I went down the anticollision light rabbit hole and I wanted to put my scenarios and assumptions out there for comment to see if others interpret this the same. First, as a reminder these are the pertinent regs: FAR 91.205 (b)(11) Day VFR For small civil airplanes certificated after March 11...

Complete noob here! I purchased a 1950 C140A (w/ C-90 engine) and got right to work borescoping my exhaust valves. All compressions are in the 70's. I'm certain this topic will generate a lot of discussion and debate, so please...go ahead tell me my engine is about to eat a valve or that I'm...

I'm working with a student who has a PPL Glider certificate and wants to add on a ASEL rating. I've been able to find an endorsement in Circular 61-64H that I'll need to give him so he can make solo flights. From my research this is the only endorsement he needs, is that correct? If you're...

If I want to learn to fly tailwheel what are my options in Tennessee?

My flight school requires a passport AND government issued photo ID to demonstrate U.S. citizenship. The way I read 49 CFR Part 1552.3(h) is only ONE of the listed items is needed to show proof of citizenship. Am I wrong? I cannot find an TSA interpretation on the matter, but I have found...

While I was being grilled in prep for my CFI checkride this question came up: do tailwheel airplanes have the same turning tendencies as tricycle gear plane? To which I said, hmmmmmm. IDK So, after a bunch of research here's what I think I've discovered. There's not a lot of info to be found...

I feel like a total newb, ok I sort of am. But I did just pass my IR checkride so I'm not a total fool. Anyways...I joined a flying club and the C172 has an s-tec 40/50 autopilot. So naturally I checked out the POH for the AP but it is not intuitive. I need an Idiots Guide to how to use this AP...

Just a note to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the good and helpful discussions which helped me pass my written today with a 93%. I think the testing computer was from 1995, I'm not joking. I was quite surprised at the antiquated testing system/interface! Very distracting. It's like...

While practicing questions for the IR rating one question I came across stated that "holding pattern entries are not mandatory". Is this accurate?

I'm prepping for the IR check ride and the 172 I regularly fly has a wild DG, it has to be reset to the compass every 5 mins. The DG is so unreliable that when given a heading I track the heading on the GPS instead of holding the heading on the DG. Even with a working DG you could have a wide...

Last week I shadowed a 100hr inspection of a 172R that I rent. I have many questions as the A&P was very grumpy and not ready to answer questions, so I just observed. To my surprise I learned that the engine is 1,000 hours over it's TBO. Two of the cylinders were labeled "dead" by the A&P...

I'm entering the hot debate of rent vs buy with what seems to me an overlooked factor in every thing I've read: If you rent you're giving money away. If you own you have an asset to sell. An example, say you're going to spend $20k (airplane rental only; instruction fees excluded from this...

This probably sounds like a total noob question to ask, and it is, but I've got my head all twisted around about car seats for kids. I was reading the FAR's and got bogged down in a bunch of jargon about approved kid seats -- honestly I couldn't make sense of it. I have two questions: 1 - Is...

Seeking recommendations for instrument online course. Considering King Schools but the quality of videos and interface seem archaic. Sportys boasts HD video, is it better?

Hi, new to the forum. Already have found many great posts and have learned a lot. So first I would like to just say thanks to the community for contributing and generating an amazingly useful place! I'm a low time pilot, 100 hrs. I first got my license over 15 years ago and have only flown...
