A few things. First off, I'll beat the dead horse and remind you to trim. Second off, in the turns don't chase any needles. Look outside in your turns. Get it to where you are maintaining altitude, the check outside and see your attitude. HOLD THAT. If you hold your attitude once established lev by looking outside, you WILL maintain altitude. And it's safer because you maintain your traffic lookout.
From my experience, aviation radios sound much better than this when you're actually listening to them in person. It's possible that the quality of the sound was degraded by the cockpit voice recorder
Fuel consumption depends on so many things. RPM, mixture setting, altitude, temperature, etc
Never EVER skid the base to final turn. That's how you spin into the ground.
It's ALWAYS better to overshoot the turn and correct back to centerline on final than to force it through with rudder.
NEVER SKID BASE TO FINAL.
Have you tried nosing it into the markers from 1000AGL
Technically precession only becomes a factor during rotation. The prop doesn't move to a new plane of rotation until the aircraft pitches for takeoff
The big difference is that OP accidentally hit the fence, and the DPE intentionally scammed OP
On your checkride you will need to recognize when the airplane is stalled. Once the aircraft has stalled, you will recover, not just at the first indication.
There are many indicators of an impending stall: Buffetting, sloppy controls, reduction in cockpit noise, reducing airspeed, and of course the stall horn.
Here is the thing: just because your stall horn comes on, it doesn't mean you are stalled. I find that it often comes on just in advance of a stall to warn of the impending danger.
If you initiate the stall recovery on the checkride before the aircraft has actually stalled, you are demonstrating an inability to recognize a stalled condition and could fail the maneuver.
"Holding short XX ready for takeoff"
Oh sorry I thought you were intending to taxi down the entire length of the runway, now that you are holding short thank you for clarifying that you want to takeoff!
Timbits and Honey Crullers. I've also always been a fan of their French Vanillas
Skipping the preflight is an easy way to get yourself in a very regrettable situation in the air
Maybe he cycled it? That's been my first response and ATC's first suggestion in the past when I had transponder issues
Don't break the plane, don't break yourself, don't break the law.
For the record I'm trying to educate myself on how to spot and avoid supercells while working lol. I'm a very low-time pilot and while I am knowledgeable on single/multi cell storms and squall lines, my training curriculum did not cover supercells (probably because they are extremely rare where I live) and I'm trying to do my due diligence to fill the gaps in my knowledge by all means available, including asking on a forum which I assume actively seeks out this kind of weather event. I also don't have much formal training in interpreting wx radar because the airplanes I fly don't have that equipment on board and the fleet is usually grounded when we get any kind of precipitation returns converging on our operating areas. I'm sorry if my original question seemed ignorant but I literally just started researching this today lol. Regardless, from your original reply I can tell that you clearly take the safety aspect of storm chasing seriously which I respect
Yeah I agree after looking at it again. I was struggling to believe initially that a cell could get as big as what is pictured, but they are pretty much unheard of in the areas where I have lived and I've only been taught about multi-cells, single-cells and squall lines so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!
Fair enough. Windy absolutely isn't as high quality as other services out there but when used in conjunction with other sources it does the job decent enough for what I need it for. Thanks for the tip, and I'll take a look at the national weather service radar as well!
I guess it is good news for you that I have no interest in being a storm chaser. I'm sorry to hear that an innocent question made you so upset. Thank you for your lovely response and I hope you have a great day!
NTA. Every gun is always loaded, even when you know it's not.
Steep turns are a flight test item, getting some more exposure to them might help reduce the nausea in the future when you do them on the checkride
