    The only runway they have open right now per the NOTAMs is 13/31C.

    Worst controller ever?

    I'm curious why he didn't just do the ILS.

    Climd and Descent Rate

    For the maximum, I try to avoid more than 1,500 ft/min. I have gotten RAs before cause I was light and climbing like a bat out of hell. The plane leveled off at the assigned altitude, but because of the high rate of climb, we got an RA.

    Corona Virus and Oshkosh?

    They just released the initial list of performers today. My guess is it is still on. Sun n Fun released a statement that it is still happening as usual.

    Do you Teach Touch & Go's?

    My instructor had me doing touch and goes on lesson 2. I remember doing them on my PPL checkride as well. I'd have no hesitation teaching them to a new PPL student.

    Comm Gyro add-on hours required

    I keep hearing people tell me that the minimum required hours for the Commercial Gyro Add-On is 25 hours. Yet when I look at the regs, it looks like it is actually 30. Am I missing something?

    Flew through a TFR.

    With how much he is on the move, I make sure to check TFRs and NOTAMS every flight. Especially here in the Northeast, even if I am going from KVAY to N14. Use to not be a problem when I learned to fly 10 years ago in the midwest. President didn't usually make his way out there.

    PAR Approach at KMAI

    What are you guys set up there for? Strickly to train controllers? Why not use an already established Class D airport?

    How dangerous is hot air balloons?

    Second time I was asked by a friend if I could crew for their friend coming in town for a balloon festival. Said I obviously didn't have to fly if they offered. I agreed to help out. When it came time to fly he wanted me to get in the basket to put some weight on while they got the local paper...

    How dangerous is hot air balloons?

    I've flown in a hot air balloon twice. First time we hit powerlines, burst into flames, and I got 2nd degree burns on my face and arms. Balloon went up in flames. Second time was actually quite pleasant! So my opinion on them is 50/50.

    I thought those mil-spec $10,000 toilet seats were just a joke...

    Having to fly between McGuire AFB and Ramstein in the middle of the night. Having that cup to heat up water for your French press filled with your favorite Philly coffee at 30 degrees West, worth all $1,300!

    How to fly from SYR to ART?

    Well if I fly a teardrop at 100 knots it will take me about 3-4 minutes(1 minute outbound, 180 turn, leg inbound), give or take(dont feel like doing the exact math). For the arc at 100 knots, the leg from ART to ZIRAX alone will take about 7-8 minutes.

    Around the world in a Piper Lance

    15 hours in a single engine plane...solo... over open water...is no joke.

    Route planning to avoid philly approach/dep corridors

    Oh well, only added 20 miles to your route. I get re-routed all the time. Especially around here(I fly out of McGuire). When I get a long clearance, I usually keep tracking my current heading/course to waypoint until after I read it all back. Then plug the first waypoint in. If I have time to...
