Looks really sad.

Get yourself a good instructor and take a SODA ride for your Private. And I mean, get an instructor with 2000+ hours or teaching because landings are going to be tougher, but a seasoned instructor will likely help you better than a rookie trying to get to the airlines. It’s been a decade or...

Basically, don’t sit there and fumble for the mic button. Quickly clear both ways as you bring the throttle up enough to scoot and acknowledge as you go. It’s always been true, but the recent airliner incidents make it clear you still need to be smarter than the cab.

Truth. :cool:

Humans are curious creatures and it’s a bad thing when we stop being curious. As much as some accidents bring out the obvious dufus or 10 on a thread, even that may not be a bad thing if said dufus gets appropriately smacked down and educated. Of course, there will always be some who can’t put...

I’ve flown a plane that had that exact same description repaired. At the end of the day its a roll of the dice on the repair costs vs aircraft market value. Personally, if the numbers work, I’d say rebuild it for the fact that it keeps one more aircraft airworthy, but if they don’t work out...

It’s repairable but will take some $$$ and time.

Can you approximate where you saw it on Google Maps?

A nice-looking Citation seen at Dallas Executive.

There are some places in Texas and Oklahoma where you could probably come for a weekend or two and split some time with somebody and try to get to 50…

I wouldn't do that. Some people might think you're a stalker or just annoying. If you really want to "network" my advice would be to find a line service job and be the absolute best line service agent out there. On time, friendly, extra careful with the aircraft and chocks, and cheerful. You get...

It's has all the appearances of a sort of pyramid scheme. The people that benefit the most from the process NEED enough new starts to help all of the CFIs in the "cadet" programs / process pipeline to get THEIR hours, and I'm sure that they are counting on some attrition along the way.

Not to be a contrarian for controversy’ sake, but I’d bet POA could come up with a significant list of suspiciously political NTSB reports.

That argument is so full of holes it’s not worth parsing.

Don't exaggerate. If you heard about an accident of a friend of yours in a public parking lot, let's say some Walmart, and went to see for yourself what happened, the chances of it being considered a trespass by all but the most unreasonable people is extremely slim and we all know that, and I'd...

I dunno, looks like the Oats Family Center is "open" to the public pretty much and that parking lot would be right where you'd need to be.

I doesn't look that simple to me. The first responders weren't trespassing simply by entering the property, and neither is a person who walks up to the door to ask to use the restroom at a place of business, even if that's dumb, or if they are trying to apply for a job. There are all kinds of...

I sure looks to me like that guy was shooting from inside the property on the second half of the video. All I'm saying is that there'd better not be a double-standard, and the fact that he found the light seems to me to be evidence of sloppy accident investigation, which isn't a good look. I...

So, uh, I wonder if this guy was also violated for "trespassing"?

Trespassing is usually subject to a LOT of interpretation. If a news reporter showed up on scene, they 100% would not be accused of trespassing. If DG hadn't picked up the light, he probably wouldn't be, either. The question is: Did someone on site actually ask him to leave, or was this...
