    Customer service rant

    Publix has gotten pretty bad. Slow, indifferent checkers, produce going bad on the shelf, constantly rising prices and a lot of the BOGOs are gone, coupled with an average (at best) bakery and the most overrated thing about Florida - their subs. Publix at this point is getting on par with...

    Too bad the roof wasn’t compromised and didn’t cave in under him.

    No delay

    Taxiing at a brisk walk is a decent guideline for student pilots. Otherwise, set taxi speed for the situation. It might be reasonable to taxi at a toddler’s crawling pace on rough grass or a busy ramp, but on a 200 foot wide taxiway where you’ve got a mile and a half to go, something closer to...

    Best way to prepare for a flight to a new area.

    One thing I do is look at the airport on Google Earth from overhead and side angles, and see what there is nearby that could be mistaken for the aiport.

    Which airplanes are you most excited about potentially being available in US under MOSAIC / mLSA rules?

    Forget any of those planes. I’d like to see MOSAIC include expand8ng the repair and inspection courses and certification you can get for LSAs to cover all MOSAIC aircraft.

    Multiple Recent ATC Errors...Why?

    In just 1100 hours, I’ve had three runway incursions, all at non-towered fields: a helicopter hover taxi across the runway seconds after I announced taking off on the CTAF (than God my first instructor taught that upon lining up, look both ways and confirm that intersections are clear before...

    How much have Trent Palmer's legal costs been?

    The best assessment of a client’s case I ever heard was from a 25-year public defender counseling her in-custody client (I was a deputy sheriff assigned as a bailiff, so sitting right next to them in the courtroom). “You want the cops to stop f-ing with you? Then quit doing stupid s—- and acting...

    Enough jobs for the student pilot population?

    A fair number of those are foreign students, headed back to their homeland as soon as they hit 1500 or whatever is required to drive an ATR into a mountainside.

    Deltahawk update from S&F looks good!

    Would pilot qualifications, experience, proficiency, and single pilot vs. full-time professional flight crew have anything to do with it?

    How much have Trent Palmer's legal costs been?

    Absolutely. Administrative, civil, and criminal law should be treated the same as far as judicial proceedings and standards of proof. To convict someone in a criminal case, a jury (or judge, if waiving a jury trial) must unanimously agree that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt...

    Fatal - Fort Pierce, FL KFPR

    Prelim is out: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/194006/pdf Looks like the right engine had problems - fouled and worn plugs, worn parts on the throttle control. Plus the decision to go around on one engine, with gear and flaps down, instead of land...

    Deferring Marriage and a Family to fly professionally

    Don’t marry, and especially don’t even think about having kids unless you are 100% positive that you want that to be your life for the rest of your life, no matter what happens. Don’t marry or have kids to make someone else happy, but do it because this is your life and you want them to be your...

    Any Rans Builders or flyers here?

    Definitely sit in an S-21, and more importantly have your passenger (if yiu have a regular one) sit in it. The S-21 has a hump on the floor midway between the seats and pedals, so the passenger either has their toes on the pedsls, wedged in between, or their legs are scrunched up. Other than...

    So two baseball players in 40 years crash and that means that they, as a whole, have poor judgement?

    My Glider Club Impressions...

    It’s about being the new guy and fitting in, finding how you relate with the rest of the group, saying less and giving the established members the chance to say more. It’s covert questioning and directing the conversation where you learn more about them than you might’ve had the convo followed...
