In my experience, most DUI cases are handled by Dr. Nathan Teague. One reviewer. One opinion. The FAS doesn't look at it nor does Dr. David O'Brien. Teague is king and if he reads your documents incorrectly (and IMHO he does), you're screwed. Welcome to the world of AAM-300. It sucks...

https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/medical_certification/sportpilots/response4/ If you have a condition in which ou know will cause you to fail a medical exam, you’re prohibited from flying Sport Pilot also.

Given the recency of the event (4 months), I think this is going to be a hard sell to the FAA. If you had a few years of sobriety/stability under your belt, this would be easier but not with only 4 months. To the FAA, that’s like walking into rehab, still suffering DTs and asking for a...

I would say that it depends on how far out you’re going to be. If the sightseeing is off the end of the runway, I’d just file from the airport. Anywhere else and I’d recommend filing from a fix within the same airspace sector. You want to make sure that you know which departure controller to call.

I checked out the rules for Morris Aero and it seems like you cannot rent for more than 4 hours on a weekend and cannot take for multi-day on a weekend. Kind of restrictive to me, but I own and am looking for info for my students. Trogdor, if you're thinking about starting a club, I might have...

Short period, in this case, would be 1-3 years. Pandemics take that long to play out. People who have a heart attack have to change their lifestyle permanently (diet and exercise) or face another heart attack, that’s not short period. Seems like you’ve made up your mind, so I doubt I’ll be...

It sounds like what you’re advocating is a coup. That would make us more of a banana republic than we’ve been, even recently. Authorities are the people you elect to be so. Experts are the people who spend their lives training for these kinds of disasters. I do not expect that authorities...

Changing lifestyle for a short period of time during a global pandemic doesn’t constitute “not living” in my book. It’s just a matter of being responsible. I’ve taken up an old hobby, fishing. I’m going more often than I used to go flying and my daughter enjoys it more than flying so there’s...

Obviously, I can’t speak for everyone but I know of absolutely no one in the Tristate area that went anywhere in the past 5 months. Not saying there won’t be people breaking the rules on all sides but I’m, certainly, not one of them and neither are the people I associate with. This virus takes...

That makes it clear why the rest of the world has this virus under control and we’re just letting the virus spread like wildfire. In Italy, there is a saying “Your freedom ends where everyone else’s begins,” meaning, what you do in public has a very real impact on my freedom. It’s a shame...

As a New York City resident, please STAY HOME! Legally, you will have to quarantine for 14 days if you're coming from one of the states on this list: https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory . Lets leave the politics aside, we had a really rough ride here in NYC for the past...

Report the visit... no biggie.

I've had three alternator failures in my plane. The first was the most interesting. I LITERALLY lost the alternator. It's belt driven at the rear of the engine. A bolt broke and the alternator rotated. The alternator belt, somehow, kept spinning around and gouged a fuel line!!! Yikes...

Agreed. My comment was more to the point that an aluminum airplane is more susceptible to damage from hail, but a fabric airplane is more susceptible to damage from sunlight.

Hire.... for what???

That's exactly what it was intended for when it was introduced, but who knows what they're using it for now.

This is kind of a dumb question, but I'm curious so I'll post.... NYS didn't comply with whatever TSA rules for license compliance for years and so we all need to go down to DMV and prove our citizenship to get a "Real ID" (oh, and we get to pay more for that privilege, yay!) DMV was...

Same here. My only issue is taking instead of giving. If I were at the airport and you asked, hell yeah, I'd help and ask nothing more than the actual cost (not double). However, just taking.... nah, I think that's a bad idea.

Knowing what TYPE of aircraft you're buying and where would be an important factor. I was tied down for a number of years, but it was an all metal airframe in an area not usually prone to violent storms or hail. A light, fabric, plane (piper cub), I'd think twice about putting in the sun...

Now that NY and NJ are closed, the flight school I teach at has grounded all activities. I still plan on going out in my Bonanza for exercise but I worry about being able to get my annual done since it expires at the end of April. edit: I'm also worried about paying for the annual since the...
