https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39976154/rockies-coach-posts-video-cockpit-prompting-faa-probe United Airlines in Trouble. Someone is getting fired. Reminds me of Aeroflot 593. Except this person didn't accidentally disengage the autopilot and kill everyone.

Having a debate with a friend of mine who is training to be CFI. On a 172/182 if the LEFT elevator came off mid flight could you survive it and land? I mean completely off, just ripped off, not jammed or flapping. I say Left in this hypothetical instead of Right because the Elevator Trim tab...

I know you can do an approach on a closed runway, as an example when you are circling to land. But if the whole airport is closed by NOTAM from X time to Y time can you do a low approach during the time it's closed? Not closed for noise restrictions, closed because it's middle of nowhere.

I understand the different medical types, first, second, third etc. And the frequency they expire. My question is about the examination itself. For third class if you are breathing during the examination you pretty much pass but how is second different? What else to they check besides making...

Sorry I searched and I couldn't find it... Flying IFR flight tomorrow with a friend who is PPL. Never flown with anyone who is a pilot before. How is this time logged? If we split the flying duties let's say 1 hour each. i log 1.0 hour PIC and 1.0 as SIC or just don't log it at all? Also can...

I am a low time instrument rated pilot, only have a few hundred hours. Trying to figure what the issue was on my last flight and if I acted appropriately. I was flying from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale in a rented DA-40 (G1000). Shortly after departure I noticed the voltage started to drop. I was...

I have a screen at my office that I can't turn off (reason not important) and want to add 4K Aviation Wallpaper Slide Show to it. Does anyone know where I can buy a 4K aviation bundle with thousands of pictures? I see dozens of websites with free wallpaper but you have to download them 1 by 1...

Don't see anything like it in airport diagram legend.

Looking to possibly acquire a twin if the price and quality is right. Under 400K. Any suggestions? Requirements is fast and quality, nothing else really. Quality meaning reliable and won't be taking monthly naps undergoing repairs. Don't care about payload it will be for two people, range is...

For Instrument rating I flew to an airport that is 45 NM away but I flew past the airport 20 miles then turned back to land straight in on intended runway. Does that count as Cross country or no since the airport of intended landed was only 45 miles away?

From the Movie Summer Rental. Never heard that term before all I know is microburst. Weather experts where are you? Video here if you want to watch what the plane does:

During Holding Patterns I sometimes miss the flag flip. If I am not staring right at it it's so sudden that I miss it and end up starting timer late. Is there any tricks out there to making it more noticeable? Or a beep or something? G1000.

Doing IFR training and concerned about not passing Checkride. Was curious if insurance companies look at failed Checkride to determine insurance rates? Not even sure if they have the ability to check that or not.

Would love to do Angel/Mercy Flight volunteering, something I have passion for, however after I finish my IFR training I'll be short on the 250 PIC requirement. Was reading the Angel Flight Manuals and it's states "Co-pilots are optional and not required" Was curious if anyone has ever...

Is there a way to mute the ATC radio chatter for co-pilot (passenger) but still allow them to hear and speak to me on intercom? I know you can do it for passengers in back so they don't hear the chatter but can still talk to each other but I am referring to co-pilot position. Specially what I...

Love the PlaneEnglish app but hate monthly scriptions. I like to be able to finish at my speed and also be able to go back months later to refresh. I am willing to pay a premium to have access forever so looking for an app like PlaneEnglish where you buy it and that's it. This is to practice...

My last certificate never arrived it got lost in mail. Moot issue since I got new certificate. This time around I am being deligient in checking iacra. The website today changed from "We are currently processing permanent Airmen Certificates for temporary certicates that we issued...

Surprised no one has posted this. https://www.wpbf.com/article/air-traffic-controller-explains-how-he-helped-a-passenger-land-a-plane-after-pilot-emergency/39961555 Guy had no flight experience I would have banged it in for sure.

Looking at Columbia 350 or other high performance single. Wondering does AC affect the performance and/or useful load of aircraft?

I just passed my PPL this week and plan to do IFR next but going to take a few weeks off as I am pretty fried. Anyway, I was wondering after you pass IFR checkride are you issued a new license? Or do you keep your old license? If you keep old license how do people verify you are IR during ramp...
