    Commercial Pilot Training

    For the purposes of training, night is 1hr after official sunset-1hr before official sunrise, IIRC.

    Jet Crash at Greenville Downtown Airport

    That's a pretty bold rumor to be spreading without reliable evidence. Probably best to refrain from the rumor mill on this one.

    PPL Privileges and Carrying of Passengers

    And OP, as long as the expectation of actually getting to the meeting is managed, I say go forth and enjoy your Chik-Fil-A sammich in peace.

    PPL Privileges and Carrying of Passengers

    It's considered a good time! And don't log it, Mrs SkyDog might audit the log book ;)

    iOS 12 - Update!

    Not without jailbreaking the device (if that's even still a thing).

    iOS 12 - Update!

    My mini2 is performing well using FltPlanGo App. I'm pleased so far, but I think this is just kicking the can down the road. I will need to update eventually.

    Randolph AFB mishap

    Thanks for the clarification regarding flight controls. Good to know not all is lost in the event of a hydraulics failure (I think you had eluded to such a flaw in the T-38 in a different thread).

    Randolph AFB mishap

    I see your point, and respect your opinion. With that said, you are missing the big picture completely. Culture problem in the AF? Maybe, but DoD is more accurate. I can tell you from the "trenches" level, it's not us wasting your tax dollars. Look at your election ballot in November to...

    iPad Mini death watch, 9/12/2018 edition

    I've upgraded to iOS 12 on my mini2 and am pleasantly surprised (so far). I'll hold off on the mini4 for now.

    Randolph AFB mishap

    WTF. Again, WTF. PLEASE, stick to flying "robust" lawnmowers with "relatively low landing speeds and inertia" and avoid, at all costs, any piece of heavy machinery that has potential to harm anyone other than yourself. You have clearly demonstrated with your comments here that you cannot...

    Looking for a 1:100 scale CRJ-700 . . .

    Give this place a shout: http://atlantic-models.com I've been in several USAF Squadrons that used them for going away gifts. They also have a robust inventory of die-cast models as well.

    iPad Mini death watch, 9/12/2018 edition

    I mount my mini2 with a Ram suction out to the left side flat-is portion of the windscreen in the C172 when I fly IFR. Works well for me and doesn't obstruct the view of the instruments. I too am hoping for a mini refresh, but I'm nearly convinced it isn't happening. I use an iPad Pro (the...

    Air Force Warrants

    The establishment of online education was what enabled me to finish my undergrad in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, it was helpful being in AMC and being able to knock out assignments while the other FE babysat the panel for a few hours while at cruise, and then submitting said...

    Recommendations on DC area FBO's Outside SFRA

    Yeah, the gov't system is tedious. If it doesn't work out for your timing, then I guess you have to do the best you can. Just understand that Stafford to SS (and back) at the wrong time of day can cost you multiple hours of transit time. Otherwise, the SFRA has a bigger bark than bite, so to...

    Recommendations on DC area FBO's Outside SFRA

    Stafford is still a hike to get into DC just to avoid SFRA ops. I fly out of Tipton (KFME), but would lean towards GAI for Silver Spring/DC visits. Trying to get from NoVa to anywhere north in a reasonable amount of time is more of a pain than any airport inside the SFRA.

    "Required crew" time logging question

    Pretty sure that requirement is in each company's OPSPEC approved by the Feds.

    Oshkosh - 2018

    Just heard a dude in a Bonanza call up saying he couldn't find RIPON. Wow.

    Fuel in AZ 105 degrees

    If your fuel system is healthy, there will be no issue (other than fuel coming out of the vents).
