8 Common Ways Students Fail a Checkride

8 Common Ways Students Fail a Checkride8 Common Ways Students Fail a CheckrideThe check ride is the final step before becoming a certificated pilot, and its a large, stressful step With the never-ending list of details to study and maneuvers to practice, check ride preparation can seem impossible. If your instructor signs you off for a check ride, chances are good that youll pass with flying colors, but mistakes happen, especially when were nervous. Heres a list of common reasons students fail check rides. Dont make one of these common mistakes 8 Common Mistakes Showing up Without the Minimum Training/Hours LoggedOne of the most common check ride problems begins with the initial paperwork review. Before anything else, the designated examiner must first review your logbook and flight times to enaya that youve honigwein the minimum requirements. Make sure you and your instructorgo over the specific requirements for the certificate being sought.The private pilot certificate, for exa mple, requires that applicants have at least 40 hours of total time, two of which must be instructional, three of which must be instrument instruction, three of which must be cross-country instruction, three of which must be night instruction, and so on, along with all of the proper endorsements. Your instructor should ensure that youve completed each of these requirements before you see the examiner, but its not uncommon for something to be overlooked. Showing up With an Aircraft That Is Not AirworthyA designated examiner wont get into an airplane that is not airworthy. Make sure your airplane is up to date with all of the required inspections. Many check rides have been called off and rescheduled because the aircraft is not deemed airworthy during the initial part of the check ride.Failing to Use ChecklistsFailing to use checklists, or using one only casually, tells an examiner that youll forgo the rules for the sake of your own convenience. Even if youre able to safely conduct th e flight without a checklist, the lack of checklist use might be enough for the examiner to feel unsafe and deem you an unsafe pilot. Use the checklists Theyre there for a reason. Disregarding a Topic Listed as a Special Emphasis AreaThe special emphasis areas are listed in the beginning of the practical test standards, and they include things like collision avoidance, positive exchange of flight controls, and wake turbulence avoidance, among other things. unterstellung areas are specifically set aside by the FAA as areas that pilots should focus on in order to improve the overall safety of general aviation, and if you dont play along, the FAA wont like it. Find and study these special emphasis areas before your check ride. Failing to Recover From a Stall CorrectlyStalls, spins, and loss of control accidents are still the most common cause of general aviation accidents today. A stall is potentially the most important maneuver to avoid and/or recover from when it occurs, so if you st ruggle with them, get extra help before your check ride. An improper stall recovery procedure is grounds for failure on any check ride.Failing to Brief Spins and Spin Recoveries CorrectlySpins and spin recovery procedures are important. The examiner, at the very least, needs to know that youre aware of what a spin is and how to get out of it. If you arent, you have no business flying around in small airplanes. Botching the Landing After an Unstable ApproachManyaccidents and incidents in general aviation still occur during the landing phase of flight, making the go-around a very important maneuver to master. Messing up the go-around (by bringing the flaps up before adding power, for instance) is a safety issue and a common reason for failing a check ride. We dont practice go-around procedures enough - we all want to land perfectly -so get out there and practiceUndershooting or Overshooting During a Simulated Emergency ApproachTo make sure youll handle a real-life emergency well when youre faced with one, the examiner will want to see that you can accomplish an off-airport landing if necessary. Overshooting or undershooting the landing spot, not obtaining best glide speed, not turning directly toward your landing spot, or delaying the emergency landing checklists can all lead to a check ride failure.

3D Printing and the Jumping Robot

3D Printing and the Jumping Robot 3D Printing and the Jumping Robot 3D Printing and the Jumping Robot3D printing has helped improve many fields, so it would only be natural to see some impact on the field of robotics. As a postdoc at Harvard University, Michael Tolley, now an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, got in hauch with people in chemistry who had been working on the idea of soft machines. And a question was, Can you make a robot move and be composed primarily of soft materials? he says. He became part of a team that decided to find out the answer. Get Moving A major challenge was that it is hard to move pneumatic robots quickly when they are non-tethered. Its fine to be tethered for some things, but if you want to do search and rescue you have to be able to cut the cord, he says. Thats a major area of how robots can be of value. Thats where wecame up withjumping as a way to move quickly. Rob Shepherd, now at Cornell, came up with internal combust ion as a way to help make this happen.Silicone rubber is naturally resistant to extreme temperatures and pressure. Image Harvard University And all of what they would create for this jumping robot would be 3D printed except for the microcontroller valves, jump batteries, and fuel sources, he says. The body of the robot, the rigid core, and soft exterior were all printed, Tolley says. Some of it was actually very intuitive. Even though the team was focused on a soft body, batteries and motor controllers seemed to be incompatible. Unless youre going to reinvent all these things, you have to deal with the interface between hard control parts and soft bodies, he says. We thought we should grow hard components into a soft body, and they should not really be fixed to each other in any way, and it worked. But it was a perpetual challenge in terms of interfaces. Keeping things connected, considering pneumatic connections, ignore these and you could find the robot could be jumping violently into the air. Taking the Leap They hoped bringing in soft materials would absorb the impact of coming down from the jump, and prevent the creation from breaking. When you consider how much robotics can cost, anything that can help its lifespan has to be considered, he says.The soft materials help it work on many surfaces and for a longer period of time. The robot was ultimately designed in a nestled hemisphere design and is described by Tolley as looking like a deflated basketball. Then when oxygen and butane are injected, it becomes a full basketball and thats how the jump occurs. Testing proved successful, and the robot is able to repeatedly jump roughly a meter high without breaking. Even though Tolley says theyre proud of their accomplishments to this point, he says this marriage of differences came long before the team went to work. Much of the inspiration between soft and hard materials came from asking how nature does this, Tolley says. Like the octopus. It can be rigid when you think of the beak but then other parts of the body are soft. Its amazing what clues are all around us.

