    With the new ACS rules, is GPS alone sufficient for IR?

    In Feb 2022 the FAA put out a memo rescinding the Glaser interpretation (2008) and Pratte interpretation (2012). Previous to this, DPEs would frequently not allow ILS and LOC approaches (as an example) on the long IFR cross country <61.65(d)(2)(ii)(C)> to count as different types of approaches...

    Psoriasis treatment, Otezla

    Do you plan on flying (or traveling in general) to see the eclipse on April 8th?

    I'll fly GA (Piper Arrow) just under 500NM. I have a second home and hangar that are in the path of totality. My wife will be with me. Having said that, even if weather conditions won't allow viewing at our destination, we'll still fly there to enjoy a long weekend.

    Mechanical tach fail

    Flew last night to reestablish my night pax carrying currency. Failing tachs must be going around. Although different failure mode for me. The RPM needle on my tach was fine and was stable on my selected RPM. But the recording (hours) part of my tach didn't advance at all. I'm guessing just an...

    Are there pilots who've never used paper maps?

    By the looks of your map, I’m guessing you went thru flight school between 1992 & 2000.
