I like watching the Pilot Pete videos, they’re very good. I’ve yet to sit down and watch the 680 training but I’ve watched a few reviews and always enjoy them.

I’ve just flown the update and notice they’ve “broken” my stall test workaround of pulling the A/T circuit breaker to stop the A/T wake up low speed protection, the A/T now still wakes up even with the CB pulled.

How do you guys do stalls for check rides? Do you pull the A/T CB or is there a more refined method?

thanks so much for the kind words!! old fuddy duddies than run avsim only remind me that the old avsim is long gone... too bad

Yes, thank heavens it's a very different, more tolerant place now that hosts a diversity of opinions. It was like a military boot camp about 15 years ago. Having witnessed your persona, I'm not surprised that that suited you.

If you don't like it, there's a saying in the UK .......... jog on. 😄

Or, just stop playing the victim because some people called you out for spamming and enjoy your YouTube stuff and being a participant of AVSIM. They're not mutually exclusive.
