I don't know enough about this topic, but I look forward to hearing you elucidate the issue, actual ruling and make comments. KTLA 5 reports on "FAA Ends See and Avoid Rule" for helicopters in mid-sized airports.

This information is based on FAA publications and guidance. DM me if you’d like the sources. With the new year came significant changes to FAA color vision testing requirements. I've been researching this topic and wanted to share a summary for anyone affected or just curious about the changes...

Hi everyone, happy to be here. My name is Alessandro Cotrufo and I’m a student pilot based in Simi Valley, CA, just starting my PPL journey. I wanted to get the community's take on a debate I’ve been having with my instructor. I’m naturally more on the tech-savvy side along with most people in...

Definitely worried that the executive orders (to halt new federal rules from going into effect until Trump Admin appointees can review them).will delay or kill MOSAIC. This thing has been taking forever and now perhaps even longer! But perhaps the mandatory return to work for federal employees...

Any of our ATC folk, FAA guys, Oklahoma pilots familiar with these programs? I know controllers have been slammed for a while, so opening doors through new channels to get people into the career could be a good move. Wondering how long/rigorous the programs are? Another hiring trick I wish they...

So long story short is that I used to be depressed and I had to take lexapro and I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and depression. It started originally in High school when it was the worst to the point of withdrawing from school but I left after my sophomore year (2018) and did online...

Hi everyone, I recently filled out my med express form as I am about to start a new pilot program so I can attain my PPL and hopefully my CPL. I was able to fill out my medical application and to see the AME and received the all clear and got my first class certificate the same day. Fast forward...

Hello, I’m new to the forums here. Looking forward to learning and interacting with everyone. I currently fly under Basic Med. I know it restricts operations above 18,000MSL. My dream is to be able to fly into the flight levels one day. In your opinions, is there a possibility that Basic Med...

With the terribly horrendous weather the last month in Chicago I've barely been able to fly. Low ceilings, icing risk and generally bad weather have thrown a wrench into my IFR training regimen. And now the plane is going in for annual in about a week. To try and keep some modicum of aviation...

https://airfactsjournal.com/2022/10/the-20-hour-cessna-172-experiment-update/ I found this article particularly fascinating. They found a way to address the leaded gas issue. Plus reduced operating costs, emissions and noise. You get one guess what the roadblock is.

When an aircraft gets upgraded avionics like a GPS, autopilot, and electronic flight instruments in a mid 1970s aircraft for example; is an aircraft flight manual supplement required and must it be printed and carried along with the aircraft or can it be in digital format? Same with the required...

Based on some recent threads, there seem to be some misunderstandings between exemptions and waivers. Let me see if I can help... Exemption: Simply put, an exemption is a type of rulemaking that is granted to a person or entity in order to relieve them from a regulation when no other means to...

https://wflanews.iheart.com/featured/florida-news/content/2022-03-24-flying-a-drone-in-south-tampa-this-weekend-could-cost-you-big-bucks/ Does this warning of a $225,000 fine seem a little outrageous? I understand they want to keep the usual morons away from the zoomy Air Force jets, but where...

Hi everyone! In a few months time I'm heading to the States for a couple weeks (NY area). I currently hold a EASA PPL. Going to what we could call the GA paradise, I've thought it'd be a good idea to get a validation to rent a plane and do a few hours there just for pure pleasure. I just have a...

I’ll get the details wrong, but there was recently an FAA legal case that resulted in an opinion that no flight training could take place in Experimentals, LSAs, or any other Special category without a LODA. Oshkosh happened, and there was a flurry of discussion. Mount Vernon happened and there...

Latest from Dan Johnson. It looks like LSA will stay largely the same with a few modifications (single power lever allowed as is electric propulsion) and a new category called LPA created. LSA will be a subset of LPA perhaps. More here...

Flew under a bridge and was caught. At least she wasn’t “Hoovered”:D https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/04/18/lunken-airport-faa-martha-jeremiah-morrow-bridge/7089271002/ Cheers

My father owns an airplane. It is registered in his name and not in a LLC. He is very ill and unable to act on his own behalf. My mother has a POA and would like to gift the airplane to me. Has anyone here gifted an aircraft or received an aircraft as a gift? AOPA told me the POA will be...
