    [NA] Pay by the job or by the hour?

    It's all a matter of who assumes the risk. In a "fixed-price" contract, the risk is on the provider of the service. With a "cost-plus" contract, the risk is on the buyer. When buyers want a "fixed-price" contract the price increases to account for the added risk on the provider.

    Ditching

    If this thread wasn't here, I wouldn't have read Paul's article which was illuminating. I'm willing to put up with some silliness to get some real value. YMMV...

    If you had 3 months to travel in your plane, where would you go?

    +1,000 to all above! When I do the Lewis and Clark Trail I'll fly back and forth to Alaska from the NW and then down the Pacific coast highway to LA and then Route 66 back! Probably lots of detours in there as well. Going to be epic!

    The most frustrating aviation scene of all time?

    The scene in "Horizon Line" where the passenger climbs out on the wing to refill the fuel tank with alcohol WHILE THE PLANE IS FLYING! Of course, you can pretty much pick any scene from that movie - yikes!

    Cleared for “RNAV 9” …but which one Z or Y?

    coma24 - Thank you for a great explanation. My only question is you state "...OR it was an oversight on the controller's behalf" and "There's no need to ask" given a situation like the OP described. How would a pilot know if it was a potential mistake if we don't clarify in a situation like this?

    Pilot Veterans!! Any truth to letters being sent out in ref VA DISABILITY

    There's another aspect of this ... if you are a "disabled" Veteran, you can set up a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned, Small-Business (SDVOSB) and gain all kinds of benefits in the Government contracting world. This is VERY lucrative for those that participate. Like what has been said, no one...

    182 Transition

    Congrats! I also have a C182F and love it. I bought mine 18 months ago before I even flew one - only flew 152s and 172s before and knew I wanted something bigger. Best decision I made as I got it right before the crazy price hikes. I was also only required to have 1 hour of dual for insurance...
