A few pictures I took today while I was flying.

How much do you fly helicopters?

Now that I am back in Afton I plan on doing it every Tuesday and Friday, or something like that, that is more consistent. I am paying for my training with a loan from Flight Training Finance and the terms I agreed to with them is two lessons a week. I can do more than that of course, but I would...

The way my instructor has been having me do it is after the before landing checklist is complete when I am a beam the intended touchdown point of the runway I reduce power to 1800 rpm (which does drop down to about 1700 by the time I turn base), hold the nose up until I am below 100, I extend...

This is the website of the flight school I am using. https://www.flywyo.com/home-page My CFI has been a great instructor and I have enjoyed flying with him. He had his engine quit when he was over the ocean in New Jersey and he had to make an emergency landing on a bridge. He has trained more...

Another thing I still need to perfect is steep turns. I am not holding altitude very good in my steep turns, and sometimes I go too steep or not steep enough on the bank. One of my landings we were coming in right over the runway and were in too low an energy state or something like that and...

How many hours did he have when he soloed?

One thing I am interested in is how many hours other pilots had when they did their first solo.

I have 21.2 hours so far but I have not done my solo yet. I still need to perfect my landings. The flight school got another plane a month and a half ago. I have been doing my lessons mostly in it. N64307 has a 180 hp conversion and it has significantly better climb performance than N1088U...

This fatal accident happened last night in California.

I enjoyed the video! What year was it made?

I took my second flight lesson 2 days ago in the Citabria. I practiced slow flight, steep turns, and a box pattern around the airport. I am still not very good at the rudder, and my patterns around the airport are terrible. I overshoot my turns quite a bit on my pattern. I have not done any...

I have watched some of Dan Gryder, and he definitely makes stuff up, and he says things without evidence to back it up. I can't stand to watch him anymore. I just watch Blancolirio instead.

Juan Brown from the Blancolirio channel just released this video on the accident a few days ago.

I don't know if anyone else is interested in this video but I liked it because it went into the details of what was going through his mind when he tried to kill the engines. In my opinion he used the mushrooms instead of seeking a psychiatrist because he didn't want to loose his medical. The...

What I am wondering is in the heat of the situation did they even recognize they were stalled? Did the captain barely wake up when he came into the cockpit? I agree the captain should have taken control of the aircraft but it seems like he was confused as he came into the cockpit after the...
