My ex-wife and I were co-owners of our airplane and as part of the divorce settlement I got 100 percent ownership of the airplane. I've tried once to submit the correct paperwork to the FAA to get the record changed with the aircraft in my name only and it was rejected. Does anyone have a...

I had some unpleasantness with a plumber and his pricing yesterday. He came out to quote me on a rather simple repair. He said it would take 2 hours and his "rate book" said the cost would be $450. I asked for an hourly rate and he would not give it. The job would take a maximum of $40 in...

Three, with one peeling away over the north side of the bay. Anyone else see them. I found one report that there was a TFR intercept at OAK as well.

Skydive plane flips on it's back after landing in a field. Pilot got a bloody nose, no other apparent injuries.

I was at the Subaru dealership this morning. You can buy vortex generators for your WRX. I couldn't find a salesperson to ask whether they would cause your stall to break more gently and not turn into a spin...

The wife was coming home from MSP on Delta a few days ago and the pilot rejected the takeoff and taxied back to the gate. Delta gave her a $100 credit for the stress. She said it wasn't nearly as stressful as a slip to landing in our CTSW... Anyone else ever have or do a rejected takeoff on a...

What would it it take for experimental use? Part 91 standard airworthiness cert?

Never mind. Just realized the answer must be no. Otherwise pilots overdue would never be able to become current again.

Does anyone know of a directory of the commonly used callup names for some of the smaller airports?

I've decided that my light sport airplane can't fly the missions I have in mind and I'm looking to replace it with a used 4-place airplane for about $40,000. No retracts, relatively inexpensive maintenance and operating costs. It looks like it comes down to a 172 or a non-RG Cardinal. I'm...

Will ADS-B be required?

I took a friend flying a couple of days ago. AWOS was saying a 3 knot crosswind. I tracked the centerline dead-nuts until the flair then drifted about 5 feet laterally as I touched down. No harm, nice soft touchdown, but I felt rusty for not nailing it. Anyone else been there, done that...

FAA "Technician of Record". I'm authorized to inspect, repair and calibrate Allweather AWOS stations. I took a 1 week course at Allweather, followed around technicians for a couple of days, and passed my FAA "checkride" today. I had a great time.

Two cracked molars removed, taking 800mg Ibuprofin and amoxicillin. Was under sedation for abut 45 minutes. How long before I'm safe to fly?

I'm wondering if there are any guidelines for the amount of acceptable skid bank angle verses airspeed reserve above stall.

In the course of servicing the spark plugs? Can he log the readings?

In a tight formation, went over my house at 1000 feet yesterday. Three V-tails, two conventional. If any of you guys were up there, you looked and sounded great.
