No need to elevate it unless you feel like doing more work. By the time the angle of the cable is pulling downward, your plane's wheels are already on the hangar floor and nearly to the parking spot.

However old you are when you start paying all of your own bills and aren't living in their home. Until then, suck it up and listen to mom and dad or figure out a way of doing it on your own.

I've had my PPL for over 15 years. I just recently passed the IFR written and am working on hood time and skills. I've flown many long cross country trips during that 15 years and I can count on one hand the times that I was unable to fly somewhere due to weather that I would have been good to...

Future Farmers of America?

Are you flying alone? If so, have a pair of whatever kind of gloves you own now in your flight bag. put them on until you taxi away from the hangar and throw them in the back seat until you are taxiing back from the runway. This is one of the more ridiculous and useless "safety precautions" I...

I believe, left turns will be more natural after flying for some time due to the fact that a majority of the turns we make as pilots end up being left turns, especially as a student pilot. If you do a lot of pattern work, you normally fly a left traffic pattern so you get used to it. I think...

I was hoping to get to the island this summer too, but with the Governor of Michigan overly restricting everything, I don't know how much will be open right now. Hopefully, that changes soon.

I'd like one with a "9" in it just so I can say niner more often.

I just finished using their class for my IFR written exam and I couldn't have been any more pleased with the product.

I think you have the right idea here. To me, knowledge based stuff would be something that anyone could do with the proper learning or by carrying a reference sheet to know the answers. Even a non-pilot could ace a knowledge test if they had a reference book to look up the answers. A skill...

I just took the test today after using the King online course and got a 93%. I started working through their sections and took all the practice tests. I thought it was great and definitely isn't just a memorization type of course. Fortunately, that worked well because there were only a few of...

I actually feel the same as you about the headsets I use. In training +/- 20 years ago, ANR headsets were just becoming popular, but they weren't really in my price range to even try. I had a newer David Clark headset at the time and still use the same model to this day. My training set still...

While not on the scale of today, the avoidance and shutting down of some public gatherings was prevalent during the early 50's prior to the Polio vaccine. Swimming pools were closed and people were urged to stay further apart in public places. There is definitely a level of hysteria involved...

Would a bunch of Wings program courses bypass the BFR?

If you're looking for useful load due to being "bigger than average" the C-182. If you're looking for interior room and easy access then C-177. More elbow room in the Cardinal and less fuel burn, but more speed and load capacity in the Skylane.

How did he get a medical?

This may have less to do with the disinfecting a pump as it has to do with directing sales to the fuel truck crew that has little or nothing to do right now.

Rental car or crew car has been my go-to for travel at a destination. People have said, "isn't a rental expensive for a day?" I just tell them that it was a whole lot cheaper than the plane ride and then they understand. Bikes. scooters, etc. for me just aren't practical to throw in the plane...

From my experience, even if the porta-potty is not there, the area becomes one when needed.

I don't call too many people heroes, but Milton Friedman's explanation of sound economic theory puts him on my list. It's too bad so many young people have never heard of him.
