    Good FAA Medical Examiner in DFW Area

    Dr Kramer is another good one, if you decide you don't like Fried. Kramer is on the HIMS list for what it's worth. http://flightphysical.com/dr-kramer-s

    Need multi engine time - How did you build your multi hrs?

    I got my multi engine rating at Redbird back when it was under $1000, then promptly got my MEI and started instructing. I couldn't afford to fly a twin on my own dime, so it was all instruction or as safety pilot. Eventually I got a gig (through the flight school) doing pilot services for a guy...

    Line up and wait / Position and Hold

    What I love over there is the line up on the runway behind landing traffic instructions.... And then they tell the guy behind you to line up behind you on the runway, and the landing guy is still on short final!

    Proper readback for approach clearance?

    That depends on the box... Not in ours. I saw an article somewhere recently regarding that, in the US controllers do not receive the acknowledgment back if you do have an ability to send one for a PDC. At least I think that's what it was saying.

    Ball flag notes

    I got this back from Jepp - Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. The ‘1’ in the ball note should be white. We annotated our master 16-1 chart to have it changed to the correct color the next time the chart is up for revision. Best regards,

    Ball flag notes

    I sent Jepp an email with pictures... Didn't feel like calling today. If they actually respond I'll let you know. Dave we got to fly the ILS, but we were looking at the NDB just in case!

    Ball flag notes

    Why is the 1 in red? The note that corresponds with it isn't. The 1 in the same place on a different approach, with the same explanation for #1, isn't red. :dunno: I can't figure out how to make a link for the picture work, so attached a few pictures...

    Scholarships!

    Thanks Spike! How do you get more women in aviation? I had a call from a professor at a local college this week asking me that... If we knew the answer to that we'd have more than 6% female pilots.

    Questions for professional pilots.

    My degree is in Animal Science. The usual response on interviews has been a laugh followed by "well that's good, you'll know how to handle everyone!" (corporate pilot)

    ATC Phraseology Re Specifying Airport vs. VOR in Clearance

    It sure wouldn't hurt to file an ASRS. There are definitely opportunities for confusion in the system. How about Charleston VOR (HVQ) and Charleston Airport (KCHS)? If you have both of those in your flight plan and get cleared Direct Charleston, better query! Though some controllers call the...
