less feature-full version of the Zulus). They're slightly over your budget, but if you want ANR, I think these are the right way to go. Also Lightspeed's customer service is fantastic. http://www.amazon.com/Lightspeed-SIERRA-ANR-Aviation-Headset/dp/B003VSARXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418598731&sr=8-1 Prepare for a lot of religious arguments.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say they were equipped to do the RNAV approach as well (which has lower minimums). That weather still sucks. That last two being below minimums for both approaches I believe.

I wonder what percentage of all scheduled carrier fleet aircraft in North America don't have GPS these days. Even though the LPV approach was still below minimums I think.

Interesting, they corrected it to say millions but then changed it back to say thousands. Who knows... At least the reporter in the video is an actual pilot.

3rd class which this would eliminate is around $85. The reason for getting rid of it is not the cost its that it's stupid. There's no proof that it improves safety.

bunnyofdoom posted:My training is extend to 20 right before turn to base, 30 on base, full right after turn to final Your training is just a guideline. You should practice landing at all flap settings (including none) and adjust based on wind speed. The higher the winds, the less flaps you should use.

Definitely not. That's why people get lovely flying jobs after their training.

vessbot posted:I never understood the answer memorization thing. It seems like as much effort as just learning the material. It's not though. If you do enough practice tests (and you should do practice tests regardless of whether you want to learn everything or not) you will immediately recognize the question/answer pair as you go through the writtens. It is dumb. I think they're changing out a bunch of questions and enlarging the question bank next month though. At least for some tests. Disclaimer: FAA

Pilotedge also has a free client you can download to listen to all of their traffic. The controllers are very professional. I think they're even paid to do what they're doing. They are very very close to the real thing.

In Phoenix, the controllers seem perfectly content with: "Phoenix approach, N12AB, vfr request" or even "Phoenix approach, N12AB" then they want everything "N12AB, Phoenix approach, go ahead" (or standby if they're busy) "Phoenix approach, N12AB, over thunderbird lake, 3500, vfr flight following to prescott (or identifier if its less common) at 8500" Then for completeness. "N12AB, Phoenix approach, roger, squawk 1234 (ident optional)" "N12AB, Phoenix approach radar contact over thunderbird lake <further instructions to get you across the bravo>" I guess my point is that what a controller wants can vary from locale to locale or even controller to controller. Just get experience in your area and listen to what other pilots say on average. There will obviously be folks who talk too much and talk too little. There's no replacement for experience. If you want I'm sure the controller would appreciate in most cases if you told them that you're a solo student pilot so they at least have some expectations until you're more comfortable.

simble posted:I have my 2nd BFR coming up on Sunday. I can't believe it's already been 4 years since I got my PPL. Flying owns. Especially when your wife's grandma who we visit frequently lives 115 miles away. BFR taken care of. Good for cloud hole punching for 2 more years. This was a good one. It never fails that on a BFR everything happens differently and tries to throw you off. For example, I've been flying out of P19 in Chandler, AZ for the last 2.5 years, but not once have I had to take off to the north. It's 17/35 and the winds are either calm (I fly a lot in the morning), or they're a direct crosswind and in those situations you always take off on 17. Really threw me off my game, but everything else went smoothly. I had yet to actually stall the 182 (lots of stalls in a 172), and the nose is a lot heavier in the 182 (obviously) and it breaks a lot harder. Then the instructor asked me to do a short field takeoff. My brain froze at the hold short line, but then somehow I managed to find the file in my brain with the rote memorization from my PPL training. All available runway, flaps 10, full power, release brakes, Vx climb out. All in all, super fun. I should go up with instructors more often. I get a bit nervous, but I always come away learning something. What I really need to do is start saving for my IFR and get on it.

The PA-28-180 (Cherokee) and PA-28-235 (Dakota) make up my short list of airplanes I'm looking to buy right now. The problem is that I _know_ I can afford the 180 and I'm only "pretty sure" I can afford a 235. A total brain vs heart decision and heart is currently winning.
