Chronicles of Flight: January 2011
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. I was just thinking about life and my past and noticed a very significant change in my life. I remember in high school I used to be angry. I was angry about everything. It didn't take much to throughly piss me off. It was so bad that I went to counseling to help me deal with it and find the causes. I have recently had some incidents occur that if I were still my high school self, I would have completely hit the roof. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The College Life of Kathryn.

Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Yes it's boring. Read it anyway. It's been a while since I blogged. Thought I ought to at least say something. I got them all done with some time to spare AND. I got good grades on all of them. (Go me! Confession: I have a bit of a lazy streak. (I know, shocker! When it comes to things I really don't want to do, I have zero.

Chronicles of Flight: Hot Springs and Wrecking Cars
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011/04/hot-springs-and-wrecking-cars.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. Hot Springs and Wrecking Cars. A most interesting Friday evening. Turns out that these hot springs are a bit south of Fillmore. So we get there and chill in the springs for a while. That was actually pretty fun, even though it was freeeeezing cold. On the way home we stopped at Carl's Jr. Yum. Then we head on back up to Springville. Disney music was the theme and we spent most of the trip home singing Disney songs. It was a blast. April 10, 2011 at 8:58 PM. View my complete profile.

Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Secrets to Research Papers. Here are a few secrets I've found to writing long research papers. Have a super long introduction. Research before you write anything. That way you have something to write about. Discuss your topic with other people and have a discussion about it. It'll show you what you've learned from your research and also other points you may want to explore further. Take breaks so as to not overload your brain. Get your friends to give you suggestions.

Chronicles of Flight: March 2011
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. Stop Snoring, dang it! Thursday, March 17, 2011. So flying the Katana is fun, but its main roll in the aviation world is that of a trainer. It has decent speed, and great handling characteristics. It's just not designed for traveling. It has a payload the size of a coconut, and can only seat the pilot and one other person, and it's a small cockpit. No space to stretch out at all. So I've been learning to fly the Arrow. These differences classify this airplane as a Complex Airplane...

Thursday, April 15, 2010. Going North to Alaska. Got my plane ticket for my trip to Alaska today. I'll be flying on a Boeing 757. For those of you not familiar with the different types of airplanes, this is what it looks like. These planes are freaking awesome. Unless you are right behind it in the traffic pattern. Then you hate it with a passion. It's notorious for creating huge wingtip vorticies which means lots and lots of wake turbulence. No good. But I want to fly one. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Chronicles of Flight: Stress
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011/04/stress.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. So I was chatting with someone in my English class about our paper and during the course of the conversation I learned that our 10 page research paper that I thought was due on the 24th is actually due on the 19th. That still gives me plenty of time, right? Work has been so busy lately and tomorrow evening I'm leaving for a 5 day trip to California. So when I get back from that trip I'll only have about two days left to do the paper. I CAN'T DO THAT IN TWO DAYS!

Chronicles of Flight: New Direction & Autopilot
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-direction-autopilot.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. New Direction and Autopilot. Now for the first entry. So recently down at Diamond Flight Center, we acquired a Diamond Star DA40-180. Boy is that a fun plane. It has a G1000. Avionics system. It's quite complex and takes some time getting used to, but once you get it, it's quite nice. Ran through my mind and then immediately "too lean." So I enrichened the mixture a little bit and the engine roared to full power and off I went. I thought I had done it right. Guess not. N321PF, Cl...

Saturday, July 10, 2010. The Dating Game (and other thoughts). I really hate the dating game. It's so annoying. Seriously, why can we have arraigned marriages? Haha, no, that'd be bad too. As a guy, it's my responsibility to ask the girl out, and plan what we'll do. Here's the problem. In order to win the dating game, you have to be more interesting, more exciting, than the other guy. Here's how I fit in this one. Disney World. That's super exciting! What are you going to do when the money runs out?

Chronicles of Flight: VOR/DME and GPS approaches
http://timmartin1987.blogspot.com/2011/07/vordme-and-gps-approaches.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. VOR/DME and GPS approaches. Today I took to the skies in N376DC a Diamond Katana with my instructor Nick Carter (No, not the Backstreet Boy). It was really hot outside and the plane really didn't want to climb much at all. I rotated at 45 knots but the thing didn't want to fly until it got to almost 60 knots. It was so hard to do the hold correctly. That's a huge mistake! That can have pretty bad consequences. Tower realized what happened and then issued him a landing clearan...
