Your CFI might be interpreting a local testing center policy that is incorrect. " May be used for FAA and Canadian Exams The CX-3® complies with FAA Order 8080.6 and Advisory Circular (AC) 60-11, “Test Aids and Materials that May be Used by Airman Knowledge Testing Applicants”; therefore, you...

It looks to be a good video from what I have watched so far. I am am the EFB administrator (A061) for my organization and it's a heck of a time teaching "old dogs new tricks..." My kid assimilates pretty quickly but it took a a few moments to get the plotter on a paper chart.

Not sure when this checkride was but the DPE was wrong. Very wrong. Having said that, my 19 year old son is learning to fly. He has been using Foreflight but I have also been sitting down with him to go over nav logs and charts. I fly for a living and the last time I used a sectional was...

I'm on the certificate side of the house for my operator. That is super low hanging fruit for the FAA and a super easy way to grab a $10K fine for each flight that had the wrong cards. I don't think a VDRP is going to cover it.

I cleared in at KFPR last Sunday. The only issue that I am having right now is the assignment of a landing time. I have to basically hope that the CBP officer will agree with my landing time since I have already filed the request. When we landed there were 3 jets on the ground dumping off...

lol. They still see ya…

What I was meaning was if they did have an overflight permit, that Lakeland might not be an airport of entry. You are correct, CBP would reach out to local law-enforcement, and have them intercept that aircraft on the ground

If you have an aircraft that meets the performance abilities of an overflight permit, you can obtain one and do just that. We will occasionally fly direct to Orlando international, or even to Leesburg as a part of entry with our permit. If you do not have an overflight permit, at a minimum...

Donna is a great person and she truly tries to help general aviation folks. That office of CBP is only a couple of people but they are all good people.

Attitude depends on where they are normally working and the amount of stupidity they have to deal with. I get it but sometimes I want to shake my head. After Hurricane Dorian, KFPR brought up a bunch of guys from south Florida. Their attitude was a lot different than the normal guys there...

I fly back and forth quite often and just came back from the Bahamas on Saturday from dropping somebody off. I too have received a letter in the past. I forgot to file an outbound last year. First guess, was that the airport was KFPR but that is another discussion for another thread. Here...

As a 1000+ hour airplane pilot and a 3500+ hour helicopter pilot I can tell you that the instinct to go low is a hard one to fight when you are in the clouds. I've got a bunch of SPIFR time in helicopters and have had this discussion with many pilots. One high time SPIFR rated helicopter...

I have to double check what Gyro we have. I’m not sure. I was thinking it could be set as a heading repeater drawing from the GPS rather than using the flux. The install manual references the following: "Determine whether the SN3308 is to be used internally slaved or unslaved. Unslaved...

I spoke with a former CH53 driver about this the other day during lunch. He said he has flown the same route on multiple occasions that this aircraft did. He mentioned that the CH53 does not have de icing capabilities. It only has a hot windshield. He surmises that they started picking up...

We pulled our 3308 during the annual to replace the bulb and noticed that it now has some issues. I'm wondering if there was a default setting that it reverted to when the power was removed. The unit was uninstalled for about 4 days. The install manual does not reference one way or the other...

Honestly, the standard deduction is probably higher than calculating all of those things yourself. At one time it made sense financially to track all of that but most folks can't breach that threshold now.

Looks like your turn coordinator has been adjusted a few times. I found with a out of trim situation on a Cherokee 6 for a while until I actually levelled the plane and found my TC was turned slightly. Might be worth a quick check before rigging.

The Agusta 109E is a helicopter.

In Florida from about 2006-2011, I worked for a part 135 operator that allowed this. We would come up with JAX approach in G airspace and would basically see where we were on the GPS and would identify the towers that way. VFR minimums (no A021) back then were 300 and 1/2 if I recall. The...

I've got a buddy who owns an R66. He was on a wait list for a while. Prior to that he owned both an R44 and an Agusta 109C. He also happens to own a Citation, an Icon Seaplane and a couple of other flying toys. Another acquaintance owns a TBM650, a B206B3 and a Citation. Can't have a...
