The student pays the bills. Aviate Academy uses partnerships with various aviation organizations for outreach, scholarships, and student loans. Scroll down to the "Partnerships" section, just past half way down the page. https://unitedaviate.com/ They are trying to increase the number of...

They are trying to create more qualified, capable pilots with the Aviate Academy because there are not enough in the pipeline to meet the aggressive growth plans. Nothing in what they are doing changes the hiring or training criteria.

I think the problem at Atlas was their inability to get, and keep, pilots of any any race or gender, not DEI hiring practices. There's been a lot of misunderstanding of what UAL's CEO said. The 50% goal is for the Aviate Academy, which is a flight school in Arizona, not UAL new-hire classes...

To paraphrase Confucius, The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper names.

VORs have radials, NDBs have bearings. It might sound like a meaningless distinction but it is not for the reasons I stated above. The NDB bearing-to is dependent on your heading and relative bearing. A radial is fixed in space (until the VOR is realigned). If there's actually anyone...

Try using the navigation simulators at https://www.luizmonteiro.com/Learning_VOR_Sim.aspx Very good tools for learning VOR and many other flight and navigation instruments. A VOR radial doesn't move. As the area's magnetic variation shifts, a particular radial is still in the same physical...

Many times more satellites that are in a lower orbit so lower latency and higher bandwidth.

Providing good customer service is not something that comes intuitively to most people. It requires training, procedures, and continued reinforcement. That all costs a business time and money. I'm impressed by businesses which have put forth the time and resources to have well trained staff...

They ask you if you can provide your own terrain and obstacle separation through their minimum IFR altitude. If you are above the clouds, and no terrain or obstacles are extending above the clouds, then you can provide your own separation in the climb.

How will you judge if they did it correctly?

Did you read my previous posts about logging the requirements specified in part 61? You can add additional detail to your log entries at any time as long as those details are accurate. There are a number of ways to indicate that an airplane is a TAA. You can note it in the remarks or create a...

The airspace system is not primarily designed around the needs of GA airplanes. The VOR/DME network is needed to provide back FMS updating via DME/DME/IRU. That allows them to continue flying enroute and terminal RNAV during a GPS outage. A network of low-power NDBs would not due the same thing.

Making it as easy as possible for the DPE to confirm compliance is always a good idea. One method is to print a list of each requirement and the date on which it was documented in the logbook. I'd think most examiners would check one or two of them then move on.

You are reading things into the regulation that aren't there. Nowhere does it say that you must cite the regulation in your log entry. What you must do is LOG the specific training and experience that the regulation requires. If it says that it must be solo, then you must have logged it as...

Not "technically" in violation, he's overtly in violation. 14 CFR 61.3 - Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations. ... (e) Instrument rating. No person may act as pilot in command of a civil aircraft under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR...

Two things: 1. You can always go back and add additional details of your flights to your logbook as long as the additional details are accurate. 2. While working on your CPL, it's a good time to work on understanding of regulations. Even more so if you plan to continue your training as a...

That assumes you are in a RADAR environment. I believe the OP is the Pacific Northwest. Lots of mountains and airports with approaches that aren't covered by RADAR. What I was trying to bring up earlier is that, with a GPS-only airplane, you'd have to consider those possibilities which might...

Probably more indicative of news coverage than actual crime rates.

I have digitized his Effective Mental Conditioning tape. Saw him live in ~1987. And remember, "Because it's good for the motor!"

A brisk walk is between 3mph and 4.5mph. That is too slow for most taxiing. You don't even need to go that slow when making turns.
