Hello, I've searched everywhere and can't seem to get a firm answer to the following question... I realize that the MEA guarantees navaid reception along an airway, but does this mean it guarantees the reception of both navaids along the entire length of an airway if there is no changeover...

I've come to notice that many of the items on the checklists I'm using are unnecessary and add to the clutter. I've started to go through and *remove* items that I don't find necessary for the safety of the flight. Things like "breaks - held", "ATIS - listen" add unnecessary clutter to a list...

Half fuel on the low wing and a light slip to landing towards the low wing. Slipping for about ten seconds, fifteen max, when the engine quits on me. I quickly switch to the high tank but the priority becomes dead sticking her down onto the runway. Got her in safe. POH states to avoid prolonged...

I Am Finished - Got Myself Into a Very Bad Situation As a little background, I've been running a process serving company for the past three years and have about five years of experience in the business. Today was the final straw and a real wake up moment for me. I took a job far out in the...

Howdy folks, Any tips for a fledgling CFI who just passed his CFI-Sport airplane single engine land checkride? I'll be taking on a few students shortly, and would love some advice from the flight instructors on this board. Any important lessons that you would have for a new flight...

Howdy legal team. I need your interpretation on the rules here. I see that the experience requirements for a CFI-S certificate includes the following: § 61.411 25 hours of cross-country flight time § 61.1(4) "Cross country time means" Makes no mention of the definition of cross country...

Would it be in accordance with the FARs to carry a digital copy of one's medical certificate on Foreflight in lieu of the paper original, for example? I've searched the forum to see if this question has been asked before, but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Has anybody demonstrated this is possible? What modifications were needed and do they have a STC? The way things are headed, ethanol-free gas is becoming harder to find. Many Rotax-powered aircraft are running on standard ethanol-blended gasoline without any troubles. What is needed to convert a...

I want to know what you guys think the next big thing in general aviation will be? Suppose I had approximately $500,000 to invest in something general aviation related that would benefit the community as a whole. What would you put your money into that would provide a significant return on...

Hi folks, Has anybody visited this airfield? I'm looking to do some camping/hiking in the area. I love the sound of this place according to their website. Are there any landing fees? http://www.vosburghairfield.com/

I couldn't find this video posted here, but definitely thought it was worth a look. I would guess the pilot never knew or will know how close he was to an accident. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xFKsk8mPnPQ

I just got my private pilot certificate three weeks ago. I did the majority of my training on a 150' wide 5000' long runway. Today I found myself landing on a 60' wide runway, which as you may imagine seems rather small compared to what I trained on. I lined up well with the centerline but I...

I'm currently paying $108/hr wet on the hobbs for a Piper Warrior in Southern California. From what I gather this is a pretty competitive rate, but I'm wondering if anybody is familiar with a better deal in the area? Thanks!

Hello, I'm new around here! Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm currently at 20 hours logged and today I went up for my pre-solo phase check with an instructor other than my usual at our club to test to see if I was suited to solo. I passed the test without too many issues, except...
