I have using the ASA Oral test prep guide for over 30 years. Was going through the lastest version and it occurs to me it is twice as thick as it has gotten a lot more wordy on a lot of the answers making it harder to figure out what the "short answer" is. I thought it was wordy enough when I...

Weather 10+miles visibility, 4000ft AGL ceiling, outside temp at 2000ft AGL 15F. Was early morning flight, just before sunrise. At 1st I thought it was just snowing south of us due to the reduced visibility ahead, but when we turned it turned with us and I thought it was the windshield...

A Question I like to ask when doing flight reviews is... We start teaching Inadvertant Spin Avoidance almost from Lesson #1. Why or What Factors lead pilot to continue to have Stall Spin Accidents? There obviously are a number of factors, but pivotal altitude is one of them, and often we don't...

Hello POA experts:) I have had a student approach me that just purchased as PA28-140. actually he was referred to my by another even heavier instructor... With the 2 us together we weigh about 465lbs. With the current weight and balance information we have the only way we can even get it close...

I have said one of the cool things about flight instructing is I get to fly a lot of different airplanes and people pay me to it do it. True this is not every flight instructors experience, but doing it part time and specializing in Tailwheel aircraft has giving me a lot of great opportunities...

Any body know anything about this Kidwell Conversion? Mostly want to know how it is powered, am a bit suspicious it is a hand pump system, but it might have an electric pump, or even and engine driven pump I am not seeing. Anything else I should know about how it works before flying one...

Last week I got the following instructions from ATC shortly after passing Adexe.... Fly heading 110 intercept V4. Easy to do with the VOR. But how do I this with only the GPS? I sometimes fly planes with just a Garmin 400 or 420. What I really need to know is how to tell the Garmin 430 to...

Based on some recent discussions of base to final Stall/Spins and Accelerated Stalls I created a video of an Accelerated Stall in a 172. This was part of my investigation as to why it seems the spread of the stall warning and the actual stall seems so much wider than during an unaccelerated...

I think there is a lot more going on with accident than many pilots realize. in Part for example: (your sample Flight Review question) If you were going to take off from a similar airport , with that airplane, and a full load, What is the highest altitude you would attempt this take off from...

Did I miss the discussion about this proposal here? https://safeblog.org/2022/02/19/cfi-experience-renewal-no-expiration/ Since I just called the FSDO to renew mine today, I am thinking I really like this idea. Short Version is instead of having to have a certificate re-issued every year...

I don't normally use Foreflight (I am to cheap) But when training people that do I have I noticed the winds aloft data they come up with often does not agree with other official sources (Like 1-800-WX-Brief). In the attached photo the verified data on the right shows the winds aloft at 24K to...

In the "Ask me your hardest checkride question thread" I asked about the *L in the airport data block. it was answered correctly "Lighting Limitations exist" The often correct but wrong answer is it has Pilot Controlled Lighting. the *L does not mean that even though that is often the...

Ted’s Thread is working on being one of the top longest thread and I have enjoyed reading it especially as my (spoiler alert) own motorhome adventure began. So here is my own thread. To I keep it lightly Aviation Related, I primarily use my RV’s to attend Soaring Competition and Events Warning...

Been flying behind a Lyc IO360 regularly for the past few months. 1st for sure event, fueled the plane ran it up, all ok and parked it. Next morning taxied out for departure at 1800rpm mag check was ok, but was just a bit rough and #2 EGT looked a bit off (I think colder than normal). Tried...

I am planning some training for a friend of mine that purchased a Mooney and is based at Flabob. Below is the long version. But here are short version questions for local pilots… What airports are best for practicing Takesoffs and Landings near Flabob? Any tips/tricks/recommendations for...

Note that is a Semi trailer sized Conex container they had parked there when it smashed it. Brian

Did a Flight review this morning. Sitting at the airport eating Brunch. In the past little bit have watched the following planes. Long-Eze C185 Amphib. Glass Air III Kitfox Seneca 172 Husky 182 150/150 Carbon Cub (x2) DW10 (I had to look it up to, and am even well familiar with Dean Wilson)...

A bit of traffic today Kboi atis: pattern work not available, practice approaches not available due to reduced staffing

New experience a few nights ago. Did a cross country flight to Council,ID. On downwind I instructed the pilot I was teaching to activate the pilot controlled runway lights so they would not turn off while we were landing. Seconds after we touched down the runway lights turned off. We clicked...
