I remember the days when being an airline pilot commanded a certain amount of respect and admiration from the flying public. And then I woke up and it was 2017. You got to admire this pilot for having enough self-control to resist the fight this passenger was apparently looking for.

Wasn't aware FedEx had modified it's DC-10s with ejection seats. Interesting idea though. This is an excerpt from a USA Today story on Oct 28th by Melanie Eversley. Maybe it was her attempt at humor or just an interesting choice of words. Not sure.

Free media coverage for Trump and Pence. Anybody know if the runways at LGA have the new engineered materials arresting system. Sure does look like that's what saved the day from the pictures I've seen. Guess I could look in the Chart Supplement US (new name for the AFD courtesy ICAO).

Another pilot doing their best during the holiday to promote goodwill towards general aviation. Hope the FAA hangs this idiot. They located the aircraft owner who says the airplane is leased to a DFW traffic watch company. The company had no comment...

Anybody on this forum notice the following in the proposed "Airmen Certification Standards for Flight Instructors." The FAA is looking for comment on them right now, so be sure to give them your opinion. Unless I'm reading this wrong, it appears that a CFI renewal will require a practical test...

I need some assistance from someone that still has a few brain cells. I've been studying for an eventual IPC and am currently looking at GPS database currency. Just about everything I look at states that the database needs to be current for enroute, terminal, and approach operations. Here are...
