UPT Question's
As a guard guy at UPT I can personally tell you that ATTITUDE is everything. The IP's will teach you how to fly the way they want you to, but you have to be willing to listen. Prior flight time helps for about the first week of Tweets. After that it's anybodys game. I had a lot of... -

Can someone explain Pressure Alt?
If you just use PA to find your DA, you will miss a very imporant part of flying. Terrain Clearance.
