hello there. Low time pilot there. Normal entry procedure for a non towered airport as I learned it is either on a 45 for a downwind entry or over the field for e left or right downwind entry into the pattern.

Hello there. Low time pilot here. I am receiving constantly in the mail and emails, offer about joining AOPA. I would like to know what’s the advantage and disadvantage of carrying a membership. Not a big deal for $70 but just curious to hear your opinion. Thanks all for the help.

Thank you so very much for all the reply. Great information and I’ll let my son read through it so he can have an unbiased opinion since seldom they listen to their parents at that age.

hello folks. For those of you in the industry and for others with experience I need some opinions. My son which is a senior in high school,will start this summer at the local aviation college to embark in an aviation career as a pilot. He stands at 6’4” tall.....is it too tall to pursue a...

So If I am coming back to Burke Kbkl after a sightseeing at Niagara and need to stop at Erie KERI to clear customs, are they still going to charge a landing fee?

Not really, you are incorrect on both assumptions. I was just stating that as a new pilot and reading some of the comments I was under the impression that if you are in any sort of accidents why would it be bad to make an initial statement rather than wait till speaking to an aviation attorney...

I work in the construction industry and the FAA reminds me of OSHA....they will always find a way to fine you.

Thanks for the reply. So even though might not be your fault does the FAA will still penalize you? What kind of penalty are we talking about, of course depending on the severity of the infraction....partial or permanent suspension? Fines? Jail?

New pilot with low hrs here....just curious...why do you all recommend not to talk to the FAA right away after a crash? If something goes wrong and you are forced to land why are you in any way in trouble? Thanks for the help..
