Just saw this from a couple of days ago in my email. I looked for it and can't find it. If already posted just delete. I expect the first reply to be a link to where it's posted. lol. A Texas court has ruled that online allegations made by controversial YouTuber Dan Gryder against Texas pilot...

Excerpt: In the latter two cases, AMEs will need to defer the exam of the pilot or controller and put it in the FAA’s court to deal with. With similar conditions, the FAA will require what is often expensive medical testing before they will issue the pilot medical certification...

Those of you that live in the Atlanta area, what is the cheapest place to rent planes at PDK? I have to move in with my mother in law who lives just around the corner from PDK while our house is renovated for a couple of months. I fly a nicely equipped 172 in a flying club now in Thomaston...

A question about cross country time as I'm transferring my physical logbook info to myflightbook. I have a commercial certificate with an instrument rating. Since cross country for the purposes of part 135 minimums is point to point, and doesn't have to be 50nm, and since I have no rating to...

So those that have the CFII, how difficult is that rating? I imagine you should know instrument rules backwards and forward. Do you have do demonstrate flying under the hood from the right seat as well as instruct the DPE while they are under the hood? Also, how does the length of the oral...

The club 172 just had dual G5s installed (and the 430 upgraded to WAAS). The heading bug doesn't move very fast on the HSI when twisting the knob, and it could be a little larger or more visible to these eyes. Is there any way to change the speed of the heading bug when twisting the knob and...

MORRISVILLE, N.C. — Despite statewide and county stay-at-home orders in effect, Blue Line Aviation, which operates a flight school right beside the air traffic control tower at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, continues to operate during the coronavirus outbreak. According to an internal...

Falcon Aviation Academy in Newnan, Peachtree City, and Athens GA. The virus finally took it's toll. They didn't have enough money to keep operating. Here is a letter to employees. Website is already shut down. http://faa-air.com

I was looking at Sheppardair.com and see the FII (flight instructor instrument airplane), IGI (instrument ground instructor), and FOI (fundamentals of instructing). Are all 3 needed? I also see the AGI (advanced ground instructor). Seems I remember reading somewhere that as far as the ground...

Our club is going to upgrade our 172 initially with a G5 (in the HSI version) and a GNC 355. We have an STEC 30 with altitude hold installed already. I know the G5 has a built in GPSS. Is that all that's needed for the 355 and STEC to work with each other since there is a GPSS, or do you still...

This happened a few days ago but couldn't find a previous post. Ignore if posted already. :) _______________ Franky Zapata already has a world record to his name, for longest hoverboard flight. But the inventor and daredevil just wasn't satisfied. So he decided to fly his hoverboard—actually...

Couldn't find this posted. I saw it on Reddit. This Youtuber documented his CAPS deployment. Well after he crashed in the wilderness. Video starts with old footage from another deployment. He doesn't start filming until after he crashed.

Interesting video. Obviously in some areas we decline as we get older, but in some areas we actually improve. This actually made me feel a little better about some things I've been experiencing. :D

A little over an hour long, but a very interesting video. I had no idea about how a lot of things work at an airport, or things that even went on when running an airport like Atlanta. Many things I never even thought about. Worth a watch if you have an hour of your life you don't need back. :D

This is a pretty good audio interview with steveo1kinevo just published on 2/15/19. He goes into a little more detail about why they came down on him (in addition to his aviation history, etc), what they made him do (take a 709 ride, etc). The FAA part starts around the 5:45 mark...

Is there any way to get rid of the info strip at the bottom in FF when viewing an approach plate? And no, it isn't on in my map view. Jut pops up here for some reason.

I have a friend who has never flown and wants me to take him up. But he has a three-year-old daughter that loves planes and is wondering if he can take her. First of all, do you recommend a three-year-old in the backseat of 172? And if so how do you elevate her where she can see? Do you put...

So I got my commercial! Passed the commercial checkride yesterday. Actually it was a do-over from last week where I messed up on my landings. Did the cross country portion, hit my checkpoints, then did the deviation. When we got to the airport the first landing was the power off 180. I had it...
