Hey, thanks Bryan. Here's some more info:

I'm guessing a DNS redirect would do it?

For me, I'd plan on immediately replacing the 50+ year, runout engine with a factory new engine. Probably $35-40K for that. I wouldn't even consider doing a major overhaul on an engine that old. I know plenty of people will disagree, but that's my opinion.

Ok, hypothetical situation. You're at the main ramp and Ground has cleared you to taxi to the runway. No other instructions. On your way, you optionally decide to pull off into a marked runup area. When you have completed your runup, what do you do?

If a runup area is marked with a solid line on the inside and a single dashed line on the outside, it's a non-movement area. In the runup area, bounded by said lines, some airports don't want you to call anyone. They simply expect you to exit the runup area when ready and monitor tower as you...

Agree, Larry. But my comment specifically involved calls to ground (or not) when leaving the runup area (which is a non-movement area). Like I said, you are I are talking about different things.

I operate my 182L out of a short grass strip. Been doing slips with flaps 30 for twenty years. Like was said, rarely a slight oscillation sets up, but it is easily quelled.

He'll call for you... In the runup area? I think you and I are talking about different things.

Which raises the question of why does it vary so much from one airport to the another?

I >believe< that if you exit the movement area after receiving a taxi clearance, you are technically required to get a clearance from ground to re-enter the movement area. I have no documentation to support this. Just a conversation with a controller many years ago. At PDK, for example, they...

Don't shoot me. I'm just the piano player.

The runup area is a non-movement area. At some airports they want you to switch to tower after runup and taxi to the hold short line. At others, they want you to call ground before leaving the runup area. There must be some standard for this (leaving a non-movement area to a movement area) but...

And while we're on the topic of PSI and Knowledge Tests, you might want to take a look at this short article. It explains the vast changes we can expect in the format of FAA tests. One of the big ones is that the Knowledge Test Supplement is expected to go away entirely. No one will know the...

That will be a tough one. PSI has written all the testing software and owns it. No one else would be able to compete based on the costs they'd incur to rewrite everything from scratch. PSI is in the cat bird's seat and I doubt there is anything anyone can do about it.

I watched that last night, Martin. Another great video and your new panel is beyond awesome!

The prices for all the courses are on the Gold Seal home page (groundschool.com) at the very top. They are also at the bottom of each individual course page (and the pages aren't very long).

Sorry for the confusion, but the pricing is absolutely there on the landing page for each course. Scroll to the bottom and they are prominently shown. Private pilot - https://www.groundschool.com/privatepilot Instrument pilots - https://www.groundschool.com/instrumentpilot And for the flight...

There used to be a very active member here who flew a Viking. Is he still around? I've forgotten his name, but it was something like "160knots".

It is horrendously painful. To all of you who have suffered through this, my sincere condolences for the loss of your friend.
