Happens

Mostly just shower thoughts and embracing debate. I do fly in a delta underneath a bravo and have had long extended downwinds getting somewhat close to the bravo that has made me think of this. I would speak up before crossing into bravo but it’s interesting to hear how ATC could potentially put you into violation

How’d you know this is my field

Haven’t seen a joke go this far over someone’s head in a long time

Agreed. I’m a finance professional and hobbyist PPL. But you don’t go into finance for a couple years. The pay per work yield in the first couple of years are the worst. Every year you’re in the industry the pay per work yield gets better. Work life balance may or may not get better depending where you go with it. I did my PPL during covid wfh which made it a lot easier. Doing it while working in office and in a major city like NYC is even harder. I’d imagine near impossible. If flying for a career is your dream and your calling, then pivot now or wait a decade+. Not 2 years.

I’m sure it’ll land swimmingly with your probably 65+ retired Air Force DPE

Fair, I’ll never do an intersection departure again by choice in a single engine. Very little upside and potentially lots of downside

Very few other airports around me do intersection departures. And it’s common sense after you hear the terminology intersection departure. If ground/tower would’ve just said those words I would’ve been able to put 2 and 2 together. But I just kept trying to figure out what he meant on the taxi diagram

First XC as a student pilot I was requesting taxi for departure at the destination airport where I wasn’t familiar with their SOP. Anyways, they gave me an intersection departure. I had no idea what it was and my brain couldn’t compute how his taxi instructions would get me to the beginning of the runway. We went back and forth like 3 times asking him to clarify taxi instructions. After a few minutes it finally clicked what he wanted from me. That’s the day that I learned what an intersection departure was. (I will always hate intersection departures)

$240 p hour do PA28-181 and instructor $80-90 per hour. You’re sitting pretty with your option

Good point. Basic stick and rudder is the easiest part of flying. It’s everything else

Let us know his/her answer

If you’ve watched 9/11 docs then you prob know 7500

Fair

It’ll be the first thing a pilot who is regularly around aviation thinks of when they hear the number. A non aviator who heard it once or twice will not immediately think of it when the number is thrown out without any context

Ask him if the number 7700 means anything to him

I’m a hobbyist PPL and only fly single engines. So I’m curious to hear, where did you notice the deficit the most when going back to GA from ATP? I can’t imagine you were really caught up on the charts for too long. Maybe just a quick refresher. What else was eye opening? I’m genuinely curious as I’ve never seen the other side before (ATP)

What did I just read in those first few sentences? The maneuvers are easy in your opinion but yet you can’t do them to standards?????
