    5 years...

    That's how long the FAA holds an expired N number before releasing it to the "available" pool. Seems pretty ridiculous to me.

    What twin do I want?

    Milk run would be to/from a 2750' runway to a 3000' runway, both narrow but paved, both a few hundred above MSL so never see more than 3000' DA worst case, and neither have IAPs but nearby longer runway airports do. The shorter runway has significant trees (130') a couple hundred feet from the...

    Filing to destination without legal approach

    Can a /A file to a destination airport that only has an approach (RNAV) that the aircraft isn't equipped to fly? This assumes that the weather is known to be VFR at time of arrival.

    Agile/Scrum cert ?

    So I'm currently "in transition" as the HR types like to call it. Soooo many positions in my area are SW and I'm basically a HW/product development guy with degrees in both computer science and EE and decades of eperience. You'd think the phone would be ringing off the hook, but my SW...

    Mid-western courtesy

    Happy Mother's Day! 'murica. https://www.jsonline.com/videos/news/2018/05/14/video-captures-wisconsin-dells-water-park-melee/609685002/ But the real issue is: when the hell will people learn to film their drunken holiday melees in landscape mode?

    SECRET Clearance

    So I'm "pursuing other opportunities" and I've come across some interesting ones but they require "eligibility to obtain Secret Clearance." Not a fan of being investigated by the Feds but maybe I'm just paranoid about being charged with perjury by our overly enthusiastic DoJ because I messed up...

    No trim allowed?

    Saw the following youtube. Comments are interesting. Apparently it has now become commonplace by instructors and examiners to not allow trim to be used in performing steep turns. New one on me; I was taught (and practice constantly) that trim is my friend. What's with the current, er, technique?

    New PA28 AD

    Just received notification that there is a new AD going into effect in two weeks that affects PA28s. Apparently Piper "just discovered" that they had a "quality control problem" with the fuel selector labeling and the FAA- in their infinite wisdom and general lack of concern for the economic...

    Complex time CSEL

    So I'm finishing up a private multi rating, and I'm wondering if the complex time in training counts towards the CSEL complex experience requirements to qualify for the single-commercial checkride (which I'll do eventually.)

    POA slower than molasses

    Lately, interaction with POA has been more painful than usual... It is slower than crap, the login popup I can watch loading a pixel at a time. Typing anything has a visible lag in when it appears on the screen. I did a ping check, and it keeps timing out. A google ping is averaging 15mS...

    Hiding in plain sight

    They'll never find him. He's got a two day head start, which is more than he needs. He's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail...

    Circling approach

    Say you're flying into a towered airport on an ILS flight plan, and you're /A. You get the ILS to runway X (because that's what you're equipped to fly), but winds dictate the other direction is better. What do you ask approach for? ILS X to circle to land on X-180? If the ceiling is at...

    Routing based on equipment

    So on filing /A, for example, can the computer assign routes not achievable without GPS?

    Internet slow?

    Maybe it's just me... Last couple of days it seems that pages are slow to load. I've noticed this on home network, work network, and mobile all with different devices.

    Black Belt

    I need something fresh to stick on the resume. Anyone sat for the LSS Black Belt exam? Easy? Brutal? Looks like I can do some online 'study', take the test, and then "hi ya!!" break virtual cement blocks with my bare mind.

    CFII

    I never thought to look, but the language of 61.65 says instruction for IRA must be by an "authorized instructor", and the definition of that doesn't say "CFI-I", just that the instructor must have an IR. What am I missing?
