@brad:koehn.com | I mounted my phone to the plane and took a timelapse video starting around Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, northwest of Chattanooga.

@brad:koehn.com | Here's a timelapse of my visual approach into Minneapolis Crystal (KMIC) 1/1/2020. I liked the weather better in Florida!

@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | 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 | 14:12:33 |
@brad:koehn.com | In reply to @kb1rd:kb1rd.net 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.
| 14:19:12 |
Aaron | and I assume you’ve also seen https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_questions/media/PGLSampleExam.pdf | 14:20:18 |
@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 | So I've avoided practice tests rn | 14:21:17 |
Aaron | I’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 | I 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 | Consider 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 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | CAP? | 14:27:06 |
