This might be a dumb question but if a pilot is from, say, Europe.... would I be able to find him on the FAA airmen database?

In Vegas and saw a Spirit on departure. He was at 2000 AGL and his gear was still down. Any thoughts / news?

We all get those statements all the time. It’s been beat to death. And we ****in hate it. But I just realized something ... I do it too. My dad was paralyzed from a motorcycle accident. And to this day, any time someone I care about tells me they ride, I tell them to be careful because my...

I’ve seen just about every make of car available as a rental except Honda. Any idea why?

So there I was, flying into KSAN last night. After Dana Point, around 6pm local, ATC said to prepare for an alternate airport as there was an emergency at KSAN and the runway was not available. After about 10 mins, they gave me vectors for the approach into KSAN. I haven’t gone through all the...

I’ve never co-owned, and I may or may not go that route. I’ve read about it and everything is pretty straightforward (structure, expenses, etc.). However, one thing I want to understand better is scheduling. Right now I own my own plane (well, my company does.. whatever). I have sole access to...

Question... why are there so many planes just slowing dying in their tie downs? It's sad for several reasons, but who just lets their planes rot away? Flat tires, rust, loose parts, worn "covers" and just so many indications that the plane hasn't been cared for in forever, let alone flown...

title should be self explanatory. Edit: Aerial tour that is

I love watching YouTube vids. I can't help it notice how many people mess up the orientation of their headsets! For example, Bose A20 has the mic coming off the left... why do so many people mix it up? Am I missing something? Does it really not matter?

Crazy turbulence around SoCal lately. How long will this keep up?

My kids love flying with me, and I want to give them more things to do (which they're totally open to). On my last trip my daughter helped with: -preflight -reading pre-takeoff Checklist items out loud -changing radio frequencies What are some other things they can do to assist?

I couldn't sleep last night and got to thinking.... why do we preach no IMC at night? If I'm on my instruments, what difference does it make? I can see if you have a six pack and ****+y terrain data / situational awareness. (Technology can be your friend). But if you've got, well, more advanced...

I'm planning a trip today and I'm wondering how accurate the cloud top depiction in aerovie's vertical weather profile is. I've just never used it Thanks!

It's a short distance but that airspace. Whew. I could file IFR but that seems a bit overkill. Is there a local best practice on how to do that? Thank you! @ircphoenix @SoCal RV Flyer

I can mix different anti ice brands right? Killfrost on top of AVL?

So the Bay Area has pretty bad weather (for us). It's cold, icing levels are relatively low, we have clouds and precip, Airmet Zulus and icing PIREPs. In another thread I mentioned that I recently picked up ice on the leading edge in full IMC, even with the FIKI on. Found VFR conditions, told...

So I've decided to do a commercial rating, er, certificate. Not because I plan to fly commercially... there are so many other benefits (required reading, studying, maneuvers, etc etc). Keeps me fresh, adds experience, and dammit I just love flying. I have instrument rating. Seems like there's a...
