    Federal Court Decision: Flight training is carrying passengers for hire

    I've sent a request to my FSDO to see if it is actually just an easy request to get the LODA as the FAA letter seems to imply. I'm not holding my breath. My BFR is due in the fall which is the next time I would need instruction in my experimental aircraft.

    Midwest POA June Brunch: June 22, 2024 1000 CDT, The Jet Room at KMSN, Madison, WI.

    @keen9 is midwest. I though unlike those clingy SE PoAer's we were all too independent for this kind of thing! I've put it on my calendar, but will see how my schedule works out.

    RV-9 with Rotax 915

    Hard for Van's Aircraft to lose something they never had. Van does what he's into, and if you like it that's great. One of the things they have always wanted is to be lean.

    Looking for Champaign/Urbana Ill pirep

    Uber and Lyft are great as you would expect in a college town. Unfortunately wx forced me to drive in my only trip since being an a/c owner. I had planned to go to KCMI for the full service/late hrs, and at the time not too much more $.

    Mackinac Island - Stay in St. Ignace?

    Everyone ignores the fact that the shops and tourist crap is a couple of blocks on one corner of the island. Biking around the island (still crowded), hiking in the middle, or pretty much anything outside of those blocks is great. You will go there to eat, rent bikes, etc, but just walk most of...

    Leaving one ISP for another - emails and transferring?

    My sbcglobal.net email address took forever to die trying to get them to kill it. I think it is finally gone, but I don't check it. So, they will not shut it down. Your email account is associated, but separate from ATT ISP.

    How to find the bathroom

    Or they have 15 random looking buildings, and the only one that looks at all like an office is locked up tighter than a federal pen. I think that is when it is a problem.

    Experienced Pilots: Do you always calculate takeoff distance?

    OP said the runup was normal. Minus 300rpm is in the climb where it is already too late to not takeoff.

    Experienced Pilots: Do you always calculate takeoff distance?

    Sounds like your loss of performance on the takeoff roll was within the error of everything that goes into the calculation (winds, rolling resistance, weight, etc). The only way you are going to diagnose that small of a performance loss is using a per cylinder EGT on your runup.
