Would the world have ended had the change not been made? Of course not. But apparently as publications go up for revision, the writers attempt to update language as necessary. I don't think the intention was "woke" so much as the authors identified a point of potential confusion referring to...

19 CFR 122.22(b)(6) https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-19/part-122/subpart-C#p-122.22(b)(6

Henning was certainly a legend on the avation web forums a decade ago. I never met him in person but somehow managed to connect with him on Facebook. While some of his posts came across as Dos Equis ad material, he always had interesting, if not thought provoking takes on whatever issue was at...

I once submitted an EAPIS with an incorrect birthdate for one of my passengers. I immediately submitted a subsequent eapis with the correct date. I called, CBP agent didn’t seem bothered by my error and confirmed they got the corrected EAPIS, I crossed the border, and all was good. A couple...

FWIW, you can flight instruct with a 3rd class or when operating under BasicMed. That said, many FBOs also use their instructors to conduct non-flight training part 91 operations so a 2nd class would be necessary for those types of ops.

I once started up a 182RG, and upon turning the key to the start position, the engine fired up but something didn’t seem right when I released the key from the start position. I immediately when mixture idle cutoff and shut down the mags and the master. My suspicions were confirmed when as soon...

Thanks! Edited. Too many words on too small of a screen.-

Search and rescue…is she specifically interested in rotor wing? If so, I’d highly encourage her to look into the military. Helicopters are expensive. Being a female will certainly help in regard to getting where she wants as aviation slots are very competitive and women make up a small...

I don't know what to think but camguard is relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things so I use it. Probably what folks say about every additive ever invented. It does make me wonder why some oil manufacturer hasn't at least partnered with camguard to sell a version of their oil with...

I've been using iPads in the cockpit for 13 years and never used a screen protector. Non of the cases are particularly good at keeping it cool; your best bet is keeping it out of the sun. I don't mount it either, I rather have it loose and stowable like a notebook. Some folks use Ram mounts to...

Apparently autocorrect thought “plunder” made more sense than “under”, lol. Fixed.

BasicMed pilots are counted towards active pilots. Folks operating under sport pilot, gliders, or non commercial balloons are completely untrackable.

I know if I came across the logbooks of a relative, I'd definitely want to see and keep them. Ultimately to decision is up to your decedents as to whether they'd like to keep them or not. As more and more goes digital, records are easier to store but less likely to be perused for historical or...

This operator uses a two person crew. Probably also makes it easier to fly with the autopilot inop.

The FAA cannot withdraw the Special Issuance after the underlying medical certificate has expired.

For some reason the Washington center computer loves to spit out routes that will never actually be flown. I frequently get KRANT (basically sending me right past the Capitol and directly over RFK stadium) as my first fix departing VKX even though Potomac tracon will assign radar vectors...

There's no requirements or standards established by the FAA for BasicMed exams. Presumably the Doc was using his best clinical judgment to determine if there was anything that would be problematic for signing the form. An ECG is pretty typical for annual wellness checks once you hit age 40 or so...

For various reasons I’ll refrain from weighing in on the merits of the petition, but I commend the OP on at least attempting to put some thought and effort. That said, understand that any rulemaking effort requires use of scarce resources, and this petition will compete against a long list of...

Last I checked there are around 18,000 known landing surfaces in the US, of which 5,000 are public use, and of the 5,000, about 3,300 are identified in the FAA National Plan and are mostly publicly owned. There are quite a few privately owned airports, many of which are open to public use...

I’d be looking along the Delaware River, from New Hope to Easton. Bucks County prices aren’t cheap, but still a value compared to NJ.