6 quick tips for making and keeping your summer goals

6 quick tips for making and keeping your summer goals6 quick tips for making and keeping your summer goalsWhen I was talking about my June goal with one of my closest friends, he said, Theres no way youre going to be able to do that. Watch me, I said. I bet you 100 push-ups you wont, he said. Deal. And we shook on it.Its officially June, which means summer is upon us.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreMost people I know think of this time of year as a time to day-drink by the pool, go to the beach, hang out on a boat (if you know someone with a boat), meet up with friends on rooftop bars, and so on. And while I certainly enjoy doing all those things, those activities actually arent the first things that come to mind when I think of summer.What I think of aregoals.More specifically, which goals Id like to achieve by the time fall comes around (and winter shortly after).For as long a s I can remember, this is how Ive always treated my summers- going as far back as summer vacation in high school, and even middle school. Summer was my time to explore new video games and challenge myself to defeat bosses. Summer was my time to get better at playing hockey, or record songs in my bedroom closet. Summer has always been a time of embracing a new challenge, and then pushing myself to overcome that challenge in a condensed period of time.So, if youre thinking about how you can make and keep your summer goals, here are 6 quick tips for you to run with.And dont forgettalking about your goalswont bring them to life.Youre going to have to work hard this summer to landsee your goals come to fruition.1. Set your intention for June, July, and August by writing it down somewhere you can see it on a daily basis.Telling yourself, This summer, Im going to isnt enough.Instead, take an afternoon or an evening and really think about what you want project you want to get done, what ski ll you want to practice, what goal you want to achieve- and then write it down.Write it somewhere you can see it. Write it somewhere thats part of your daily routine (like on your desk, or on your bathroom mirror). And then, taking a page out of one of my favorite books,Think and Grow Rich, read that intention or that reminder youve written down out loud on a daily basis.Speak it into existence.2. Set monthly, weekly, and even daily goals for yourself to reach- and check-in with yourself as often as possible along the way.Truthfully, goal-setting is easy.Its the accountability side of things people struggle with.Instead of thinking about your summer as one massive chunk of time (90 days), try to visualize your summer as 3 separate chapters (June, July, and August). Then, break each one of those chapters down into sub-chapters (Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4). And then within those sub-chapters, really internalize each day that makes up each one of those weeks (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, D ay 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7).Now, set micro-goals for each.Where do you want to be at the end of, say, June? And what goals do you need to achieve in order to get there? How can you break those goals down into weekly milestones? And how can you break each one of those milestones down into daily micro-milestones?The more you can help yourself see the next step in front of you (opposed to the entire 3-month journey), the more likely you are to remain consistent and connected to the process.3. Dont talk about your goals to anyone except 1 or 2 people in your life who will help hold you accountable.When I was talking about my June goal with one of my closest friends, he said, Theres no way youre going to be able to do that.Watch me, I said. Ive been putting this off for too long. Im going to do it.I bet you 100 push-ups you wont, he said.Deal. And we shook on it.Now, why I even had that conversation with my friend in the first place was because I wanted him to help hold me accountable. I wanted him to ask me in a week, or two weeks, how things were going- and how close or far I was from achieving my goal.What I dont recommend, however, is telling anyone and everyone in your life what your summer goals are.Why?Because science has actually proven that youre more likely to achieve your goals if you keep them to yourself (theres a terrific TED talk on the topic).4. Avoid making your summer goals the same types of goals you set all throughout the year.I find summer to be one of the most inspiring times of year.Its a great time to allow yourself to create things you might not normally create- or make progress in directions you wouldnt otherwise prioritize. For me, summer has always been about picking goals that are less directly correlated with professional success, and more about self-expression and long-term creativity. Its my way of maintaining some sort of connection to that child-like feeling of summer vacation, where these 3 months dont feel like the rest of the yea r.Ive always been a big believer in routine changes and creative breaks, so treat your summer as a way of reconnecting with a different part of yourself.Youll be thankful you did.5. Create a reading list that reinforces and inspires you in the same direction as your summer goals.One of the best ways to keep yourself engaged is to constantly feed yourself that same type of external material.For example, lets say your summer goal is to finish writing your first (or second, or third) book. Well, then I would recommend you read other books within your same genre- to keep the ideas flowing, and inspire you to see it through to the end. Id also recommend you listen to podcasts that touch on the same topics youre writing about (to give you some added perspectives), and that you watch documentaries or Netflix shows that tackle similar themes.All these input sources will only add fuel to the fire.6. Choose how you spend your summertime wisely.Of course, all the above means nothing unless you deliberately make the time to work toward your goals.This is always the hardest part for people- saying No to the Saturday neighborhood festival, or the group of friends that wants to go to the beach. We hate feeling left out. We dont always like the idea of staying home and working quietly, by ourselves. Sometimes, we even feel guilty for not being outside, for not being more social, for not X, Y, and Z.But these are the tough choices youre going to have to make- if you want to end the summer with a big goal of yours completed and achieved.Choose wisely.This article first appeared on Minutes.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

