    Airports around Boulder, CO

    Planning a biz trip from Dallas to Boulder in my DA40 and was wondering where to land. KBDU is closest to the office but no instrument procedures so if wx moves in I want a good alternate. KBJC is next closest but fuel prices are punitive. My next choice is KAPA. Any locals willing to offer...

    CAF moving world HDQ to KRBD

    KRBD, Dallas Executive Airport, formerly known as Redbird, used to be one of the best kept secrets in N. Texas. The two FBOs, Jet Center and Ambassador are both piston friendly and fuel prices are usually the best you'll find within the DFW mode-C veil. I saw a sign for hangar space at Jet...

    New thread top level for accident/major mishap discussions?

    Whenever there's a crash or major mishap, multiple threads seem to pop up in several top levels. Perhaps it would be better to have a top level category for such?

    CFI = "passenger" or "required crew member"?

    Let's say you are in need of IFR currency and night currency so you hire a CFI to be your safety pilot for the IFR currency maneuvers under the hood. You wrap up the hood work and now want to get three landings in to gain night currency. But if you are not night current, is it legal to have the...

    Class D Operating Statistics

    Here is a spreadsheet that shows the operating statistics for all the class D airports (contract towers only) in the USA for FY2012 (Oct2011-Sep2012). It comes from the FAA Air Traffic Activity Data System (ATADS). The forum won't allow the upload of an excel spreadsheet so I had to put it in...

    Use it or lose it

    Proficiency, that is. Please let's not confuse this thread with the topic of currency. Had a good reminder two days ago why my crusty ole CFII admonished me to file IFR every time I fly XC, even in CAVU. To amplify his advice for myself, I even make an effort to request an IAP at every...

    Recycled Aircraft Registrations

    We just learned that our registration number, N704PA, was previously assigned to a Pan Am B707, the very airplane that brought the Beatles to America in 1964, which was scrapped in 1977. So I was wondering if anyone else has a recycled registration that might also have an interesting cultural...
