    Routing question - forgive me I'm stil a n00b

    HAIGS isn't a Victor airways routing fix. HAIGS is a fix used on the ILS 27 @ HGR. Maybe ATC isn't "allowed" to give you this routing...because you're not shooting the approach or shooting the practice approach. Dunno. Maybe a few of the more seasoned aviators on here can answer. Some ATC in...

    Drop Everything and Be a Professional Pilot

    I just did it...well, about a month ago. Flying Part 135 for a cargo/charter company at KADS.

    A Rocket in the Texas desert

    There's another ~10 miles north of TPL. You'll pass right over it if you shoot the ILS 15 into TPL.

    Scout has no GPS...no sale.

    Would this hot start procedure work on a Cessna?

    This. I flew aerial tours in DFW for about 6 months. We would average about 12-13 flights a night, each about 30 mins. Load, Fly, Unload, Load, Fly, etc all night. Lots of hot starts. This method worked perfect for me each time. Fuel injected 172's...

    What do birds do when the weather goes IFR?

    Paging AggieMike...Don't you have a joke about pilot flying IMC with a duck and a cat (or something) in the plane?

    The perfect plane ever came on the market and my heart is racing.

    I would highly recommend Doug Hudgins at Aviator Air in GPM. That guy really knows Pipers!

    Tailwheels, pavement, shimmy Oh My!

    Rake and trail, the same rake and trail used on motorcycle front ends, has a lot to do with it. I'll dig up the article we found that help the TW shimmy in our J3...if you're interested.

    young eagle flight incident

    A recent FAAST seminar presented these clever acronyms: ETOSARTO: Every TakeOff iS A Rejected Takeoff ELISAGO: Every Landing IS A Go Around If memory serves, the instructor's name was Mike Montefusco (spelling?). I know there were a few more... If you try and pronounce the acronyms as a...word...

    Prior USMC officer looking to join Air Guard...

    I would call the local Air National Guard recruiter. Since you're prior service, not doubt with an Honorable Discharge, I would imagine they would scoop you right up. But, I'm not real sure what being a PPL really brings to the table. You'll likely only have maybe 100 hours PIC, when you apply...

    What's the fascination with a Cub?

    Yes, you will be banned from PoA! :) I've got a couple hundred hours in our flying club's Cub and I absolutely love it! I really can't put my finger on it, but Cub's kinda grow on you.

    IMC requirement for CFII

    Oh, okay. I interpreted that as actual IMC, not actual flight. Interesting...

    Fighters scramble FL TFR who's guilty?

    This Presidential TFR business is nonsensical. I would argue that us trustworthy pilots <cough, clears throat> are a much less threat than some nutjob with drone. The TFR's are just pointless.

    IMC requirement for CFII

    Interesting topic. Part 135 IFR hiring minimums are 50 actual (in an airplane), but the actual IFR requirements to be a CFI-I, one who would instruct new pilots the skills they need to survive, literally, in IMC conditions are...zero. Kind of a paradox, IMHO. There's a very distinct difference...

    New Traffic Pattern

    Good point!

    Is my CFII having me fly the ILS too fast?

    That's fast for an ILS approach, unless you're in a 737. I understand that (maybe) he's prepping you for those days when you're flying in a busy airport with ATC bellowing at you to keep your speed up. But, when I'm 2 miles from the FAF...I'm slowing down to a speed I feel comfortable with in...

    Annual requirements

    Wait...Who doesn't have a color mega-pixel camera in their smart phone? It's 2016, right? Maybe, I missed the satire in the OP...:cool:
