    DRONES UAV'S - Any chance they could spark more interest in general aviation?

    I know my criticism has been pretty tough on the whole Drone thing, but after getting one of these things and messing around with it (DJI Phantom 3), I wonder if they might actually bring new life into general aviation. There is only so much that kids can do with these things, I would think they...

    Close calls with my drone and airplanes!

    This is crazy.. I have had 2 times now in the past week when flying my drone 300-400' AGL almost been hit by an airplane. I sure as hell don't fly my airplane that low other than take off and landing. I even got a picture of one guy going right past me at 350' AGL, maybe 200' away :yikes...

    I got a DJI Phantom 3 Drone. What is my outlook on these things now?

    I just got one of these things. A DJI Phantom 3. I couldn't stand the thought of them being in the sky with me as a pilot, so I figured I better give it a shot and see if my opinion changes. I registered it with the FAA, which I have to say was a little intimidating even for me as a pilot. It...

    :( Going back 1 year ago from today 10/13/2015

    I have no clue if the past 12 months are any worse than previous spans. It just really feels like this year has been really bad. I count 158 Fatal Accidents in the USA since 1 year ago today. I got this data from a search on ntsb.gov website. Not sure if this search link will work, but if so (...

    What ratings would I need?

    Jim owns a TBM700. He is not a pilot. Jim wants to hire me to fly him around in his airplane for his business.

    Why is this seen as a crazy landing on news sites?

    This just seems like a good normal crosswind landing to me! CNN: "Pilot makes scary sideways landing" http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/09/26/plane-landing-wind-dusseldorf-airport.youtube-com-cargospotter/video/playlists/planes-near-miss/ They are calling this scary?? That's not...

    Finally made it into the flight levels

    Had the opportunity to max out the cirrus at FL250. My previous best was 17,000'. I was not comfortable the entire time, and likely wont be doing it again unless weather forces me or I am flying in something pressurized. I did not like wearing a full face mask, nor the constant added stress...

    Like hopping into the wife's mini van

    I've been flying so much that I feel way to at ease. It literally feels like I am walking out the front door and taking the wife's mini van to the store for milk. This cant be good. I am about 450 hours now and no longer get that feeling in my gut that I used to get. I'm kinda getting worried...

    Thunderstorms w/IFR. Go high and dodge the large buildups or go low IMC?

    I will make my own call, but looking to see what you guys think you would prefer if planning a trip in these conditions. I would normally just stay low and dodge the storms, but looking at the forecasts tomorrow, they are predicting some IFR and low ceilings along with thunderstorms that will...

    Shipping a treadmill, how can I get a good freight price?

    I sold a 200lb treadmill and made an assumption based on what others are asking on ebay for shipping of $150-$200. I went with $200 for shipping. I have been getting quotes of $400-$800 to ship this thing I sold for $350. I can't believe it costs $400 to ship a damn treadmill from WV to Denver...
