    Can they log PIC? :D

    Yet another logging question.

    Definitely counts as Multi time.

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    It varies, mine was full price again if I failed. I put some extra effort in there.

    When does dental work become reportable?

    Ugh, I was writing down all the cleanings to report on my next medical!

    Pilots fired for letting playboy model fly

    I watched the complete video and can say a few things. First, that girl is considered attractive over there in the same way Kim Kardashian is considered attractive over here. Enough said. Of course they didn't let her fly or take off the plane as the media reported (both there and here)...

    Questionnaire on the effect of experience on risk perception

    What I'm not sure I understand is that on top it says: "As an anchor, you should assume that driving a car on the freeway during the day in good weather has a risk score of 50" Given that statistically speaking, flying an airplane is more risky than driving a car on the freeway in good...

    Income and aircraft survey

    Add a question to that survey for this guy: "Are you adopting?"

    Nastiest airports you've flown in...

    It is, do it, but go with the instructor first and do a couple of landings on 35 before you go solo, just in case...

    Cessna 150 or 152 for rent in Connecticut?

    I trained at DXR and that's what my instructor used to say. Haven't tried anywhere close to that many fields, so I wouldn't know. The approach to 35 is interesting. The whole final leg is down a valley, tower can't see you. You can't see the runway for half of the leg (or the airport for that...

    It Looks Like There Is a New CFI on the Board!

    My DPE didn't even touch my logbook after the flight, I had to make the checkride entry myself later at home. I liked the guy though!

    When to switch to tower frequency

    Thanks for the responses, and thanks Jesse for the reference! That pretty much puts the issue to bed. Doesn't get any more clear than that.

    When to switch to tower frequency

    Two different instructors, at two different fields, told me opposite things, so what do you think? 1) One told me to stay on the ground frequency until I'm ready to ask for takeoff clearance. So at the run-up area, or holding short, through all the checks, stay on ground. 2) The other says...

    Job hunting tip #1

    Write a short intro in the beginning describing yourself. Pretty much just saying what you are good at, what you worked on, and what you want to do with your career. Then after that comes the facts (education, experience, and all that).

    On a mission

    This is the way I was taught (without the Mickey mouse thing). Never started with the AI. My instructor said a faulty AI is probably the reason I end up in an unusual attitude in the first place, so use the others.

    Parable of Leadership

    I would think it's a better idea to have insurance if you are going to try that. You bet the one legged guy is not going to run!

    Is this alleged F/A 18 pilot + CFI a fake?

    I'll try... I heard before it's a good idea, I just don't like the feeling of glasses on my face. I guess I have to get used to it anyway for when I get old(er).

    Is this alleged F/A 18 pilot + CFI a fake?

    Ha, same here, but I still use them, I don't care. I don't wear sunglasses much anyway, they pretty much stay in the car since I only use them for driving (only if the sun is really in my face), and to fly (unless it's cloudy).

    80% of Americans...

    Now I have to ask, what happened with the whole trans fat issue? What went wrong there? They pushed the trans fat in hydrogenated vegetable oils as a more healthy alternative to animal fats for years and years. No one thought your body could tell (or at least it wasn't mainstream). Turns out...
