Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸

I’m not a flight instructor - just a Private Pilot working hard to fly like a professional..and taking lots of notes along the way! These are my flight notes!🚀

iPad flying tip of the day: Make sure you still remember how to fly an airplane without it. 🛩

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

After a few more hours of flying small airplanes, I’m convinced that the true measure of airmanship is how quickly and safely you can land at a suitable airport after a passenger says “I need to go to the bathroom” while at cruise (especially in IMC).

@JBalloonist @jasonrosewell Just taking a bit of a break…. I’ll be back posting nonsense about flying again eventually! 🛩🛩🛩

@juphoff Beautiful Mooney — enjoy!

@HeatherMcNevin Spend an hour or so with a trusted CFI who will put you through the paces and keep you safe. Enjoy! 🛩

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

Cool.

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@MizzCrazyDaisy @Sportys Of course, neither of these are low cost - but I think worth it to protect your ears if you’re going to be doing a lot of flying!

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@MizzCrazyDaisy If I remember correctly, @Sportys lets you try out a headset for something like 30 days - so that might help find one resolves the problem. IMHO Lightspeed Zulu is the best noise reduction and Bose A20 does the least head squeezing.

Flying IFR is great, but sometimes it’s all about the views.

@boomsupersonic Wow - those are some really beautiful pedals!

@chrisclarkefly Those older 172s have more space under the cowling than I remember…

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@juphoff Very nice! I’ve always liked the baby airliner look of those panels. 👍

@HelicopterDPE @ForeFlight When do you make the post-it?

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

IFR pilots, what’s your favorite trick for making sure you’re not scrolling around to double-check the DA/MDA when your attention should be on the CDI and glideslope? @ForeFlight annotations on the plate? Sticky notes on the panel?

@gol3tron @chrisclarkefly METARs from Neptune

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@gevmage @jcarlsonma Full-scale VOR deflection is 12 degrees, so if you have a CDI with 5 dots (and a little extra room beyond the last dot) you get 2 degrees per dot.

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

I just realized that different CDIs/HSIs have a different number of dots between an on-course indication and a full-scale deflection, so there is no standard “one dot deflection” or “two dot deflection” corresponding to the same distance/angle off course. 🤯

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@MountainAviator Maybe… Glass panels (G5 and G1000 at least) seem to have 2 dots in each direction and most analog units have 4 or 5. 🤷‍♂️

[Flight Notes 🛩🚀🛸 @FlightNotes]

@HelicopterDPE Concur with the part about both aircraft flying the same direction.

Who’s flown a VCOA (Visual Climb Over Airport) departure?
