So tell me yycflyguy do you think he will end up back in the Whitehouse or in the big house next November? Or maybe the lefties will get Hunter Biden elected? Or they may get Rob Reiner elected...yeh ...

Look at Donald Trump.

Are you suggesting Donald Trump should be in jail?

What specific crime would you indite him for?

There’s your white male privilege card, Complex Wow Complex you got off easy, he forgot you label you racist and a bigot. :mrgreen: Don't you know that all humans were created equal and all pilots are equal regardless of the cultures they are from? Shame, shame. :prayer: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Who is the old feller on this board who keeps saying that they "never killed anyone by refusing to fly"?

Me.

I'm not old, just advancing in years.

"Hand flying the portion below mins"
So they are maintaining their hand flying skills by flying the last 10 seconds of the flight? Wow, that's a lot of hand flying.

The most fun one to fly is the Mooney Mite.

Here is a question that I have.

Is there a downside to being able to hand fly an airplane?

As far as I can determine there are no certified fully automatic machines flying yet, or are there?

Beyond any doubt fully automated airline category airplanes is the future of airline flying. In fact I hope to live to see it happen. For me it will be quite the experience to have been in aviation and having actually flown from the age of " Radio Range Navigation " to the age of fully aut...

Aviation is dynamic, there are risks, identifying and mitigating risks is the business. Never hand flying is a risk of its own and potentially much more unsafe. Whatever 'danger' passengers endure while a pilot (ahem) pilots the airplane, is easily trumped by the better levels of competence and saf...

Pardon my dissent, but we are paid to fly accurately and with as much situational awareness advantage as possible. Your passengers aren't paying for you to practice hand flying beyond what's necessary to complete the flight. Rent a 172 or book a sim slot. Wow. Has aviation come to the place that pi...

I try to from time to time, and find it really does help keep me a little sharper.

No.

It keeps you a lot sharper.

The main question is how do pilots gain and maintain stick and rudder skills.

By actually performing them?

Ahhhhh, I am not alone in my concern.

You are?

" Am I to understand " is a question, not a statement.

Am I to understand that the competency of some foreign airline pilots may have some effect on the possibility of having an accident in a Boeing Max?

The best way to handle this in my personal opinion is to ask the insurance company to put you on their insurance with your uncle acting as your instructor for a predetermined number of hours which you would log as dual. After that you would be a named pilot on the insurance and you could if you wis...

What PilotDar said about sums it up, the C150 is hard to beat and affordable.

During the years I owned a flight school I operated just about every light airplane available and I only liked a couple of other ones, the Tomahawk and the Grumman Cheetah.

But the C150 still was the moneymaker.

We mostly read and watched videos and I always watched videos on history, science and theology.

I see we have passed a thousand views in this thread and I am hoping we can get more instructors commenting on the importance of accurate height judgement during the latter stages of the landing process from the start of the level off height to surface contact. If you wish to demonstrate flying clos...
