Last evening I got a caution wake turbulence callout from ATC for a 747 that departed after me but was on a converging path. Obviously when the alert was issued ATC had no way of knowing exactly how much vertical separation there would be once our paths converged. Realistically there was...

I'm referring to operating cost. Everyone seems to know that a newer airplane is cheaper to operate than an old one. But is this actually the case? Presume we are talking about a 4 place trainer, i.e. C172 or Cherokee 180 or similar. Lets presume that we are talking about keeping the airplane...

C-GEWK went missing on 4-14-2022. The pilot had recently purchased this plane and was flying it home to Alberta. 2 People on board. Flightaware and flightradar24 both record the track but the altitude is missing.

I thought not, but there is an RV-10 listed on controller.com that says in the notes: This airplane was built professionally in South America. It has an N tail number so it is US registered currently. Is there some loophole that allows a plane to be built by professionals outside the US and then...

I am a student pilot with around 40 hours. My landings are still not as good as I wish. I recently purchased a GoPro camera, which has been helpful in reviewing exactly what I am doing wrong. My biggest problem is occasionally touching down with the nose too low. Sportys course on landings says...
