The court found Palmer could have assessed the suitability of the off-airport field for landing by other means. Maybe by walking there from the nearest airport to check it out on the ground.

Effing regulations (more pointedly, regulators). According to GPS, the ground beneath our feet moved 2.1 cm during a recent earthquake -- does that mean every flight sim in California is rendered invalid for logging because it moved?

Your CFI should be your source for this training. If he/she is not, you should find one who is. I am not a CFI, and particularly not your CFI. Procedures may vary based on how busy the airport is, which can change based on time of day. Some of these positions may be consolidated into fewer...

Not to stump in favor of compelled arbitration, but the most frequent filers of arbitrations are credit card companies seeking enforceable judgements against default debtors. Lenders have an institutional capability to prosecute their claims; defaulting debtors don't. Defaulting debtors also --...

A municipal employee taking a termination quietly? That's the part of this that's hard to believe.

What is it about the acronym "FAA" that compels the subject it describes to be so disagreeable? :rofl:

I agree that dropping by for a chat would and could be a reasonable and possibly preferable way to resolve any questions you may have. Just be wary that anything you are told won't amount to anything enforceable against the credit union. When push comes to shove, anything put in writing will...

It's all in the name. Kudos to "em" for using an 8-year old, long dormant sock with 6 total posts to uncork that one.

Too late. The FAA should have wanted to see Letters Testamentary or other Surrogate's Court papers attesting to the Next of Kin's rights to sign for the registered owner. The 2013 buyer, having never been recorded as owner by the FAA, would have -- at best -- an equitable interest in the...

JJ Abrams. 'Nuf said. I wanted to see it opening weekend, but there were no evening showings at my local theater. It's too bad they couldn't get the theaters to commit to run it as a feature film, even for opening weekend.

About a year ago, my wife was put into one of those minivans on a college-hunting trip she took with our daughter. At the time she had been long driving an '07 Honda CR-V, which had a vertical shift lever that was centrally placed on the dash, below the radio, but higher than what should be...

Looks fantastic. Do you enjoy the marrow? Gremolata?

I think that neither I, nor anyone, should get to decide what is "excessive" profit. After 275 years, Adam Smith (of "Wealth of Nations" fame) is STILL right. Command economies have collapsed everywhere they've been tried -- to say nothing of 100 million people slaughtered because they were...

Or it could just be naked rent-seeking enabled by restrictive government regulation. Who's this guy Occam, and why does he need a TSO'd, PMA, STC'd razor to shave?

And the other 10,000 parts of the airframe, engine and avionics? Many if not most of which cost more than $400? If I grant you a nickel per part, per day, that's $500/day cost of ownership -- $180,000 per year. Thanks for making the point, even if unintentionally.

But... "Free shipping". WINNING! :yeahthat:

I just wanted to come back to this. As was discussed elsewhere, "If the cost of your tools is keeping you out of flying ..."

Getting back to Chicken Fried Chicken...

I believe the TI-94 (?) is the model my spouse's middle school provides her math students.

I understand the historic reasons that brewed alcoholic beverages were safer to consume -- particularly after storage -- than "fresh" water. That said, in today's age of easy, cheap and abundant filtration, sterilization, and refrigeration, I'm genuinely shocked at how prevalent drinking...
