CJSAG. Circa 2006

I showed mine way back when but was only asked to show the last page with my total times. Having my ATP in hand pretty much verified I was who I said I was. That as well as what was PRIA back then (PRD now.) I guess if you are a low time FO applicant they might look a little harder?

I've hired a pilot a time or fifty... Never once have I even dug through an actual logbook. You either have the time and I can trust you with a multi million dollar aircraft, or you can't be trusted.

I'll sling some mud into these waters... We have a 6 share partnership on our airplane. The airplane is setup as an LLC and we run it as a business. Some will be quick to refer to the "flight department trap" from the IRS and they would be correct that we could be exposed to this. Here is...

I keep getting a server error message from FF when trying to load maps online. Anybody else?

I have unfortunately been involved in the investigation of a few crashes. For the sake of humanity, at least cover it with a tarp.

I cleared customs at KFPR yesterday. Damn pile of airplane is just sitting on the ramp. VERY poor taste...

Very nice. There is a FB group called Flying the Bahamas that is pretty active with great information. I just flew over and back yesterday myself and make at least one trip a month over.

At 225, you are probably smaller than most pilots...

It's getting pretty crazy here in Florida and the quality of student pilots going undergoing future ATP "training" is scary. I flew into KSUA the other day and was told there were 5 in the pattern by Palm Beach Approach and when I swapped to tower, he confirmed it. Gave me a 5 mile straight in...

Your CFI might be interpreting a local testing center policy that is incorrect. " May be used for FAA and Canadian Exams The CX-3® complies with FAA Order 8080.6 and Advisory Circular (AC) 60-11, “Test Aids and Materials that May be Used by Airman Knowledge Testing Applicants”; therefore, you...

It looks to be a good video from what I have watched so far. I am am the EFB administrator (A061) for my organization and it's a heck of a time teaching "old dogs new tricks..." My kid assimilates pretty quickly but it took a a few moments to get the plotter on a paper chart.

Not sure when this checkride was but the DPE was wrong. Very wrong. Having said that, my 19 year old son is learning to fly. He has been using Foreflight but I have also been sitting down with him to go over nav logs and charts. I fly for a living and the last time I used a sectional was...

I'm on the certificate side of the house for my operator. That is super low hanging fruit for the FAA and a super easy way to grab a $10K fine for each flight that had the wrong cards. I don't think a VDRP is going to cover it.

I cleared in at KFPR last Sunday. The only issue that I am having right now is the assignment of a landing time. I have to basically hope that the CBP officer will agree with my landing time since I have already filed the request. When we landed there were 3 jets on the ground dumping off...

lol. They still see ya…

What I was meaning was if they did have an overflight permit, that Lakeland might not be an airport of entry. You are correct, CBP would reach out to local law-enforcement, and have them intercept that aircraft on the ground

If you have an aircraft that meets the performance abilities of an overflight permit, you can obtain one and do just that. We will occasionally fly direct to Orlando international, or even to Leesburg as a part of entry with our permit. If you do not have an overflight permit, at a minimum...

Donna is a great person and she truly tries to help general aviation folks. That office of CBP is only a couple of people but they are all good people.

Attitude depends on where they are normally working and the amount of stupidity they have to deal with. I get it but sometimes I want to shake my head. After Hurricane Dorian, KFPR brought up a bunch of guys from south Florida. Their attitude was a lot different than the normal guys there...
