    "cessna" down in NOLA/KNEW

    Very sad to hear this. I have taken a few lessons there. Very nice airport and people there. Yes, the lake has claimed more than a few lives.

    NA - Classic Cars

    I love old stuff that just keeps on working. My rotary phones kept working throughout Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, when power was out for weeks (so no cordless phone service) and cell service went dark. My Royal typewriters work fine (and there's a US vet-owned supplier of new...

    [g]Holy gun valuation, Batman![g]

    Me too. Mostly a revolver guy. That newfangled design from 1911 is probably just a fad. :-D The Kimbers are well regarded. I'm no connoisseur, but I've only heard good things.

    Interesting. Never saw a fitzed 1911 before, only wheel guns. Nice collection. :-)

    Do my eyes deceive me or is the bottom one fitzed?

    Arrest for the first time...

    Are you saying "it did not involve a motor vehicle whatsoever. Atty seems very confident that he CAN get all of this taken care of."? If not, seek new counsel. :-)

    Cessna 172 engine out while on the ground.

    Is this the same school that wanted you to sign the waiver? Sounds like strike two.

    Heartbreaking. ATC sounded very composed under the circumstances.

    Student Pilot has to sign a death disclosure on an intro flight?

    Right. They can sue. They just might not be able to win. Anyone can sue, either pro se or with any lawyer who will take the case, possibly subject to Rule-11-type sanctions if the suit is found frivolous.

    Student Pilot has to sign a death disclosure on an intro flight?

    See post 27. The form generally says it binds your estate, you heirs and assigns. As midlife and some of the others have noted, these agreements sometimes hold up in court. The widow's case gets dismissed.

    Student Pilot has to sign a death disclosure on an intro flight?

    Such a form often seeks to bind your heirs and assigns.

    Student Pilot has to sign a death disclosure on an intro flight?

    OP, you can always try to find another school that does not require a death waiver, or you could take the waiver to your attorney and have it checked out. Strike offensive provisions and sign. Or if all provisions are objectionable, move on. I routinely strike out provisions I don't like...

    Thanks, AuntPeggy. Count me in the camp of people who do see this as history in the making.

    PPL Written test prep

    I agree completely. I take it for granted that to be a competent private pilot, I should understand and be able to apply on the fly (literally) 100% of the material on the written. Isn't that why they ask you at the oral about the stuff you missed on the written? :-) Of course, the prep...
