I'm sure it will resume before the weekend. Go ahead and book a ticket.

If you want to get in the rental business, get in the rental business. My experience and research suggests that a house you buy to actually live in is rarely a good investment property. A good investment property maximizes ROI. That means getting a good rental rate for a house that is low...

That’s cool, but when plans change, weather changes, etc., it’s nice to have access to the wealth of data available to groundpounders below. Sometimes just being able to get a text message out is all that’s necessary to make things seamless. Many of us use our airplanes to go places, and being...

Yes, but only up to 100mph according to the video. Edit: just read in the comments he is using the mobile version (presumably the ROAM RV version) at $150/month. Better than 10mph, although many in the comments said it starts blocking you at 85mph, and each time you exceed the speed it...

I think the service can detect the location of the ground antenna. I'm not sure if it will deny you real time or cancel your service if you violate the TOS. I recall offshore sailors getting notifications when they used the service beyond the coastal service area.

The $120/month is for residential (i.e. one location). The RV version is $150/month and is limited to 10mph. It looks like you'd have to use the boat plan at $250/month. Then there's the issue of where and how to mount the antenna...

Something tells me Boeing probably spends a bit more time focusing on safety related to the twin aircraft that carry the predominant leader of the free world.

The real AF1 (or specifically 28000 and 29000) VC25s, unlike the C32s and C40s, are maintained by blue shirts. Presumably the security threshold for maintainers is so high that it cannot be reasonably outsourced. That said, I'm sure Boeing spends a lot of time handholding USAF maintainers to...

The C32 (757) and C40 (737) are on contract by the USAF with Delta for maintenance, so it would make sense to see it there.

I called Plattsburgh on Friday thinking it would be no problem considering the size of the ramp. Apparently the airport commission limited the FBO to 50 GA aircraft. That ramp could easily accommodate 10 times that.

OP… read your post as if someone else had written it. What do you think?

Not necessary. The SI requirements for mental health conditions in 68.9(a)(1) are pretty specific and do not cover all circumstances in which one may be prescribed SSRIs.

61.53(a), which you quoted above, doesn’t apply to BasicMed at all. 61.53(b) does. While the DNF/DNI list doesn’t apply to BasicMed, the underlying condition and the effects of the medication does. Even if a doc signs you off for BasicMed, the FAA could find you in violation of 61.53(c)(2) if...

I kinda feel bad for the folks posting the “who cares” memes as it tells me they’ve never seen a total eclipse in person. This was my first and it was as promised. The most stressful part of the who thing was figuring out where to go from VA…looking at everything from OH to Vermont. Pretty much...

Someone once sent me the first 20 years of logs that were missing when I bought the plane, along with a photo from when it was new. That was a sweet surprise indeed.

Send her a letter offering to buy the plane. I get dozens of those. Haven't considered any of them stalking attempts but then again that's just one middle aged dude trying to get a good deal on another middle aged dude's plane.

I started a similar thread on the red board years ago about this very same topic. It’s quite interesting. I think because everyone else on the frequency is a we, it just becomes the de facto pronoun choice when communicating on the radio regardless of how many are onboard. And if there’s a...

Yes, I recall the partial eclipse in 2017. A total eclipse is a very different experience, or so I'm told. Accordingly, I'll be heading somewhere northish in the path of totality.

Like substance abuse issues, encouraging schizophrenics to fly is probably not the best way to collectively push for reduced medical certification oversight in GA. There are some conditions that are simply not compatible with an aviation safety culture. While they may be fine, it's really hard...

Does the pilot know he received the diagnosis?
