    Checkrides cost how much? Really?

    Because he’s not flying a jet.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Wealth distibution (the title), as opposed to wealth accumulation seems to be at odds.

    Why didn't ATC tell him to take a hike?

    We all need to be good neighbors. At times I have been delayed for slow aircraft. They also need to understand the reverse (delays). That said, I’ve seen many ATIS that said “no practice approaches”.

    Another AOPA failure, IMO

    I never served, so this is not about me, but…. My dad (who passed 22 years ago), was in the Army Air Forces during WW2. For whatever reason he was never sent to theater. He did everything the Army asked of him, and would certainly have gone into combat if that was his orders. He received an...

    Plane crash on FL freeway

    My response was more for the folks asking about it… But thank you for the highly thoughtful response.

    Letter to the FAA re Digital Clock for IFR

    I may be in the minority here, but I like CC letters. It clears up ambiguity. Perhaps they seem incorrect, but at at least you have a standard of which to abide. Note: when I was in the GA world, things were much simpler. No internet to discuss how to log, etc… In the 121 world, I don’t give...

    Converging from opposite sides

    Just curious.. what were the winds?? I’m a 20,000 + hour ATP that fly with copilots who can’t do the geometry (math) to figure out which runway is into the wind.

    Which is harder to land? Tailwheel or Glider

    Seriously… a tailwheel is an endorsement because it’s basically takeoff and landing. A glider is an entirely different way to fly.

    Which is harder to land? Tailwheel or Glider

    I should add that I could do it for hire seeing as though I’m a CP in SEL.

    Which is harder to land? Tailwheel or Glider

    I have 0.2 PIC tailwheel time, with ZERO landings and ZERO takeoffs. It was for my CFI spin training in the 80’s. I could be mistaken, but I do believe I am legally qualified to fly a tail dragger as PIC with no further instruction. Cannot say that about a glider… :insert sarcastic smiley here:

    "Wing comes apart in the air" - yes, more hyperbole

    Hyperbole or not, that’s not good. And, seeing as though the slat is subpart of the wing….

    Turns around a point in a low wing

    Oh my…. Just cannot believe what I’m reading. See my earlier post. It truly is the answer. Google it… PLEASE.

    Turns around a point in a low wing

    Bank angle for downwind/upwind segments. Crab angle for crosswind segments. On the crab segments the wingtip will be in front of or behind the point. At least that is how it was taught in the 80’s.

    Commercial Long Cross-Country C150

    Off topic a bit, but when I did my ATP you needed to schedule a logbook review with the Feds… then needed a Fed sign off plus a class 1 medical just to take the written. Times have changed…

    I got hired !

    Do not take the skills you learn into future jobs. Skydiver pilots have a set of rules that do not blend with other aviation jobs. My first job was a skydiver pilot. Always expected to cut corners and fly somewhat erratically in the pattern. Congrats on the job, not trying to diminish your...

    Customs trouble

    They must allow a US citizen into the country. They can penalize (or try to), but they cannot deny entry for citizens.

    Why is it a mystery small airplanes crash more often compared to professionally piloted airplanes??
