Uh… actually that’s exactly what you do… I know tons of folks who signed waivers to go to rehab (rehab joint required it) acknowledging that they were receiving treatment that wasn’t medically necessary. FAA seems to think that mitigates something.. Look at it this way, you are satiating an...

What…. What’s all this “thanks”, “it’s alright…” stuff? What about us? Don’t we have rights? Ok fine… We wish you the very best! Us and our grumbling empty spoiled stomachs will be happy to welcome you back into the fold. No wait. I only got to go once… mods! Can’t you do something to...

It’s also easy to opt out of being burglarized. Just offer everything you own to anyone who wants it.

Furthermore, so what if the military gives you something, and maybe uses a not so standard standard to justify it? The faa explicitly uses non standard standards to crucify individuals. The military is at least trying to help THOSE WHO SERVED. They need to stay in their own lane. Determine...

Used to be common to foam a runway for anything that might cause sparks on landing. They eventually realized the foam was a bigger hazard and problem that the perceived risk of allowing sparks, or maybe it wasn’t even really preventing those. In any case, one day they just stopped. Still...

Not super challenging but useful… in a year I’ve collected SIX working radios that’ll never see the inside of a plane again. I’ve sourced power supplies, audio amps and old microphones… gonna make base stations out of them housed in nice hand dovetailed wooden boxes. I’ll build the antennas...

That is SO fake. The jumper cables would be coming out the FRONT of the car… Or maybe it was a hot fueling situation gone wrong?

Chunks is a buddy of mine. Intell type, got himself a coupla jet rides… well… Lucky guy! Ha!

insofar as abstinence is concerned, ETG does not go back 2 weeks. The same goes for peth. Joe, like the faa, does not seem to understand how this works. It’s a shell game seemingly designed to placebo the public into thinking the faa has mitigated a safety issue…. “Hush little baby...

In 1987 and 1989 if you had eyes you could fly out of the Naval Academy. In 1988 you also needed a modicum of grades. I didn’t exactly have even a fraction of a modicum of grades, so I became a Surface Warfare Officer. Who knew the culpable result of going to the NAVAL Academy would be...

And then there’s Minnesota… a bud told me his renters hadn’t paid in 9 years or something crazy. I’m like WHAT????? Oh no problem, the state picks up the bill for them. They NEVER pay late… Wow…

He’s the only guy to use in the area. There are others, that I do not recommend.

It’s not even defined as dilute outside of 49cfr40. It’s just creatinine xxx. Just a tiny bit of biomarker acumen would permit appropriate interpretation of results.

Totally up to your AME. Not unusual for a monitored retest. May choose to simply ignore it.

Used them for several rebuilds when I was running a repair station. Had no problems. Had some issues with meeting expected finish dates, but that was the height of EVERYONE having problems with supply. Top notch work, knowledgeable and stood behind their work.

This is crap. By POLICY, we put untrained flight attendants in pilot seats ROUTINELY so one of the guys can go take a leak. This is a total nothing burger. 1. If it’s anyones “fault”, it’s the air crew. 2. In single pilot jets, the right seat gets SOLD. Customers in it all the time. 3...

@RussR , oooooooh…. Ok. I’ll buy that. Weird, but not unusual. Weirder is that I can instruct in one. I asked about a CFI checkride (in the context of seaplane), they didn’t seem to really even know what I was talking about. In their defense, it makes sense. It would be stupid to change...

Maybe better put: My CFI has single engine and multi engine AIRPLANE ratings. I took a single engine AIRPLANE practical. No distinction on the CFI, so why a distinction not mentioned? That commercial practical (CP ASES) allows me to teach in the seaplane without taking a specialized...

So there I was… doing manual weight and balance at delta for YEARS during training and recurrent… in case the system went down. The system went down… turned out… ONLY the pilots were trained! Ha! System ground to a halt for a day or something. Manual weight and balance no longer taught at...

Well, that’s how I understand it. The FSDO here in Detroit seems to think I would have had to taken an “seaplane instructor” practical to be eligible to renew my CFI… and as mentioned, that doesn’t exist (although he seemed to think it does). So what practical would work? Only if I had a ASES...
