I've been as high as 11,500 in a Cessna 172 with no oxygen or monitoring for a cross-country many times. Usually did have a 2nd pilot with me, flying under the hood/safety pilot. We agreed ahead of time if either of us started laughing or acting odd we would descend. Never had an issue. Not...

CYA?

Lack of staffing, mandatory OT, long shifts, burnout, etc. They simply aren't hiring and training fast enough.

I'm glad to see that is recognized. I'm sure there are people smarter than I that are involved in it. As to your brother's quote, I would certainly hope there was at least some reflection by those involved. I'd be more concerned about the people that weren't bothered.

Everytime I see RAF, my mind goes to the Royal Air Force before anything else.

I will play the Devil's Advocate here, although I am not commenting on the validity of the award in question. I believe there will be a unique psychological reality for drone operators that we haven't faced before. Now yes, the operators are not in physical danger, and they aren't facing the...

Reminds me of the late 90s early 2000s when car stereos had removable face plates you could take with you to help prevent theft.

Fences only stop honest people. Nothing a red handled "key" can't take care of.

More attention. Everyone carries a camera with them 24/7, things get posted to social media, network media trolls social media for dirt. I've been in the industry for almost two decades, and its always happened just no one found out.

First hand account from a former co-worker. According to him there was much consternation from the pilot, as the passenger was not his wife.

I know of an incident like that. An aircraft came in at an undisclosed airport and forgot the gear. Once it slide to a stop, the two occupants evacuated immediately...sans clothing. The fire guys had to keep them away from the aircraft "for their own safety".

The question always is, did the pilot know he was going to have a gear up landing or not?

It really depends on who owns the lake. Some are owned by the US Corps of Engineers, state, county, city, or private. Each will have their own rules.

If you sell now you can avoid capital gains altogether. If you hold it and rent it for a few years, any future sale of the house will be subject to capital gains. Being a landlord does get old. I helped my parents with it when I was younger, and I've done it myself for the last 17 years. I...

I can understand your point, but what happens if and when the club is dissolved and the assets are disposed of? Is it divided among the current members?

Sightseeing flights that start and end at the same airport are not considered a carrier.

Can't blame Boeing or United for that one, just straight up pilot error. He waited until he had less than 3,700 feet of wet pavement before trying to slow down. I've also seen Cessna Caravans barely stop on 5,500 feet of runway because they touched down over halfway down the runway. Must...

Have to add a scissor lift to my flight bag for preflight, right next to the flashlight and fuel sump tester.

So Club 1 has dramatically undervalued their equity. That is why the two aren't comparable. That is like a company selling their stocks cheap, because "That is what they always were".

I've never understood how servo tabs were ever allowed to become a thing, like on the DC-9/MD-80 series. There is no mechanical linkage to move the elevator, and no way to do a proper control check on the ground. This has led to two MD-80s in the last decade having high speed aborts and...
