Nothing in Basicmed would forbid night flying, however 61.53(b) is always in effect: (b) Operations that do not require a medical certificate. For operations provided for in § 61.23(b) of this part, a person shall not act as pilot in command, or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight...

Color vision deficiency is not a "yes" or "no" thing, some people are slightly color vision deficient, others severely deficient. You need to find out where on the scale you fall. If you can tell the different colors of the lights in the airport environment and the red/white/green from the...

Doh! Mixing up hobbies...shooting and flying :)

The 150s' I trained in gave me 10-20 FPM climb at 40 deg and full throttle. Go around would be pretty much impossable. edit: FPS to FPM

My guess is an experimental Cessna180. Rv's are cheap, efficient "corvettes" for the sky... there seems to be need for a cheap, efficient "Jeep Wrangler" of the sky.

I did my PPL out of Santa Paula (with CP Aviation). While it is in a valley, most of the valley, and just over the 2000' ridgelines are mostly agricultural land. We used many practice areas: Just south/east of Filmore VOR, over the Ventura Pier, and valley just east of Lake Casitas. The...

CP Aviation at Santa Paula is excelent.

My GP didn't have any of the eye charts and such (at least on any wall or easy to get to) so I brought a copy of my current , signed eyeglass prescription and he was good with that. I know I am color deficient to red/green so I told him, he noted it on the form and that was that. OP: have you...

OP: if this only happened 8 years ago, all your medical records are digital and available, somehow, somewhere. Find out what doctors, what hospitals, what insurance company it was billed to, etc. It will take a lot of leg work but as the most qualified man on this board, bbchien said, you have...

OP, your asking the wrong questions. The top professional in this field says you have a 10 year ban. Accept it. If you really want to get a PPL, you need to be asking an expert, like Dr Chen what you need to be doing over the next 7 years to have the greatest chance of success. Just burning...

Wasn't Jimmy Stewart initially denied the Air Corp for being underweight?

This would be my only comment about my very limited time in the 120/140 compared to the 150/152/172's I've flown. Adverse yaw, if you turn just the yoke to the left, the nose goes to the right while the left wing tip falls. Gotta lead the turn with the rudder.

Find out how much insurance they want you to have. The FBO I rent at wants I think 5 or 10 grand, just to cover their deductable. I understand this, you total their $100k plane, their insurance pays them off less their $5k deductable, why should they be out $5k for what you did? I think I...

If you can't find the owner, the airport will probably have to place a lien on it for non payment of ramp fees. At some point they will own it and can sell or auction it off.

What you ask for does not exist. With just a CS prop you can get somewhat close(ish) with a Cherokee Six or Cessna 205/206/207

Fly with other CFI's if you can, everyone has a different teaching style and way of explaining things, sometimes that is what it takes for you to "figure out" how to do a maneuver correctly. I had this issue with with landings, my CFI just could not communicate what I was doing wrong or how to...

I work in the boat biz, and if you need something sealed and glued together, use 3M 5200, the fast cure version. Clean the cases well with acetone and a wire brush, lay a good sized bead over the joint and let it dry. If you can get it applied to a clean surface, and it cures before oil can...

My BP went from normal to stroke level in my early 40's for no reason other than genetics. Getting old sucks. Just get it controlled asap. As Dr Chen said, medication and a simple note from you Dr. will solve this problem in a week.

If that is industry standard, ask him to sign off on your BFR. If he says you didn't do an hour of ground, then ask him why your billed for it.
