How many instruments can I use for VFR?

How many instruments can I use for VFR?
Hi again guys,
So I just looked through the 40 replies that this guy got started. I have to admit to feeling like I fell for his game. I thought a real student was looking for some help on a checkride. But that aside, I've also seen a lot of what makes me so proud to be a pilot in all of this. I think pilots really are (as many of you pointed out) concerned about their fellow aviators out there. We are a close knit, but hugely extended family. I can fly to a strange FBO, and never having met a pilot, ask him/her where to get a cheap meal or find some oil. I remember one time I met a pilot that got stuck at my FBO. I was heading up to practice some maneuvers, so I offered to drop him off at his airport 80 miles away- nothing expected in return. I know lots of pilots with stories like this. And far from being elitists, I think any of us REALLY like helping eachother- whether it's answering student questions, simmer questions, or telling the guy in final to watch out for the ducks that you nearly hit on the runway a few minutes ago. I'm glad to have gotten a chance to "meet" a lot of you today, so thanks again. Today mxsmaniac is that duck sitting on the end of the runway.... I look forward to answering and asking more questions in the future. And if I ever put my foot in my mouth, just know no that it's never on purpose |

I made a long post on "Why do I fly" a couple of months ago. Check out http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...74582207b32acc You will see that we are indeed a close knit bunch of people. I look forward to answering and asking more questions in the future. And if I ever put my foot in my mouth, just know no that it's never on purpose Who knows how many times I ate toe jam in newsgroups :-) No biggie, pick up the pieces and move on, and most importantly learn from it.

You might very well have it nailed correctly. If this is his issue, it makes
it all the more a shame. I know more than one simulator pilot who has come into the real aviation venue successfully and gained wide acceptance because of their friendly approach and constant quest for knowledge. Its so easy to be appreciative and friendly. The strange thing is that he actually asks some very intelligent questions hidden in all that nastiness of his. The obvious thing is that he believes before he asks them, that he knows more of the answer than the one he will get.....and mostly he's wrong; so he loses.........and in a way, those who engage him lose as well, since in many cases the only thing that's advanced is the level of angst. Oh well........what is it they say...........that's Usenet!!!! :-) Dudley Henriques "Judah" wrote in message .. .

Just make sure its the LEFT foot!!! You might need the other one in a hurry someday :-)) Dudley Henriques |

their fellow aviators out there. We are a close knit, but hugely
extended family. I can fly to a strange FBO, and never having met a pilot, ask him/her where to get a cheap meal or find some oil. I remember one time I met a pilot that got stuck at my FBO. I was heading up to practice some maneuvers, so I offered to drop him off at his airport 80 miles away- nothing expected in return. I know lots of pilots with stories like this. And far from being elitists, I think any Yes, well said. I experienced this 2 weeks ago when my airplane wouldn't start on a nice sunny day and had to be taken down for maintenence. I was getting my things out of the plane and heading out to the parking lot when a Dutch pilot in the lounge who had come all the way from Europe to build hours for an ATP asked me if he wanted to go fly with him. I was thrilled and it really made my day as he took me on a long cross country to Harris Ranch and on the way back showed me how to do an ILS approach at Modesto [this is in Northern CA]. I had no idea about instrument approaches before this and it was really cool when he asked me to look out front when we were at decision height at Modesto. We were lined up perfectly for 28R! I got to fly free with a stranger for 4hrs and also got my first taste of instrument flight, how cool is that! |
