Bump here. Only two days left to buy a raffle ticket!

Florida has a cut-out for raffles for 501(c)3 entities. I had to do a fair bit of reading of the Florida statues when I crafted the rules for this thing.

Thanks for posting this! I'm one of the founders of Vets to Jets and I logged on this morning to post a link. If you have any questions about the raffle - Hit me up. Cheers, Chris

Aircraft Owners- Can you help me out a bit: How many of you would like more useful load in your aircraft? Help me to answer that question by filling out a very quick survey Thanks!

At the end of all that, you then have to execute the most difficult piston multi-engine maneuver there is -selling the damn thing.

A pilot area that includes a gym, mini cubicles, and a billiard lounge comes close. On top of that, they are always willing to pump 20 gal of 100LL with the same energy and efficiency as 1000 gal of Jet A. In a place dominated by jet traffic, I always feel taken care of at KTEB Merridian...

I'm surprised nobody has said Meridian at KTEB yet. Nice place and the staff does well amid all the chaos.

Area 51: imagine an airfield. In the desert. Crazy.

The Gatlin letter is the first of many that say "Ground instructors can only do what is in 61.215" http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/pol_adjudication/agc200/interpretations/data/interps/2010/gatlin%20-%20(2010)%20legal%20interpretation.pdf

The 135 outfit I consult for does this with most of our aircraft. Our pitch is that insurance is less than if you leased back to a flight school and renters won't trash it. PM me if interested.

AIM 1-2-3 and AIM 1-1-17 tell you that using a certified panel mount GPS in lieu of DME is acceptable.

Nope. These are civil aircraft as recreation and training not directly associated with a military mission are outside the scope of "public aircraft." (Note: there's no legal definition of "military aircraft"... only "civil" and "public"). There have been times that aeroclub aircraft likely could...

There's more to it than that. There can be aircraft that the DoD has leased that meet the definition of public if they're used for development or training. There can be aircraft that are owned by certain agencies that get chopped over for a military mission. I have worked quite a few issues on...

Yes if in performance of a military mission. Here' it's a "public aircraft," and not a "civil aircraft." Let's say some firm wants to put a new widget on a King Air and test it under contract with the DoD. The test aircraft has an N-number and the government has not accepted ownership. The...

Some insurance companies reduce rates to owners who hold an ATP.

To land: have forms DD2400, 2401, and 2402 completed and approved. http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/dd/ddforms2000-2499.htm

Scrap aluminum rates aren't high enough to solve this problem

Where are said pilots going to come from? I see a tight labor market at the low end of the airline pilot spectrum and I don't see how GL's offers are competitive. The financial statements do not look pretty...

The FAA has not made it clear in any way how much and what types of communications constitute holding out vice which ones are necessary to establish common purpose to meet the cost-sharing exemption. In essence, the FAA has used the smut defense for holding out -they know it when they see...

My background is as an investor. I just did well betting on RJET before they sealed their recent TA. For GLUX, I have no idea why they keep getting approved for more financing, but they seem to. They have a market cap of $2.5M and something like $20M in debt.
