    Renting out my home flight simulator.

    I believe you will need a CFI certificate. Otherwise the student won’t be able to log the time. -Skip

    Resorts near small airports?

    The Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, MA. Right on the “elbow” of Cape Cod. The Chatham airport is a bit distant, but a call to the front desk summons a courtesy car and driver. Definitely high end pricing but worth it in my book.

    Opt Out of My Legal Rights?

    Two basic reasons: The person or people deciding your fate may be less than impartial because his/her/they may need the fees they get from providing arbitration services, ie: follow the money, and The selection of the arbitrator/arbitrators is controlled by someone named “not you”. -Skip

    So I just bought a crate of Liquid Death

    How much do you think it cost for fuel alone to take it around the pattern once? Of course add reasonable ground run from the hangar to the runway. Yes a lot of variables, but your estimate is better than mine. -Skip

    Apple blows chunks

    I use a three part password: a number component derived from the N number of the plane I soloed in (but not that plane text number (yes I misspelled plain on purpose, this being POA and all), a six letter alpha portion, upper and lower case mixed. These two parts remain constant across all...

    High Performance and Complex Rating

    My experience getting the HP/Complex endorsement was an unfortunate expensive time. My prior flight time was 100% in an Archer II. The flight school had a PA-32-301 Saratoga on the rental line. HP, but not complex. So I got my Complex endorsement in that plane. Insurance required 10 hours...

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    I think the decline of those who carry these knives is partially related to the decline in the number of those who can use any tool effectively. Maybe related to the decline of Jr. and High School Shop Classes. My daughter, then about 16 years old, got a flat tire while on a double date...

    172/Cherokee gotchas

    If you are ever leaning toward a Cardinal, you should pay up for a wing-spar inspection. They are subject to corrosion and are made of unobtanium. I like the cardinal, but it has the spar as its Achilles heel, sadly. -Skip

    No delay

    If you taxied faster than a brisk walk you'd leave your wing-walkers Steering Gear and Brakes behind. Those wing walkers were not just out for a constitutional. They had a purpose.

    T-Hangar neighbor. WWYD?

    Contact the school’s Chief Pilot and tell them you are seeing lots of bird activity in and around the hangar, and ask him politely to tell his CFIs to train the students that proper protocol is to shut the doors after moving a plane in and out of the hangars. I.e., start nice. Then you keep a...
