    Student curious about aviation career

    Not female, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. You sound like you are still young. Go out and do what YOU want while you still can. Don't worry too much about settling down with a husband and a kid. Things will happen when they happen. If you focus too much on one thing, you will miss...

    Austin Executive to get control tower

    Defne "private". Are we talking simply non-FAA/ contract towers, or are we discussing private in terms of a private corporation running it? There are a few NFCT's run by city/ county governments.

    Austin Executive to get control tower

    Dude you have no idea. I've worked here four years and can't for the life of me figure out why we're at the bottom of a damn hill. I frequently lose a/c in the ground clutter on 30R. Even worse on 12L.

    Chicago Control Tower

    PM me. I can get you the number for ORD. If they have someone available to escort you, you should have no problem setting up a tour.

    South Florida airplane rental for student pilot

    I was born and raised in the area so I am very familiar with much of what goes on in the crowded South Florida airspace. That said, I am fully expecting to have to go up with an instructor for a few hours to prove proficiency.

    Good morning POA I am a student pilot, current solo endorsement.

    Android apps

    I downloaded two Android apps: Garmin Pilot and DroidEFB. I plan on playing around with them both and deciding which I like better. I'm new to the nav apps thing. The biggest question I need to know is will either app allow the GPS feature to work without a WiFi connection? Thanks for your input.

    Commercial UAS operations

    Thinking of jumping into the commercial UAS scene. Anyone here familiar with the process of obtaining a Remote Pilot license? Can I take two written tests concurrently with each other (i.e. can my PPL written also count toward my RPO rating?) Any minimum UAS flight requirements?

    Cleared for takeoff at towered airport, when to turn on course?

    You know, honestly I don't think there is a particular regulation, as each Class D tower is different. Some are more proceduralized, others are more "seat-of-your-pants" type of operation. My tower falls into the latter description. I was trained to resolve conflicts then issue them a turn on...

    Cleared for takeoff at towered airport, when to turn on course?

    When I clear you for takeoff, I always say "on course approved". Once speed and altitude permit, you can make your turn. In my experience, that usually means right around the departure end of the runway. If l need you to fly runway heading so I can get you clear of my pattern, then I'll tell you...
