I am still flabbergasted by our extreme luck. We live in the path of totality. My wife had several family members fly in from all over the country-- (Florida, California, Montana) to come see the eclipse and to have an excuse for a family get together. The weather was crap up until Monday...

As I have said on here several times, Plaintiff's lawyers just want the insurance money. No matter how much they grandstand on justice, it's about the money.

I find this quote compared to this quote (both written by Plaintiff's lawyers) hilarious.

Please spare us. I have been to too many mediations and settlement conferences where mediators and judges strong-arm settlements based not on the facts but because of the cost of defense and risk of a runaway jury. As long as there is insurance to pay, the plaintiff's bar will be there, and...

Perhaps you should not have filled her head with false hopes of vast sums of wealth that are based neither on logic nor justice.

I don't know. The complaint is a masterclass in class warfare, and the matter was filed in California.

From the complaint: "Southern Cross did not file a flight plan as required." No wonder they crashed!

I don't take issue with what you say. However, the CFRs give some ammunition to plaintiffs' attorneys: 14 CF §91.403 General. (a) The owner or operator of an aircraft is primarily responsible for maintaining that aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 of this...

The supreme court has stated that the standard for conflict preemption of state law is that the state law “stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment and execution of the full purposes and objectives of Congress.” In preemption analysis, courts should assume that “the historic police powers of...

Those are two separate issues. Clearly the sale of aviation fuel involves interstate commerce, which would give the congress constitutional authority to regulate, but it doesn't follow that states are precluded from also regulating the sale. You have to demonstrate one of the three types of...

Not sure about that. I had an FBO ask me prist or no prist. I fly a 177B.

I don't pretend to know what caused this accident. I will say that I was involved in another accident involving a Beech Jet where the cause was established to be one of the front seat occupants pulling the throttles to engine cut-off. Different jet, part 91, single pilot operation-- I know. I...

Generally, the primary policy pays the defense costs; not the umbrella.

What's the rule for use of the term "dumb-ass?"

Welp, looks like Alec has been indicted again. https://apnews.com/article/alec-baldwin-involuntary-manslaughter-grand-jury-indictment-866e52839780c1f6d75876298b191d91

That would not happen. Certainly not at only 30 degrees.

Why couldn't she push on the rudder pedals with her feet? Her legs would be perfectly strong enough to keep her pressed against the back of her seat so that all she has to do is pull the yoke towards her with her arms.

I wrote this a while back. Maybe you will find it of some use. Good luck. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/ifr-training-overview.76676/

Not sure what that Hundai was thinking. Clearly, the Cirrus has the right of way.
