  1. Attention student pilots! 📖💡

    Joseph Olufowoshe has released a comprehensive guide to mastering the Private Pilot Written Exam. Whether you are struggling with regulations or flight planning, this "Preflight Check" will help you organize your studies and pass on your first attempt. ✈️✨

  2. 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

  5. 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

  8. 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

  13. 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!

  16. 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)

  19. 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

  22. 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.

  30. 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

  35. 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.

  40. 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
