License , certificate....rating. All fine. I just hate it when one calls it a "ticket". Kinda minimizes it, IMHO.

Or the ever practicable; aways yield. Act as if the other guy doesn't see you.

Retired Airline Pilot of 35 years. Navy Pilot before that.

Way back when, in Navy Flight training, Instructors would suggest...When you are bored sitting there, trim. It is a constant balancing act.

Pet peeve.... don't call it a "ticket". That's bush. Call it a rating.

If you have trouble with this one, you aren't ready.

Just buy a handheld VHF radio. If you take up flying you'll need one. Otherwise it's a fun toy to hang around the airport with. Easily sellable on airplane forums or ebay.

Look at the nav lights. The Orange plane see 'Green" for Go. The Blue plane sees "red" for stop.

YOU get to decide. The fact is, if you are remotely troubled by the decision, you really have decided. You KNOW it's wrong.

Vel123 -- sounds like you have some integrity. That's what they used to teach back in the good old days. You don't "teach" integrity. You either have it or you don't. It's knowing the not so subtle differences between right and wrong...and acting on them.

If you have an Apple Watch, Catalina uses it to open the Computer AND submit passwords automatically. Neat.

This has NOT been my experience. I just returned from a cruise around Great Britain with stops in Ireland, Scotland and England. Apple Pay was accepted everywhere, including roadside snack stands.

Bizarre.... Nice looking airplane. IMHO, if I trusted the mechanic, that would be good enough. Just because you get a pre-buy inspection DOES NOT guarantee anything. I think it boils down to the $$$$ involved. If I was spending upwards of a quarter million I would definitely get a second...

If you are vested in the club, have a financial stake in it, you are absolutely wise to question this. Imagine the worst case scenario. YOU, as an "owner" could be the target of a lawsuit because YOU have the deepest pockets.

They didn't totally abandon the 480....yet. They just limited Factory Support to operating issues; no more cosmetic support.
