The econmic impact of an airport isn't just on site t-hangers rentals or FBO services. Flight training, business air related traffic, business that operate near the airport due to the sevrvices it offers, etc... all contribute to the econmic impact to an area. It's kind of like the gas station...

Yep, muncipalties drool over a one time big cash infusion by selling the land to a developer without a care or consideration if the new developemnt really helps the community. All that matters is a few million in the coffers and some donations to their re-election funds.

"I'm a pilot that uses the airport." That's got to be the lamest talking point to use. Frankly the town councel wgaf. Econmic impact arguments need to be made demonstrating how their voting constituency will be impacted. Is that all AOPA that gets millions of dollars in memebership fees and...

I hope it is "just" the rudder. I would have an A&P check the vertcal stabilzer mounts and hinge points for hidden damage/cracks... which hopefully should all be paid for by the party that hit you.

Since when did the FAA ever care about deadlines, even those "mandated" by Congress. They ignored them whenever they want. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

In general I wouldn't worry about it, they'll eventually get caught... That said, the only part that would concern me is if they are doing it to avoid the voluntary noise abaitment procedures. While it is "voluntary", if they are the source of lots of noise complaints it can make it hell for...

He may also be fighting the 60 day revocation because of his Comercial Remote Pilot License. In the past the FAA has implied loss of a regular Pilot's License (certificate) means loss of comercial remote pilot too. I remeber discussions in how someone that holds both is at a higher risk as...

This is correct. There is a very large hobbist network with raspberry pie ADSB recievers world wide that gather and submit their data to websites like FligtRadar24 and ADSB Exchange whom display all the data, including N numbers they receive, regadless if the FAA blocks the N number in their...

OK, to play devil's advocate, not saying I like his design considerations, don't know the builder and don't have an idea of his capabilities... but this is the heart and sole of the reason for the experimental world to exist. Today everyone thinks of RVs and Kitfoxes and use the experimental...

Pressurized engine Mount... likely pressurized the tubes, if a crack develops the pressure will drop. Heard of it before but not seem it. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yes, 2nd this, follow bbchien's advice, he has helped many get their medical back. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

If you want to get into back country off airport flying, the West Coast has a lot more areas you can fly/play/land on. Lots of BLM land helps with that. If you want to be a pavement pounder, I can't help, all my time is desert southwest and TX gulf coast. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I would like to see the FAA offer to waive the fine if the city corrects the problem. This would encourage the city to fix it sooner since they would have to pay the fine if they don't. And the tax payer money that would of went to the fine would instead go to fix the problem. Sent from my...

Yea, like fist fights over mask mandates... wether you agree are not with the mandate, you sure as hell know well before getting on the airplane you'll be forced to wear one or get removed from the flight... ...I just don't get the attitudes sometimes. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Very true, a close second is comfort. Personally I never found an over the ear headset, even $1,000 Bose, that don't give me a massive headache in an hour or so of flight. This is where I fell in love with the Halo in ear headsets, light weight and no head clamping. Their passive noise...

I love my Halo headset, and for a headset they are cheap $379.00. I'll never go back to my David Clamps. http://quiettechnologies.com/ Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Does the Dakota have fuel bladders? Could be a fold in the bladder trapping water. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Vaping leaves a film on everything. Can't imagine it would be good on the avionics in the long run. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-vaping-residue/vaping-residue-can-transfer-between-rooms-idUSKCN1LQ1XH "...can leave a thin layer of residue from the propylene glycerol and vegetable...

Love my Halo, decent price, light, comfortable, no "head clamp" or "ear smashing" and clear audio. http://www.quiettechnologies.com/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
