Waiting for a flight out of Denver and HLN was on in the background. They had a segment on how airline crashes contribute to pollution. So glad to see they could really see the big picture after the Air Asia crash.

Unfortunately it was not before he could sign me off. He took a job with Cape Air so I'm excited for him. I was his last student on his last day. We had a nice flight with near perfect weather. One interesting thing we did, and when I say interesting I mean it made me pucker a bit, was a...

A friend of mine is wanting to setup a semi-realistic cockpit for a simulator. He's a pilot but has been out of flying for several years. I think I'm slowly pulling him back in. Anyway, he's wanting dual throttle/prop controls, control yoke and rudder pedals as well as a touchscreen or 2 to...

After doing well on my written I figured studying for my oral was going to be a piece of cake. I'm just starting to realize how much I need to know. I understand that I whatever I don't know I should at least know where to get the answer. Any tips would be appreciated. I've been studying the...

http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140814/PC16/140819674/1180/two-people-killed-in-mount-pleasant-plane-crash-authorities-report I only knew of one 150 at KLRO and it belongs to the flight school I train with. My CFI would have been in it. It turns out the other flight school had just...

I visited this airport over Easter while at my parents' house. Really a neat place. Not sure how the pilot clipped the trees. http://www.allnews1067.com/common/page.php?pt=One+Dead+in+Rabun+County+Plane+Crash&id=38704&is_corp=0

I had to make several long trips this week for both personal and business. First leg was 4.5 hours. At the 1.5hr mark I told my wife we would have been there. Next day was a 7 hr leg and 7hr back the next. At the 2 hr mark I casually mentioned we'd be there. She wasn't amused that time...

I no longer have to use the rudder during takeoffs. At least that's what it feels like. When I first started I would swear I would take almost a 90 deg turn to the left during throttling up. TNGs were the worst. I do notice that if I take too long off between flights I don't coordinate like...

As long as the weather blows through this weekend as planned. I have Wed and Thursday of next week set aside for the plane so hopefully at least one will be nice. Heading out of KLRO (Mt Pleasant, SC), to AGS (Augusta, GA large and pretty busy class D), then over to AIK (Aiken, SC my hometown)...

I left my lesson yesterday thinking today was going to be a wash. Rain was supposed to be rolling through. CFI thought the same and we actually pushed a short ground lesson to an hour past our original scheduled lesson. When I got there a little early the weather looked OK for the time being...

I'm partnering with a good friend on a Cardinal and trying to figure out the best way to do it. Keep in mind I'm a student pilot. We have done several deals with a handshake, but pretty sure that's not the best way to deal with a plane. I have already paid for the hangar for the next year and...

Lots of stuff mixed into my lesson today. Gps turned "off", sectional handed to me shortly after takeoff. Short xc to the nearest grass strip which was perpendicular to our flight path so I was pretty much on top of it before seeing it. What an experience as far as the actual landings and...

After fighting the weather since day 1 of my training I got an absolutely perfect day to fly. The wind sock didn't move once the entire session. About 10kts aloft but it was smooth as glass. 2 quick landings with the CFI neither one perfect but he hopped out and said go practice. So I redeemed...

My CFI just sent me this site showing the wind patterns around the globe. Sorry if it's a repost. http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=-78.19,12.70,891

A couple designs. Looks like they may want to hire an aeronautical engineer before going any further. http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2013/11/20/google-flying-cars-zee-aero/#18174101=0
