Bingo. Not busy for a bravo

I understand I am the one at fault here. I am taking at as a learning lesson. Another question is should I even fly again until I here from the FAA? Or IF I hear from them?

My memory is a bit foggy on exactly what the controller said because it just happened fast. I do know that he did not state the 73's altitude. I believe he said "n12345 traffic 10 o'clock 2miles" I responded that I had the traffic in sight. Nothing on its altitude. Like I said I know it was...

Traffic call was: "...ND Do you have traffic insight?" I responded that I had it insight. That was all. I was assigned to stay at 3500. Descending was just my initial reaction in attempt to avoid the traffic.

The controller did not aware me he would be flying under me, so I descended just after descending I got a little earful and climbed back up. When I called I gave him my info, name, license number etc. And explained my side of the story. I also filled out a NASA report as soon as I got home.

Today I was flying within Bravo airspace. I was assigned to fly a 340 heading at 3500 feet. While flying I noticed a 737 on my 9 o'clock flying directly at me. The controller asked if I had the traffic insight I responded that I did, but as the seconds went by and the large jet was closing in I...

I just have a simple metal Asa kneeboard that I like. Keeps everything where I want and has some emergency info printed on the metal.

If I flew with the owner and wasn't familiar with the aircraft, could I legally log PIC time if the owner didn't?

Wow some of those are insane!

5.21 South Western PA (kbvi)

Hi so I am over my night currency and this is my question. I usually fly at an airport about an hour from my house, with 2000 piper warrior III's (PA-28-161). There is a field a little bit closer and they have two (PA-28-161) one is from the 70's and one from the 80's. Is it legal to get my...

I am a newly licensed private pilot with around 55 hours. I passed my checkride about a month ago now, and went up for my first first flight last week (3 weeks after checkride). I flew over my house and did a couple maneuvers and quickly noticed I was a little rusty. How often do you think I...

Depends on who built it for me as well.

No not at all. A family friend went there and his son did also. His son is now chief pilot at that corporation, and many of the other pilots there are all from this specific university. This is why they offered the possible internship if it went to that university
