So I fly a 182 for a company and just took over this new route. I’m 235lb Well the guy who operates our camera system is 400lb. And not to mention has some B.O We’re 160 over max takeoff weight. He told me the previous pilot always topped the plane off but they were definitely way overweight. Do I just take 30 less gallons every time I want to do a flight ??
First Solo
Checkride
I passed my ppl checkride today. If anyone wants any advice I would say my mistakes were striving too much for perfection and not taking enough time to analyze the situation at hand. Just relax and let the training take over. Once I did that I had a very strong close to the checkride with the soft/short field landing and take offs being spot on. Goodluck to everyone getting ready for it I hope you guys pass as well!
