    Wichita Out of 100LL

    I was parked at Yingling at ICT over the Labor Day weekend. They were a little vague about it, but said that it was not hurricane-related and that an incoming fuel shipment had been contaminated with metal. The same contamination was found at the other FBO, Signature. I hopped over to Augusta...

    FAA loses drone registration for personal use

    Not sure that's the law that governed. The court said Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act prohibits the FAA from promulgating “any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft.” Section 336 defined model aircraft as "unmanned aircraft that is — (1) capable of sustained...

    FAA loses drone registration for personal use

    I'm not very familiar with it, but I think the court needs a primer on "model aircraft." Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Amazon wants airship warehouses to base its drones

    Even if they get this beast off the ground ;) they still have to get clearance through Class A for each delivery, with separate squawk. Good luck with that. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

The adjacent 172s were improperly aligned and it looked like my wingtips would not fit between the other 172s' wing tips. So I just chocked...

    Busted Bravo

    A couple of years ago, I launched from a little airport under the Indy Charlie airspace and was quickly climbing up to 2500, which is where I typically fly in NJ to stay under the outer ring of the NY Bravo. I was about 2300 when I checked my chart and saw the floor of the outer ring was 2100...

    Easiest NY access?

    Yep. KMMU avoids flying over water. It's a nice a/p, in a nice part on NJ. Don't know about the latest on fees, but the last time I was there, Signature waived overnight fee with fuel purchase. From MMU, taxi or Uber to NJT station in Morristown (10 minutes), then train to NY Penn station...

    Homeowner threatening pilots, report?

    Assuming you're in the right, and I don't see anything to indicate that you're not, this still poses some difficult issues. That home appears to be worth several million dollars and the owner could have a fair amount of influence with local law enforcement. If you're intent on flying there...
