One of the exceptions to ROW during landing has always confused me. (g) Landing. Aircraft, while on final approach to land or while landing, have the right-of-way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface, except that they shall not take advantage of this rule to force an...

I’m looking for feedback from anyone who’s worked with CFI Academy in Lodi, CA. thanks

Does anyone know what that weird black circular attachment is on the ASA E6-B is? For the life of me, I can't see any use for it.

I like the aviationweather.gov weather details and it's my first stop when looking for pre-flight. The one chart I can't understand is the LLWS chart as part of the GFA tool. I get it that the further to the right in the color scale is "bad", but can anyone explain what these numbers mean?

So let's say I have a WAAS certified GPS (TSO 145 or 146) and a King KX 165a Nav/Com (which includes glideslope & localizer receivers). One day, I'm out flying in IMC and decide to request an ILS approach. While a localizer uses the same frequency range as a VOR, they are very different...

So I went flying a 172s with another pilot this weekend. It was a 2008 SP model. I noticed the other pilot used flaps-10 on every takeoff. I didn’t think much about it, but he also didn’t cleanup until 700 AGL. When I asked why – he said his instructor had recommended this. Later, during a...

Can anyone help me understand why the FAA classifies Carbon Monoxide poisoning as a form of hypemic hypoxia, while most of the scientific community classifies it as histotoxic hypoxia? And yet the FAA correctly classifies cyanide gas poisoning (from burning plastics) as histotoxic? Seems...

Looking for GA trainer aircraft rental in NJ. Open to 172, 152, Warrior, Archer, etc.... I'm open to leaseback if you have one available. Working on my CFI, so I need to fly right-seat There is a real shortage of rental opportunities here. Plenty of flight schools willing to provide planes...

CFI in training here (busy working up lesson plans). A friend of mine is a DPE and we’ve been having a discussion about the type of flaps on a 172. According to the Skyhawk 172 S POH, the flaps are a single-slot design (page 7-13). I believe they are therefore Slotted flaps. My DPE friend...

I normally fly out of the northeast, but was browsing around South Carolina's sectional chart today and stumbled across Shaw AFB in Sumter, SC (KSSC). If you review the chart, you'll see the airport is surrounded by a standard double-ring class C, but it has an inner ring that is class D...

I've spent 20-hours working towards my Commercial certificate with a local flight school but can't get an accurate assessment of the amount of time remaining (I have PPL ASEL, ~500 TT, >50 Complex, Instrument Rating, AGI, IGI). Unfortunately, I'm now in a position where time is a premium. I've...

I’m flying a rental aircraft with an older style Sigma-Tek AI (an s3326-1). Can anyone tell me what the marked but unlabeled positive pitch angles are? I assume they are 5 and 10 degrees of pitch but can’t find authoritative answer. Thanks
