Is that as crooked as I think it sounds? Backstory: this whole prebuy logbook ****ing contest going on in another thread got me to thinking about an experience I had about 15 years ago... there was a flight school that was opened up and operated by a MD11 copilot... he at some point was able to...

Ok.. just double checking with the masses here... My last medical was a 2nd class dated June 2003. I've not flown since 2006 or so. My age at the time was 32. I'm now 44. My understanding then was 2nd class was good for 12 months, and then was good for 3rd class privileges for a longer...

Whats the failure? Wastegate? https://imgur.com/r/flying/XxtsiM1

It looks like the vast majority of 3rd class licenses will no longer need to be issued... Part 91/non revenue with 6 seats or less and 6000 lbs or less. Any how many airmen are affected out of the pool, and what this will do to the AME pool? Think a lot of the family doc types doing this will...

http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2014/06/04/pkg-pilot-says-he-swallowed-cocaine-on-911-call.kprc.html Career dissipation light.... just went into overdrive.

My buddy is sitting on a plane waiting to dispatch, and apparently the ACARS system is down over the oceanic portion of their route. UAL.. to Tokyo.. Trying to understand why that is a no-go... is it about flight following requirements?

So once upon a time I took a few written tests and passed, but did not finish the rating associated with them. I think I am talking about 10 years ago or so. At what point do previous test results no longer factor in future test attempts. I seem to remember that one had to retain the test...

Return to flight... planning software.. E-logbook... After an 8 year hiatus I plan to return to active flying soon. School is finished, starting a new gig, my debt is resolving. I've got the local flying club lined up, an instructor, a plan for a special issuance medical, and of course I still...

Just out of curiousity was looking to see if mentioning Adolf Hitler (Hilter) was still verboten-schpeak.... ;)

Ok gang.. Most who have followed me know I'm an inactive pilot, a career healthcare guy (paramedic, nurse and any day now will be a nurse practitioner) and a pretty regular contributor. One of the things that is required of me as a nurse in my particular institution is an annual Tuberculin...

I'm sitting here at the whataburger next to the motorcycle shop getting new tires on the Harley and was browsing the forums... And started thinking about what would constitute an epic troll thread. I'm thinking an overhead approach while slipping with flaps on oxygen at Leadville in a King...
