Markets will recover , inflation related money value drop never does ( even though inflation itself may eventually disappear )

WA Physicians for Social Responsibility. Thats all we need to know ..

From what I read , majority of s21 builders install either Titan (most) or Rotax 915. I would personally go with Rotax 915 since it is a modern ( and imho better ) engine but Titan will give you more power unless you plan to fly at altitude ( where turbo Rotax starts to shine ) I would stay...

FAA says they are introducing Mosaic in the first place precisely because after 20 years of LSAs data they see no significant difference in terms of overall safety record between traditional GA/PPL and LSA/SP , which makes the above somewhat of a moot point …

If Mosaic passes, it looks to me like over time will end up with some kind of merge between PPL and SP with the final process being similar to what you get in the automotive industry - some kind of formal medical required only for commercial operations.

Any word on possible changes to the 54 stall speed limit ?

NY? For some reason I picture that state as a place where everything is “verboten” by default and one is expected to apply for permission as a starting point for just about everything ….

Well, his whole point was that they can go f*** themselves so I guess it wont be very effective.. and frankly, being that this is happening in Alaska, he probably earned that right …. :-)

The fact that he did take off against traffic and without using radio most likely has nothing to do with his lack of medical or frankly anything related to his alleged “free citizen” status - I know some very ordinary folks with medicals and without any claims to being “sovereign” that were...

Statistically flying a GA plane is a lot more risky than driving a car and is about as risky as riding a motorcycle.

Not sure about that … I remember reading that engine failure rate was something around 1 per 10 000 hours ( and thats all failures not just catastrophic ones ) which suggests to me that your average GA pilot with 2k hours or so total has a pretty good chance of not having to deal with this issue...

Why bother with a clumsy and easily detectable GA plane when a tiny drone can do the job just as well.

Two chubby ladies having hard time getting around ?

The point here is that getting a sport certificate requires pretty much as much effort as getting your PP and the hard part to master , the part where you have to learn how to fly, land and master these skills under differing circumstances , is exactly the same so why not go for PPL directly.

There is barely any difference between effort you need to put to get one of these certs - i would go for PP directly.

A 100k plane like that would make perfect sense but since apparently they cant possibly make and sell it for 100k ,well, it is what it is ….

For commercial flying this makes some sense ( and it should really be up to employers) but for PP and private flying what business is that of FAA to even ask questions like that ?

With our current 34 trillion debt , another 115 million is not even statistical noise anymore …

Unless both of these deaths can be directly attributed to his incompetence as an instructor - he should not end up in jail and I doubt he will.

I think you are right on the money with LSA, and if Mosaic goes thru then , unless you are flying commercially, there is absolutely no reason to waste thousands of dollars on potentially risky SI where a refusal can end up closing the door for good.
