"Gulfstream Girl" This is one that really has me thinking. I am really trying to be objective. The fact remains that she did get not one, but two type ratings - a G-II/III and a G-IV. That's not easy BUT when you know no difference, all of us know that learning to fly is 99% procedures...

UPDATE: Another interesting "twist" to it all, having nothing to do with the violation . . . Surprise! Surprise! One morning I was awakened by some very bad pain and --- shortly thereafter, I found myself having open heart surgery to replace my ascending aorta and a bicuspid valve with a...

Please advise how I can TERMINATE my membership/association here. I need to ELIMINATE all postings that I have made, responded to, been responded to, etc. It is haunting me in the real world. Please advise.

I've sent messages to administrators to no avail. I need to know how to TERMINATE my membership. I no longer want to part of this site. I want my account ot be terminated and all postings by me to be deleted. Please advise how that can happen.

Scott --- I post my reply to you here as opposed to a private response for the benefit of others who may have a differing perspective. This is not about crying and whining; it is about demonstrating how one very routine flight on a beautiful Saturday morning 5 years ago can turn into the worst...

"Cupcake"? You have your butt, your career, your livelihood on the line and it is hardly a cupcake matter! My statement should have answered none of the questions that you had unless you were not totally up-to-speed on matters. No bad decisions were made in the cockpit and no bad decisions...

For those who may be following this (out of interest, disgust, hate, apathy, sympathy) whatever . . . . . . here is a copy of the letter that my Congressman received from the FAA's Chief Counsel. A very typical response, but certainly nothing in there in disagreement with anything that...

Hell no (to the PIC excuse)! Even I knew - as do most private pilots at the 100-hour mark - that the FAA is always going to chase the senior pilot! My CFI notes were all over the guy's logbook and, after all, I was a CFI on board that flight that day. I think what I will take responsibility...

Greetings! Thanks for your comments. I hope to be able to return to aviation; the variable this time is the economy that we're in but who knows on that one. I doubt that I will seek something "big" that will require form filling out and HR scrutiny (in which case I would be immediately...

Those of you who have been "following" my saga of the unauthorized ADIZ penetration that occurred 5 years ago [July 10, 2004] will now get some more information that, in my opinion, is quite troubling. I surrendered my certificate on July 29, 2009 for a period of 90 days. Now, I wanted to know...

They did not bring out any tapes. All they had was testimony and plots on paper showing NO code (not 1200) and then assigned codes.

1. Unfortunately the ARG/US and the Weyvern agencies - that rate charter companies - assign "negative points" against a charter operator with pilots who are either violated OR under investigation. That is what screwed me up wit this nice little charter gig I had . . . 2. I guess Hillary...

Yeah - that whole english proficiency thing was/is a crock! If the government wanted you to have a new certificate they should have issued it without charge OR issued new certificates as "English NOT proficient" if that was the case! Even funnier, I had a 21 day trip into Canada,Bahamas and...

No - this is about a 16 year old young man who flew a Cessna 172 from Ocean City MD to Long Beach CA.

Please be advised that I haven't mistaken "due process for irony". In this case, in fact, they are clearly separate. So, maybe it is best to say: "Isn't it ironic that while due process what being followed - and occurring - the same pilot who violated federal security airspace designed to...
