And just when I thought I knew all the types out there I come across a thread like this...!

I mean it was said jest, IE, a joke. But thanks captain obvious. Night vfr may as well be IMC which is why many jurisdictions treat it as such. Stay safe out there

That's cool! I like it

Thanks - but would you still log that as dual given? I mean I get the spirit of the law vs letter, but if you're just 'marketing' then are you really counting it as dual given? Splitting hairs a bit. But?

Unfortunately I don't believe this is correct. If you're looking at the letter of the law it states it clearly in CFR 1552.3. in our case, assuming the us citizen, we are concerned with subpart (h) § 1552.3 Flight training. This section describes the procedures a flight school must follow...

Which also ties back to medicals and being able to instruct on a class 3

I guess I don't see the confusion. Plenty of cfi give lessons in their own planes. Check the passport/birth certificate accordingly as needed Sounds like more of an insurance question

I agree. Plus the actual rule is "flight training" .. is a duscovery flight considered "training" ?

So far so good! I was just at F70 actually looking at a 210 (no, didn't buy it)

A 50% increase!

Admittedly I skimmed the thread, did not realize this was a requirement I'm not an EV hater, but with their pathetic energy density batteries have no place in airplanes right now. "1-2 years away" for the last 20. Cars, sure. Planes - no

There's an actual flying viable one that both flies, and drives on the road. It's Slovakian It made the rounds about 2 years ago and I hadn't heard since so I thought it was dead but Top Gear, I mean Grand Tour, just featured it in their most recent June episode This one isn't vaporware crap...

Delta keeps their panes very clean! Damn. I also hadn't realized the 717/MD-90/mad-dog was still flying with a major carrier. That's cool. Back when I could find them on my SAN - BOS flights I'd go out of my way to book on them. Always seemed the quietest and smoothest in rows 15 and under...

Comedy has to be a tough gig.. good for him if he can make it enough to fly a Gulfstream As for the pilot, taking a jet like that off a runway has to be embarrassing, more so when you have a celebrity on board!

..back in the day I was obsessed with submarines (still am to some degree). The USS Chopper is worth checking out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Chopper of note, this class sub had a test depth of a mere 400 ft, so 600 ft design depth. Even with a safety factor of 1.5 that puts the crush at...

Pretty much this, Rudy covered it well: Gibbs is now 'Executive' but is actually part of Crown. The building is mostly ATP actually, Plus One has a little section at the back but there are some trailers now next to it also part of ATP. The ramp is mostly Plus One but there's a fair bit of...

CF is undeniably a great building material. Their strength though is documented in tensile loads, less so compression. Steve Fosset was planning to go to Challenger Deep in a carbon fiber sub, the difference was that was built to be a one-time use submarine. Do-able, but must be executed right...

Honestly this seems like the biggest driving factor. Everyone looks to reduce costs and reduce regulatory burden, but that alone is not the crux. Top leadership sets the ethos for the organization. The most damning to me are the established industry experts (such as Cameron, Ballard, basically...

Sorry - I didn't mean to imply you did. I used it as a tangent to some of the memes I've seen out there (some of them admittedly funny).. pardon, no ill intent meant!
