I have no idea where you're going with the IFR stuff. But I think we all agree that IFR aircraft are not under a controllers guidance or direction in the pattern if a class e airport . For the latter - no one is talking about flying opposite you on downwind .90 degrees is not 180 degrees

What he is saying is that IFR doesn't mean a controller is controlling the airport if there's no tower. Regardless of class e to the surface or class g, the airport environment itself is not-controlled, and therefore, these exact same scenarios apply equally. You still need to look for other...

I get both points. But still fail to see how keeping the entire pattern in view for an approaching aircraft is not much safer and less likely to result in a midair than any other option like the descending teardrop where at least one of the two planes has 0 visibility toward the other plane at...

How in the world did this almost create 2 midair collisions? The only way I can see the midfield crosswind being even kind of dangerous is if the pilot insists on doing it 500ft above pattern altitude instead of just turning directly onto downwind. You can see the pattern the whole time...

It's my normal entry when on the opposite side of the pattern. I feel it is such safer because I can see the whole pattern before entering it. Same reason for the 45 when on the pattern side. My normal entries: When aligned to runway, fly straight in When opposite runway, sidestep and fly 45...

Sounds the same to me. "I didn't sell my dick for money, some lady just gave me cash and decided to ride the change out of me."

You know....I would say Ed is a bit tin foil hatish on this one. But then I realized that I could easily register "robthispilot.com" and have home address, map with directions, nearby options and flight status for anyone with ADS-B pretty easily . I wouldn't sell a plane or refuse to buy one as...

I love Avare. But winds aloft seems to be perpetually broken too. Love the free Geo referenced plates though. Also being free is nice

I hate you.

I should point out - much as I dislike AOPA, this is a really cool idea. I plan on downloading the app and using it

Unfortunately I don't. I got out of the game and handed everything to someone else. He kept it running for a few years and then shut it down due to a lack of participation. Both the original ConUS challenge and Go Fly America were my most favorite contributions I've ever made to GA. Chip wrote...

Why would you have an empty cell followed by a custom cell? That looks like broken code....try it with the normal TR and TD instead....

So - anything new in this regard? I live on the southern end of Keller, 16 mins from KFTW and 14 mins from KAFW. Looking for a club that is more like a partnership than a flying school, preferably with low wing aircraft (HP is better). I'd rather not make the drive to Denton to fly if...

Are they smart enough to avoid cats? If so, can that be overriden? Asking for a friend...

I believe that is Lightning Distant South

It was a hell of a goodbye for my family. We move Saturday. But first, let’s see altimeters south of 29.00 at den, thunder snow, 5 foot drifts at the house, and 10 inches of snow that fell under 50 knot sustained wind with gusts topping 75 knots during a 8 hour period. I haven’t even seen a...

How does the tail number help you see them?

“Wrong” runway?

Is the transmission in drive or neutral?
