Alright, so I work for Southwest. Obviously, since I'm on this forum, I'm a pilot myself. Additionally, prior to southwest, I worked for two other airlines and had nearly five years of experience working in the GA industry before that. Tonight, we had a plane come in. We offloaded it like...

After a five year hiatus, I'm finally working on my PPL again. (First the hand-me-down truck my dad gave me died, prompting a newer car purchase that needed to be paid off. Then my parents kicked me out.) Anyway, before I solo, I'd like to get both upset attitude and actual spin training...

Question says it all. Just found a plane with a tow hook that appears to have popped open in last night's 50kt gusts. Is there a way to lock it shut so it can be used as a tail tie down? Before anyone asks, its parked at the airport I work at. I have the authority to retie it.

I have two friends that are CFIs. One owns an R177 Cardinal. The other owns a Citabria. I'd like to ask them if they would be willing to teach me. The only issue is: thier insurance does not cover primary flight instruction. So, I had an idea. What if I paid the difference between thier...

I work at Tipton Airport (KFME), in MD. We just had a charter pilot back taxi from the mid-field turnoff and taxi to the end of runway 28 before turning around to take of. My question is why? There is a taxiway running the entire length parallel to the runway and no one else was using it.

Just a thread for any useful tricks, tips, advice, ect. related to aviation.

S--- night last night, s--- day at work today. A conversation tonight I will remember. While I was at work, my "baby" sister (13) went horse back riding for the first time and liked it so much she wanted lessons. $500 for 13 lessons on top of the $90/ lesson they (my parents) already pay for...

Someone explain this logic to me, please. Evidently, as an aviation major at a community college, I am required to complete a communications course. Okay, well, I've been talking (using grammatically correct English, is I might add) for the past 15 years. Judging by the fact I made it through...

Right now, I'm a student pilot with approx. six hours under my belt (and VERY slowly building time.) Back in January (before I found this forum,) my instructor and I started practicing stalls. Like most student pilots, I HATE stalls. Learning the procedure to recover from something is only...

This is my first post, so sorry if this has already been "posted" to death. Long story short, I am a college student working a minimum wage part time job for 17 hours/ week. My parents are fully supporting me and my flying lessons. Any ideas on how I can offset what they are paying and both...
