    Plane Crash - Crozet (Charlottesville), VA

    Single pilot VFR in a jet, low(ish) ceiling, at night, in an area of rising terrain - what could go wrong? The weather in the area of Afton Mountain seems like its always bad. Actually, its not the first CFIT at Buck Elbow Mountain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedmont_Airlines_Flight_349

    New Melanoma Diagnosis

    / Congratulations, on your good news. This is a great example of the benefits of Basic Med. I had to go through the SI process for mine: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/melanoma-and-my-medical.40254/ It took countless hours of my time and probably about $4K all told over 5...

    FAA written exam; Interpolation is tripping me up

    It’s (just) math. 28.55 is half way between 28.5 and 28.6 What’s half way between 1,340 and 1,244? 1,292. Same thought process works for all interpolation questions.

    NA How to buy an ethernet switch

    HP commercial grade switches have a lifetime warranty. Well worth the extra $ in my opinion (after having (non-hp) switches fail on regular basis).

    CTLS down in Queens. One fatal :(

    Looks like he made the whole trip at 1,000 ft.: http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/n622bt/#7e426b3 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N622BT/history/20151104/2353Z/KPNE/KPNE Does he go down right where the 500ft Class B floor starts? Maybe started descent and somehow lost control...

    Trust Law

    Oops. LOL. There is an ISO HO endorsement that handles this issue when someone transfers title to their house to their "living trust", but that doesn't sound like it fits your situation. Maybe talk to an active t/e attorney there and find out who he or she uses for insurance. Finally, don't...

    Trust Law

    Interesting that answers are all over the place in this thread, but: - The laws governing trusts vary from state to state. - Common law trusts are not separate legal entities which can sue or be sued. The trustees are the proper parties. Trusts do not own title to property, trustees do. This...

    Federal Estate Tax - Rant

    Actually, worrying about titling of assets and using trusts is no longer necessary. The estate tax exemption is now "portable" between spouses. The unused exemption of the first to die may be used by the second to die. The description in the quote above of a credit shelter trust is also...

    Federal Estate Tax - Rant

    People's excitement over the federal estate tax always cracks me up. It effects very few people. Under current law, a couple can pass on almost $11,000,000 free from estate tax without any pre-death estate planning. For persons dying in 2012 less than 50,000 estate tax returns were filed and...

    Thinking About a Boat

    Sorry to hijack a little bit, but: For some dumb reason I have the urge to buy a boat. I know nothing about them though. I did sail a little a long time ago. I live in Philly and would keep it in the water on the Delaware River. I would just want to cruise around a little bit on the river. Put...

    Herb Hortman RIP

    I just saw that Herb Hortman passed away last week. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150529_Herb_Hortman__57__airplane_pilot.html He ran Hortman Aviation at Northeast Philly and was a B777 captain for Continental/United. I only met him a couple of times. He was a nice guy, and - it seemed...

    ADS-B vs. TIS-B Questions

    Wow, I was more confused than I thought. Many thanks to those - especially John - who took the time to respond. More questions: - Does the signal emitted by the GTX330ES trigger the return "hockey puck" of traffic information around my plane to be included in the ADS-B signal received by my...

    ADS-B vs. TIS-B Questions

    So probably dumb questions, but I’m confused. My club just had a Garmin GTX330ES transponder installed in the plane and connected to the existing 430W. The 430W is now showing traffic. Pretty cool. But I have questions: - Is the 430W only showing TIS-B traffic (and not ADS-B...

    3rd class mdical re-visited

    The FAA's position on melanoma is that one of the places that it is likely to metastasize is your brain and that the first sign that it has spread to your brain is likely to be a seizure. This is why a (medically unnecessary, expensive) yearly MRI of the brain is part of the melanoma SI process...
