    Amphibs FAR Minutiae

    They'll take what they can get. They don't carry much money so they always want to trade for salmon they've caught. I usually have to tell them no as I don't like salmon. I'd take them halibut fishing, but they tell me they don't like halibut and they get seasick. As for weather, I can see...

    Amphibs FAR Minutiae

    Flying floats in Alaska is far more work than fun. Loading dead animals for those hunters you took to a cabin last week, sucks. Then there are those 100 lb fish boxes. Over gross??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Bear tours are the way to go.

    So-Cal Complex/ATC Airspace Training Plan

    If you go to the high desert for training, be sure to be talking with Joshua Approach. There can be lots of UAVs flying about. If high altitude ops are to be part of the training process, Big Bear is close by as well.

    Weird things with Lightspeed Sierra on pilot jacks

    Customer owned avionics install in San Diego recommendations

    Aren't there like 3 avionics shops at Gillespie. IOS, the jet place on the north side of the field, and a place on the Southeast side of the field. The problem you'll have with customer owned avionics is exactly what you've run into at Ramona. They make very little money on installing your...

    IR checkride -unpublished holds

    Yes, they can give you unpublished holds. Our local DPE does exactly that. I've heard there are also a few that do unpublished DME arcs.

    When your neighbor is a meat cutter at Costco

    My son was a meat cutter at Costco some years ago. We ate some really good rib eyes. Costco tri tip is the best, with or without their house dry rub.

    Blood pressure high on medical exam..what happens then?

    As am I. Until someone used the back of my hand instead of the inside of my elbow. Now I just tell them to use the back of my hand rather than mess with my arm. Even I can find a vein there.

    Flying Into Mexican Airspace

    I suspect the FSDO will just tell you what you already know. That the controlling agency for each R area is the specified ARTCC. Your best chance is plan your flight on a Sunday or Federal holiday. But even that is not guaranteed. Airspace issues are not something the FSDO handles until you are...
