This is really close to home. You may recall a pilot that had a (AA1A I think there called), crashed two winters ago tipping it over with minimal damage. Brake locked up I think was the cause he said. FAA made him do a 709? or something flight to get his license back. I watched him practice and...

I know I have this right and even after explaining it, it did no good. PPL ASEL no endorsements Can he log time as PIC in a HP or complex aircraft? Yes ref. to 61.51 (e) (i) Is the sole manipulator of the controls of an aircraft for which the pilot is rated or has privileges. I first...

Can a CFI-SP sign a tailwheel endorsement for a Private Pilot if the training is given in a tailwheel aircraft meeting the LSA definition? The answer appears to be no. It hinges on the definition of an authorized instructor: Quote: Sec. 61.31 (i) Additional training required for operating...

Does anyone have a favorite lesson plan. I have to do my lesson plans for class All I have so far is the Gleim to go by. It would be nice to have a couple of different variations to look at. This will be for LSA. Dan

I started SP CFI ground school today. So many things I had already forgotten. Not so much theories as words and definitions. I never did do any spin training and something came up that I was not aware of. I always thought a spin was a flat pancake type motion. nose level or nearly so. The...

I don't know if anyone has seen this or not. I just watched it and could not leave the room for fear I would miss something. HULU shows movies over the internet with comercials the way they should be 30 sec and very few at that. www.hulu.com/watch/49206/speed-and-angels If the link dosen't...

Pine wood derby is coming up I had to take a couple days off to build a race car with my grandson. We tuned the wheels and axles, cut custom flames, designed axle holders to keep it fast more than once. Or I could have bought one for $189.00 I am in the wrong business. We are painting...

This came up on an email group. Can I be PIC as a PP flying under LSA rules (I do not think he has a current medical). With a CFI in a C150? I know from earlier discussions that I think you can be PIC without a medical as long as there is a qualified Pilot at the other controls. something...

I have a Taylorcraft with an A65 Stromberg carb no mixture control. It has the steel needle and leaks a little. I just rebuilt it and tried to seat the needle better, worked some. Problem is the last owner must have stripped out the screen plug so it leaks there also. I have another Stromberg...

I just got back from delivering an older 150 to FL. I had the trip planned for stopping at cheap fuel stops. $3.65 or less. It did not turn out as planned. we did not make the first stop and had to stop at a small airfield. No card reader so we waited for someone to show up. $5.00 a gallon and...

I think I have it right but I thought I might get some input from some, on owner manufactured parts. I think an owner can manufacture a part if it is no longer avaliable. I was hoping you can manufacture one even if the factory still supplies it. The Taylorcraft BC12D has an AD on the...

I know there are some changes with the ELT's as far as what will be monitored and such, but what is going to be the regulations for flying with one. Are the old ELT's still legal or do we have to buy a new one. Dan
