A pilot who is a private pilot lands on the runway gear up because he forgot to put down the gear while receiving dual instruction. He was flying a typical traffic pattern in a plane he owns and has many hours in. The pilot had a current flight review at the time but a discussion wasn't had to...

I've heard that a Continental doesn't require a tear down and inspection as a Lycoming does, but looking at Continental's Service Bulletin SB96-11B it looks like it requires it. Anyone know if this has changed since the past?

At Napa airport (KAPC), it looks like a typical clearance is to SGD (Scaggs Island VOR) then the filed route. Looking at the graphical ODP NAPAA it has you climb southbound on the R-165 radial until reaching 3,000, then back to SGD VOR, where you could proceed on course, possibly north on V87...

I have a student looking to obtain their Private Pilot and they have a dirt strip on their property with their own plane. I looked into my NAFI Avemco insurance and it doesn't cover it if it's not designated as an airport. Avemco said it will cover the owner as owned policies don't have this...

How much "hangar rash" is acceptable, especially on flight control surfaces or trim tabs? Does it mention in the service manual how much can be dinged/bent/twisted/etc? I'm also wondering if it's straightened, but you can still see where it was previously bent (it's not completely flat)...

Take a look at this video, this was moving it fore/aft, but it had the same movement up/down: https://goo.gl/photos/HCyPkdfqJpMMaC8N9 I'm curious if anyone has seen this before, and if it's most likely a simple bushing replacement or if it's damaged the elevator mounting holes...

So in 91.185 for lost comms it says "In the absence of an assigned route, by the route that ATC has advised may be expected..." In talking with someone else, they thought when you lost comms and had received a clearance such as "Direct ABC, expect direct DEF in 10 minutes", that you would fly...

I have a student who accidentally left his student pilot certificate/medical in his clothes when he washed them. It's readable and is all intact except the certificate number seperated (he still has it and it's readable, it's just not attached). Does he need to get a new one? I tried the FSDO...

I've been trying to find more info about flying drones for business, the closest I've found is: https://www.faa.gov/uas/faq/#qn4 It seems you have to have a pilot certificate and obtain an experimental airworthiness certificate for the drone? They don't seem to mention size, what if it's...

I was just curious on this, what would cause it so that when you press one rudder pedal (without using any brakes) to the floor it doesn't steer in that direction, but the other side works fine? Is this a cable/bungee problem? Also, what are the limits on how bad this can be? I've been in some...

Does anyone happen to have a scanned copy of an Aerobat A150M manual/POH in pdf form? Thanks
