When you accidentally ground loop your custom built million dollar toy. RIP Draco! Glad the owner/builder owned his mistake; that couldn’t have been easy.

@kb1rd:kb1rd.net@kb1rd:kb1rd.netHey, does anybody have recommendations for studying for a PPL exam? I'm probably going to solo (in a glider) some time this spring and my instructors have suggested studying for the exam as a way to prepare14:12:33

Hey, does anybody have recommendations for studying for a PPL exam? I'm probably going to solo (in a glider) some time this spring and my instructors have suggested studying for the exam as a way to prepare

I have my ASEL/Instrument Airplane. I recommend using online tests (a quick search found this one; it may or may not be worthwhile: https://www.4tests.com/private-pilot-glider-exam). There are apps available for mobile devices as well. One important thing to remember: when you don't know the answer (or why that's the answer), look it up or ask a CFI (or askacfi.com).

Passing the test is meant as a proxy for making sure you know how to stay safe; only you can make sure you know how to apply all that information to actually keep you safe.

@aaron:raim.istAaronand I assume you’ve also seen https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_questions/media/PGLSampleExam.pdf14:20:18
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net@kb1rd:kb1rd.net Yeah. For exactly that reason my instructors recommended a ground course that would actually explain why rather than just have me memorize answers 14:20:56
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net@kb1rd:kb1rd.netSo I've avoided practice tests rn14:21:17
@aaron:raim.istAaronI’m not sure how much powered stuff carries over to glider. I enjoyed going through the Sporty’s Learn to Fly course but I got got that for free. I’m not sure I would recommend that for $250 since it doesn’t have any glider stuff.14:21:29
@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comI did my ASEL ground school online; it was ok, but not having anyone to talk to made it harder.14:21:51
@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comConsider joining CAP. If you're under 18 flight instruction is basically free, and if you're over 18 you get half off anything from King Schools. 14:23:04
