Access is controlled by key cards, so the driver is only "random" in that he's another random tenant at the airport. Vehicles are permitted in the area of the near miss, being a non movement area and all. I'm debating whether to mention this to airport management when I visit them for an...

My wife asked "Why don't you have horns?" Maybe I should suggest this to the club. :D

These smartphones got a mind of their own ..

2 weeks ago I came the closest to having an accident since getting my private. And of all things it nearly happened with just another 100 feet of taxing left in the flight. Having completed a few stop & goes elsewhere that night, I return to my home field and land. Everything is fine and I...

The pilot smells oil and is losing power but at 1:14 hesitates to declare because "there's a lot of paperwork". Besides that he did a great job. I mean, I can totally understand the fear of paperwork. A lot of federal papers carry a very real danger, financial or otherwise. I wonder if "the...

Ahh yes, forgot about harvesting the sample. It's not exactly a cheek swab

I'd assumed they bill the surviving party's insurance. Kind of like how one avoids the $800 ambulance ride if at all possible.

Would it be vegan the same way that human milk is vegan?

And unlike the animal, lab meat wouldn't have an immune system and barrier (skin). Do you trust a scaling up of a sterile lab process to mass produced commodity?

Depending on how you view it, cows (especially dairy cows) convert crops unsuitable for human consumption into food. Heck, where do you think bad batches of Skittles go?

If only they would stop butchering "plantain". We die a bit inside when people say plan-tane. It's plan-tin.

I smell another pinned flowchart. :)

Can your future article simplify what "flight" is? For "flight", "PIC", etc I just ask myself "how much paperwork is involved if I mess up?"

It would be odd to do approaches without at least sim instrument, wouldn't it?

If you do too well the instructor quietly fails an instrument or two on you.

Not too far. 30-40 nm I suppose. You know what the irony is? Flyable IMC occurs on workdays with either VMC or icing occurring when me and the rentals are available.

I do find it funny to pay an instructor but he doesn't log dual received. Is he saying I learned nothing? :D

I have my instrument rating, but unfortunately I can't always find IMC in the Goldilock zone. (Ceilings above mins but below FAF, no storms or ice, etc). So I do a few approaches in the sim to keep current I notice different CFIIs log them differently. Any opinions? "Sim instrument" is a no...

Interesting. I thought it would have been an overall cancer risk as in greater radiation dose to the whole body.

There must be a lot of blind and well tanned retired airline pilots.
