Sad but grateful today. Told CFI that I'd be stopping flight training. Just under 100 hours total time, 33 hours solo, just needed school stage check + FAA checkride. I'm grateful that I fulfilled a childhood dream of FLYING, but this is enough. I'm going to miss the sky. #studentpilot #aviation

Drove to a local airfield which has a well-regarded breakfast / lunch restaurant. The French toast was out of this world. Have done touch-and-goes there and used it for a XC checkpoint, but never “been” there. Someday I hope to spend $400 to fly there to get the same food. #studentpilot

I need this. Need to figure out how to source specific #LEGO parts. This version www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HUC... includes a parts list, but not all numbers match at LEGO Pick A Brick. Another version also looks good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HUC... #studentpilot

Solo long cross-country finally done! Air was a bit rough below 3000 feet especially for this #studentpilot, but the sky was clear enough to see checkpoints from WAY far away. Just a beautiful but bumpy day. As always, I could have flown better, but it's done!

Evolution of converting data into #studentpilot understanding: Short-field takeoff POH performance tables --> #dataviz plots of the tables --> interactive #rstats #Shiny App for "What if?" analysis Also fetches weather and runway info (Needs runway refactor for small fields with no weather)

The weather still hates me. Green is visual flight rules (VFR); blue is marginal VFR. I'm in the Northeast. Fun to compare SkyVector (limited # of reporting sites) vs. full data download from Aviation Weather Center and personal R script (previously described). #datavis #studentpilot

The reason I will never get my private pilot certificate is because of the exponentially decreasing probability of simultaneously fulfilling: - 3 airfields with #studentpilot solo weather minimums - my availability - plane availability p1•p2•p3•p4•p5 = essentially infinitesimal No long XC again.

Decreased Weather Forecast Office staffing and loss of 2 radiosonde reporting locations in CONUS (Omaha, NE and Rapid City, SD) for winds / temperatures aloft analysis. Guess I'll have to update my analysis (www.incidentalfindings.org/posts/2024-1...). #rstats #dataviz #studentpilot #weather

Had to cancel student solo long XC for weather at one airport (the weather hates me) so went to practice area instead. But for the first time, my 360° steep turns ran into my own wake (3 out of 4 times)! (Landings were slightly less terrible, too.) Small victories for a #studentpilot.

Good news — figured out how to import a Google Earth map layer outlining the practice area into ForeFlight. Bad news — very clear that my last flight wandered a bit out of bounds. Did not violate any airspace, but it’s really inconvenient that air doesn’t have markings. #studentpilot

Just picked a fight in r/flying. Someone reporting errors in their fleet’s w+b sheet. Discussion struck me as pretty pointless. Did math. The max error was equivalent to 1 lb error for backseat. Hope passenger didn’t 💩 without telling because that’s the magnitude of error. #avgeek #studentpilot

Flew for the first time in 2.5 weeks yesterday and solo for the first time since late December. I didn’t do very well at all. So disheartening. How do you watch and react (and not OVERreact) to everything at the same time? #studentpilot

Have modeled EVERY major performance calculation for this C172S. Can fetch METAR to autopopulate elev, baro, and temp. Handles PAlt, DAlt, headwinds. Calculates climb from field elev to goal altitude. Need good weather for #studentpilot solo long XC. Just wish I flew better. #avgeek #rstats #shiny

I made a #shiny app to do my C172S cruise performance calculations. I know apps out there already do this, but creating my own ensures I understand it fully. Thinking of adding takeoff and landing performance. Will make it easy to do the calcs every time. #studentpilot #rstats #datavis

Visualized cruise performance tables with plots for better intuition of how the numbers relate. The line plot uses numbers directly from the POH tables. The heat map is visualization of a calculated metric of nautical miles per gallon. Just being a #studentpilot #avgeek with #rstats #datavis

The remedy for get-there-itis is sound aeronautical decision making. What a role model for this #studentpilot. Hopefully I will remember this incident someday when making a questionable go / no go decision.

First flight in 3 weeks as a #studentpilot. Winds were friendly; wasso great to be in the air again. Unusual attitude recovery is FUN. Also had first attempts at short field landings -- one each good / barely 20-feet short / floated long. Have to work on that energy management.

It’s been surprisingly effective to have a “daily habit” app remind me to study for my PPL at least 15 minutes every day. Before, it just seemed so huge and amorphous (and FAR AIM regs just aren’t much fun) that I procrastinated about doing anything. Making progress! #studentpilot
