I guess they will have to rename the Montreal Sectional... Perhaps: "The sectional formerly known as Montreal?"

Puerco Frito My mother’s family was originally from the area that is now the Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast. This dish’s name, Puerco Frito, comes from the time when it was part of Spanish Florida– and it sounds more exotic than fried pork. We like it with sides of hominy corn and a...

The regulation does not state that the regulation must be referenced. AC 61-65H, is the Advisory Circular which expands on and explains the regulations as they pertain to the CFI-S, Sport Pilots, and Student Pilots seeking Sport Pilot Certification. The FAA also distributed to all CFI-Ss a...

Per "§ 61.87 Solo requirements for student pilots.(c) Pre-solo flight training." your presolo endorsement attests to the fact that you fulfilled the following requirements: "Prior to conducting a solo flight, a student pilot must have: (1) Received and logged flight training for the maneuvers...

By which the ASI contradicted the regulation by adding a restriction that is not contained in the regulation. If I take my practical in an A-65-8 powered Cub the CFI-S cannot add an unauthorized: "Limited to aircraft of not more than 65 hp..." limitation.

As it pertains to Sport Pilots, there is no wording in AC 61-65H, dated 8/27/18, for a discrete tailwheel endorsement for Student Pilots seeking a Sport Pilot Certificate or for Sport Pilots seeking a CFI-S. There is wording for a CFI-S to provide a required tailwheel endorsement for the holder...

I am talking about Sport Pilot Certification. A person cannot take a Sport Pilot practical in a 1500-1550 lb GW C-150 or a 1670 lb GW C-152, if a person is obtaining a Private Pilot Certification then the Private Pilot rules apply. While a person obtaining a Sport Pilot Certification must train...

(i) Additional training required for operating tailwheel airplanes. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (i)(2) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of a tailwheel airplane unless that person has received and logged flight training from an authorized instructor in a tailwheel...

This ASI-- not surprisingly--contradicts 14 CFR § 61.31 "(i)(1)(ii) Wheel landings (unless the manufacturer has recommended against such landings);"

Real pilots build their own airplanes ;)

The FAA produced a document, an "executive summary" of AC 61-65H, dated 8/27/18-- which in its 58 pages does not state that a Student Pilot seeking a Sport Pilot Certificate, or a Sport Pilot seeking an Instructors certificate require a tailwheel endorsement-- of step by step procedures and...

"I certify that Stu D. Ent has received the required training to qualify for solo flying. I have determined he meets the applicable requirements of § 61.87(n) and is proficient to make solo flights in the Piper J-3 Cub, C.F.Eye, 12-25-2004 C.F.Eye 123456CFI." is a tailwheel endorsement. Just...

Picadillo A quick half-hour recipe. This is a simplified version of an American Indian dish the Spanish called Picadillo– or hash. The original used chunked or shredded game on wild marsh rice. Makes eight lunch sized servings. 2 tablespoon olive oil 2 small onions, chopped 1 green bell...
