You can enhance your knowledge and insight
about flying and aviation by attending flight school. But it's formal and structured. You can learn on your own. That works well for getting answers to questions that *you* thought of. But it limits spontaneity. Or you can sit around with the guys. Now that's fun, and you learn all kinds of stuff you'd never think to ask. I did that last Saturday at the fly-in. It was great! Then there's this newsgroup. I'd hoped it would be kinda like sitting around with the guys, but it's not like that at all. I think it used to be. That's the problem with usenet. You can't lock the door. All you can do is get up and walk out. --- Mark |

Sure, I went to college on a scholarship, but still, the enigma of books mystified me the entire time. There were no buttons, and I never did find the plug-in cord. Even worse, only one side of them was actually connected. The other 3 sides just flopped open, rendering them useless. In other news: I do not understand why these people on YouTube keep providing video footage that disputes your word. I mean, there are thousands of them that disagree with you. What is wrong with those people? Hey, I'm working on a theory here. What if they have been fooling around with books? And all that crazy lab stuff. What's up with that? Morons. --- Mark http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Arch.../msg00204.html -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

It is obvious you have no clue what the term "self study" means, how to do it, or what a CFI will do when you tell him/her you are doing it. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Typical brainless response. Actual brainless response. It is obvious you have no clue what the term "self study" means, how to do it, or what a CFI will do when you tell him/her you are doing it. Let me tell you how things work in a flight school in a GA airport. The CFI's have a syllabus they go by. There are rules which the CFI's must adhere to. They offer accredited books, but you don't have to buy them if you, like me, have a library of them. Now, with each step of the way, each flight, there is a review of your memorized knowledge. You must display proficiency here in preparation for your FAA oral exam. With respect to your written test (done on a computer screen at the FAA testing facility) your school must first endorse you to even go and take this test. With me so far? Ok... In my case, just as I did in college, I memorize the information ahead of time. This saves ground school bucks being paid out, because I simply and quickly answered the questions with each level of advancement. In college, I went to the professor before the quarter began, and told him I could already pass the final. They gave me the "exemption test", and I got 5 hours without having to go to that class. That's how I raced ahead of my classmates. The flight school was very pleased with my methodology. Capishe? You know, if you ever disagree with me...and I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it. I really don't mind at all. It hasn't happened yet. --- Mark -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

Yeah, what a memory. There we were, shoulder to shoulder my hands in my pants, on the football field, even though it was before a baseball game, packed in like sardines. Me, my teddy bear and soon-to-be-dead Tiger Boy, my pussycat. The smell of cannabis filled the air. I don't smoke, it draws out my manic depression. This special night was different from the Grand Funk Railroad or the Three Dog Night or Liberace concerts I never attended there. In my mind, I was. On the football field, where they were awaiting to play a Braves game. In May when NFL football didn't play. 1973 National Football League season Regular season Duration *September 16, 1973 - December 16, 1973* https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped...973_NFL_season At one point the lights went total black-out, then suddenly the entire room and immediate area (closet) were drenched in blue light. I began to sing "My Room" by the Beach Boys because I sure as **** wasn't at Fulton County Stadium on May 4th, 1973. Nothing but blue. Next came the "smoke" of dry ice. It was like London fog in blue. I guess, never been out of South Carolina, The Mississippi of the East. Yes it was "Stairway to Heaven" time. Boy was I suprised at what came next. Tiger Boy jumped on my Philco and killed the turntable. this was the day I decided to kill him. Suddenly I released hundreds and hundreds of white fleas! It didn't quite work out as planned. Except for the few that momentarilly circled, they basically just flew away. **** me again. But there was no disappointment. Those first few notes of "Stairway" took us where I needed to be. Up the stairs to the cool breasts of my Mommy. There, in the moment listening to the most famous song in the world. I turned and looked at my Mommy, Judy ( "Judy blue eyes"), and she said... "Mark, get your goddamned hands off my tits and go to sleep. You have school in the morning". my son is a freak --- Mark |