There are no barriers to entry the only thing stopping you is you

There are no barriers to entry the only thing stopping you is youThere are no barriers to entry the only thing stopping you is youDo you want to know the surest way to fail? Its to begin doing something, think youre elend succeeding, then give up and blame other people or reasons for why you havent become an industry leader. The biggest excuse I find from people who launch a business or new venture is thisThere are too many other people better at doing what I do.There it is. Take that, print it out, place it on your mirror, or on your iPhone Notes and look at that quote every day. It does have some value. Because very often, its true. Yes, there are many other people better at doing what you do. Thats life. Guess what? There are many better writers out there than me. There are better entrepreneurs. Better coaches. Better public speakers.And I accept that. Im at peace with that. But from the moment I launched my coaching business two years ago, as well as my writing and speaking car eers, I made myself a very important promiseI promised myself Id never, ever give up. And then I promised myself to never get discouraged that I wasnt the best, or that there were too many other people doing what I do. You need to promise yourself the same thing. I truly believe this is just as important to success as having a great idea, persevering through down times and working hard.What about you? Do you find yourself getting discouraged too easily?Concern yourself with youI have the good fortune of knowing and working with some extremely successful people. Ive coached CEOs of major companies, worked with startup founders, grown up with successful band musicians, comediennes and broadcasters. None of these people ever let the fact that someone else was doing what they were doing get in their way.Success doesnt happen overnight. Keep your eye on the prize and dont look back. Erin AndrewsThey kept practicing their craft, embraced their talents for what they were, and found inspir ation in role models and success stories they admired. They realized there are very few linear paths to success, and by breaking the mold and mixing in new ideas with a tireless work ethic, they believed theyd forge their own path and achieve success on their terms.Take this from Heidi Grant Halvorson, author of the book, 9 Things Successful People Do DifferentlyIn many studies weve been able to show that when people think about what theyre doing, whether theyre taking a very difficult test of some kind, or working on a project over weeks at a time when (people)think about something theyre going to improve on, that theyre going to develop over time, that they might make mistakes along the way. But thats OK because you learn from those mistakes, and over time youll really come to master this. Source HBREntry into a saturated field is not a bad decision. Having an original idea, believing that you can do it better than everyone else eventually, even if youre not capable of it now, is the best mindset for approaching a new venture. You cannot think that youre wasting time. This is where you need to steel yourself mentally and emotionally so that you dont end up being yourself.And its truly why consistency, repetition and belief in yourself matter. The only person stopping you is you - its not the industry leaders, its not your perceived competitors who are on the journey with you. Its you. I wasted time in my earlier years stopping and starting writing for websites like Bleacher Report and HuffPost. I didnt have what it took at the time to sustain myself to keep going.Have you found a similar pattern in your life? Have you got caught star-gazing and concerning yourself too much with how competitive your field is? Whether youre trying to launch a new social media app, looking to build a digital media company or perhaps launching a new healthcare product, please stop beating yourself up over why you havent arrived yet.Eliminate barriersKevin Systrom and Mike Krie ger could have never bothered starting Instagram by looking around and seeing that Vine and Facebook already existed. But they believed there was a market for a social media app that has now become one of the industry leaders in photo and video sharing. Its changed the way we consume and experience media.Here again from Ms. Halvorson is further fuel to help you build grit and perseverance to not give up or worry about what you dont haveWe find that the people who lack grit tend to be those who believe that abilities are fixed, that you sort of either win the DNA lottery or you dont. And you are born smart, or youre born creative, or youre born a good leader or youre not. And so when they encounter difficulty and things are challenging to them, that dont come easily, they are very quick to conclude, well, I guess Im just not good at this. I guess I lack this ability. And so they give up. So grit really is just fundamentally about hanging in there. Source HBREnter the fray. Have a pla n. And dont concern yourself with the other people who are already in your field. Theyre not blocking you. Theyre inadvertently making you better by forcing you to produce your best product and work hard. There are no barriers to entry. No one is standing in your way.
