    Had radio

    You're just lucky where you live - a lot of the "x.2" stations are other sister stations (like Clear Channel owns the oldies station and on .2 they put their rock station that doesn't have a dedicated channel in the area), but that also means there are commercials, sometimes from out of market...

    On Zoloft... How soon till I can get Medical Certificate?

    Not entirely true - while it is on the "approved list" it is approved on a case-by-case basis and is rare to get the approval

    On Zoloft... How soon till I can get Medical Certificate?

    Highly unlikely you'll be able to get a medical while taking Zoloft - while it has been approved, it is case-by-case, SSRIs are generally viewed quite negatively by the FAA

    ame medical question

    What I was alluding to, is if he has never flown an airplane, he may not like it - so go try it out before going through all the hassle of a difficult medical and make sure it is worth it to you

    ame medical question

    Wait to get it until you need it (1st solo). If you haven't started flying yet, there is no need to get the medical / risk be denied, especially with a good chance of Class III changes within a year or so. You probably won't be needing it until 10 or so hours in and you can still do a lot of...

    Twin Comanche forgets "gear down"

    umm ooops...I would have thought go-around instead of try and make it? I'm amazed the gear locked down in time

    Looks like Expressjet/Delta is fading some CRJ's

    Consolidation, instead of running 4 50 seaters, they are running 2 100 seaters...half the frequency, lower cost per seat mile...no competition means focusing on cost rather than the passenger...

    Daily apsirin

    light dose - baby aspirin there is a sweet spot so you don't overdo, but still get the same levels of effectiveness...there was a recent peer-reviewed study on this (I think in the last 6 months) that I'll have to find and the conclusion confirmed the small dosage idea

    Another letter from the FAA

    Approach it level headed - cool off before you send something you're going to regret. Either get someone who is qualified to look at it help you draft the response or be VERY careful not to give any more information than they request (make sure your responses are close-ended too or they will use...

    3rd class medical questions

    Like others said, just because you are not *currently* taking the medications doesn't mean you aren't going to have problems. I wouldn't be surprised if they require a psych eval regarding dependency and a HIMS doctor to push you through the system + routine re-screening and limited medical...

    Flaps during Engine Out Landing

    On my PPL checkride, the examiner did an engine out (pretty windy day) and when he thought I had the field made, he announced he was putting in the flaps. Needless to say, I didn't think we were going to make and the second I knew we were coming up short, I pitched down and retracted the flaps...

    Self-directed Investing

    I would caution on ETFs for inexperienced investors...they aren't as straight forward as an index fund, their rebalances can hurt, they have fees built-in, etc. ETFs are fantastic for getting exposure to things you can't really do at a non-institutional level, but it sounds like this is too...
