There are some clubs in Germany that have aircraft with N tail numbers. That’s your first challenge. Then of course you will have to become familiar with the different air spaces in the European system. They are fundamentally different than the US. Not going to lie. It will be a big...

Yes. The AME will see your previous medical interactions and how you answered questions previously. You can request a copy of your airman file from the FAA. That way you can see exactly how you answered each question. In the future, I suggest you keep a copy of your application so you can...

You can fly a C172 with basic med. As long as the airplane is certificated for fewer than 6 passengers and is under 6000 pounds gross, you don’t need a medical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But here is where are you going to run into an issue. If you do not disclose the condition that you have, and the FAA request information on another issue, they may very well discover the undisclosed issue. Here’s what happened with me. I had a medical condition that the FAA sent me a request...

They can’t just arbitrarily access your records. You have to provide them. But there has been conversation about the FAA and department of Veterans Affairs sharing records. It seems that certain airman were collecting disability for certain issues that would be disqualifying for a medical...

Once you get they duplicate copy of the SI, I would recommend scanning it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Contact the FAA medical regional office who handled your case and ask them to email you a copy. They have done this for me in the past, and I know they should be able to do that. If they won’t email it to you, ask them to mail you a copy. The AME should have access to a lot of that information...

So let’s say I find an airman who has the same attitude as you, and I have reasonable basis to request a 709 ride. I ask you to ID a Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) for an approach, and you use GPS and the approach does not have an associated GPS overlay, guess what. You failed the re exam and...

They are. I have my ATP so I’m not about to risk all my certs unless an activity is well within bounds. If there is any question, then it’s just not worth it. I worked too hard to get where I’m at. And if this “pizza flyer” is crossing international waters to make the delivery, he needs to...

Interesting. He works at the FSDO in Irving, Texas. Aviation Safety Inspector, Unit C North Texas Flight Standards District Office 8700 Freeport Parkway, Suite 225 Irving, TX 75063 And he has an FAA.GOV email address. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spoke with an FAA safety inspector on Friday. He seems to be of the opinion that the pizza operator is afoul of the regs. And that is whose opinion matters. The FAA. If you don’t like a regulation, work to change it. But don’t disregard it just because you don’t agree with it. Sent...

I just spoke with an Aviation Safety Inspector in Texas regarding an unrelated issue. I brought this scenario up to him. Interestingly, they are aware of this case. His (the FAA’s) opinion (at least in this office) is there is a component of compensation, and therefore it is not permitted...

You don’t see the FAA taking the position that the sale of the pizza wouldn’t have been possible had delivery not been offered? I would think the FAA would test this theory. If the pizzas were delivered to a place inaccessible except by plane, then the sale of the pizzas wouldn’t have been...

The restaurant benefits. The pilot doesn’t not have to be the one receiving benefit. This isn’t legal. “compensation occurs even if a third party receives a benefit as a result of the flight.” Read section 8.1 of Advisory Circular 61-142. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
