I always go with common sense. FAA regulations have multiple interpretations depending on the bias of the reader, so does the FAA inspector that reads the same law. Anyone that have dealt with the FAA will understand this.

During IFR training, my instructor was always taking me into actual. I never logged it as PIC. Here's the reason why. If you decide to continue your training to an ATP and then fly for the airlines. At some point some one will take a real close look at your logs. If they have a problem with you...

It's hard to see in the photo, but yeas it does look like a prop strike!

I could be lucky are maybe good, I don't know. About 20 years ago I weighed about 250, ( I was on a see food diet). My doctor told me to lose weight to keep my medical, in 6 months I lost 30 pounds. It was one of the hardest things I ever did. I must of learned allot from that, because I have...

Congratulations. I found my Comm check ride to be the easiest and the funnest one I had.

My old doctor was very concerned about my cholesterol and he had me on medicine for it. He retired and then passed away and now I have a new doctor and the first thing he did was to take me off all drugs for cholesterol. I'v been seeing my new doctor for a year now and he still doesn't consider...

If you even think that your wife doesn't want you to do it, don't. After 30 years a marriage, I can't hide anything from her.

My toughest medical to get was my first one. Maybe because, I didn't know anything or maybe because that is the way they did it back then (30 years ago). The medical now has less requirements then back then. Now I never get the medical on the due month. I wait till the next month, so that for...

I do remember my primary instructor pulling power at 50 feet and then still land on the remaining runway. I think my instructor had a little bit of evil in him. He would leave a seat belt hanging out the door so that as soon as you became airborne you could hear them banging. I would say "what's...

Ditto!

Has anyone considered the pilot maybe had a medical problem (alcohol, drugs, stroke, heart attack, etc.). I have been to GRI maybe a hundred times. The aircraft parking is 50 yards from the crash site. Surely the pilot should of had time to do something!

ADHD is the biggest joke of the decade. Number 1 if you have it, you are not mentally deficient. The people who have ADHD are the survivors in a bad situation. As an example, if you are in the jungle, you need to be aware of everything going on around you so that lion doesn't tear your head off...

If you fly long enough you will be stranded somewhere. I had an alternator failure over Terra Haute Indiana on the way to the East Coast. I was at 7000 feet when I noticed the problem. Contacted the tower at Terra Haute then made a decent to the airport. I asked ground control if there was an...

I have owned the same 172 for the past 25 years. The first 10 years of ownership had me replacing almost all of the gauges, Some of the radios and had all the other avionics worked on. The expense was in the thousands of dollars a year. The last repair was for the autopilot at the expense of...

Merle's dead! Now what!

All you guys that think it only takes 30 mins to swing and inspect the gear had better talk to their mechanics. They can't do a quality job that fast. Just doing the wheel bearings would take an hour. I know because I worked in the shop with my A&P for years. He walked me through all the...

I'm fairly confident that I have had carb ice a few times. Cruising at altitude the RPM's slowly start to drop off. I apply carb heat for a few mins and then removed it and the RPM levels returned to their previous levels. When I do my runups, I check the end of the prop and if I see even a...

My first thoughts were Kissimee Gateway Airport Florida and Ft Meyers Florida.

It's not AHQ, I hangar there!
