    Basic Med question

    This is interesting to me as I am an AME. I have had problems with the FAA losing paperwork sent to them. Sometimes they find them, but usually after I send them in twice. Sometimes they don't lose the entire packet, just a sheet or two, usually the key page they're looking for -- like the...

    COVID vaccine trials and medicals

    As an ame, I have no guidance on the vaccine. We might see it after the formal FDA approval comes through, but I've never had anyone report childhood vaccines or boosters on their forms, nor have I seen guidance. It might be there. One thing I have noticed in the covid era is that they seem...

    DHS thinks I'm "suspicious", and probably you too.

    INDICATORS OF SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY INCLUDE: * A customer that does not want to provide any identification or provides identification from a Southwest Border state or foreign country. NM issues drivers licenses. In Detroit, there are some customs agents that are not convinced that New Mexico...

    TSA agent avoids screening

    Naaa. You miss the point. You see, in the Soviet Union, they used Marx's philosophy: from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. That way, everyone had a job. Some people's jobs were sitting at a desk by the door of a building. They were not there to be...

    Landing Gear

    My company manual required gear down and in the landing config outside the marker and everything stabilized for the approach. In VMC, or non-precision app. above 1000 ft. I've pretty much stuck with those rules.

    More TSA nonsense

    Purely from an old atom smasher's perspective, with a few mods, actually they still apply. With corrections for relativity and mass energy equivalence. In my work we incorporate most of Newton's laws with extensions to cover high energy particle physics, and by definition high energy particle...

    Ed McMahon Died..........

    I remember this episode. We were kids, far too young to be watching Carson, overnighting at a friend's summer camp in Maine. Four teen age boys hearing that roared loud enough to wake the parents. We were laughing until we cried for breath. I still remember it much the same way, but my...

    Pilot protests customs 'check' (from AVWEB)

    Got to agree with you here. A reasonable search is permitted under the Amendment. It hinges on what constitutes a reasonable search. I have been searched at gunpoint before, when going about my lawful business. Just never in the United States or Western Europe. I hope that never happens to...

    Pilot protests customs 'check' (from AVWEB)

    How silly of me to forget. We are actually at war on a number of fronts. War on Terror, War on Drugs, War on Illegal immigrants, War on Underage drinking, war on global warming, war on .... At least they haven't appointed an autocrat of great power, oh wait, they did, it's the Energy Czar...

    Pilot protests customs 'check' (from AVWEB)

    Oh, and I forgot. If you want to fly to DCA anymore, you have to allow the government to put an armed representative of the United States in your airplane. Sounds like quartering of troops to me, that takes care of the 3rd Amendment. Only 7 left to go and we'll be rid of this pesky Bill of...

    Pilot protests customs 'check' (from AVWEB)

    I think Bierfeldt v. Napolitano might enlighten us as to the extent of the problem with the DHS and its daughter agencies the TSA and the CBP. http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/39930lgl20090618.html The DHS/TSA/CPB is alleged in this action for declaratory and injunctive relief in a...

    Slightly Colorblind

    I know that the Farnsworth Flashlight is out, but I had not heard that the Farnsworth Lantern is out. Is that something out of OKC or is this something a RFS conjured up? Inquiring minds want to know.
