My understanding is that it is officially an operating requirement, but there is no-one to routinely check / enforce it for GA. I guess it could be checked if you were unlucky enough to be ramp checked on landing. But nobody I have heard of, including on my own return from the Bahamas in June...

I'm a little rose-colored-glasses here, because I've only been in one partnership and it's a great one (three pilots, one C182; it existed before I joined in). Agree with those who say you should have a written agreement of some kind (some of this can be more or less formal depending on how risk...

I agree with this. If the "single point of failure" worry is that your PFD is failed and then while you're carrying out your diversion, you miss the fact that you've lost oil pressure, that seems like a lot to be planning for...

For anyone else who doesn't want to google, that's in California near LA.

The bluetooth protocols that connect headsets to phones also connect them to laptops. If your Mac laptop was built in the last decade or so, just about any bluetooth headset should work. Just make sure the product you're looking at has a built-in microphone, if you want one. Most do these days.

Clearly we’re far from the realm of helping the OP here, so I’ll drop it after this, but he didn’t say he only realized he’d omitted information after he reviewed documents. He said he now realizes he perjured himself on the form. Maybe that’s because the doc’s note refreshed his memory on his...

You are absolutely right. But nowhere in the OP does it say that he forgot, or misremembered his history, or spaced out when answering, or didn’t know he’d used drugs, or anything else exculpatory. He also didn’t say “I lied because I wanted a medical.” I’m not saying “it’s perjury.” I’m just...

to be fair, he didn’t say one way or the other whether it was intentional. Maybe he “realized” he perjured himself when he learned the definition of perjury.

Sorry, I must have missed the boat on what the question was somewhere up the line. 50 hours PIC airplane is (I believe) a requirement for someone with a private helicopter rating to apply for a commercial airplane rating. But maybe nobody asked that o_O

I believe that’s right. You’ll need 50 hours PIC in airplanes for commercial, so if you don’t get private along the way, that will all be “student” (but not student pilot, since you’re already a private pilot) solo.

Complete guess, but I suspect that means they are making preparations to revoke the 3rd class medical.

I'm still early enough in my flying-for-fun career that an annual map doesn't make as much sense as a lifetime map, but did get that first Bahamas flight this year, so it's been a good one! Only 73.9 hours in 2021, but an eye towards much more in 2022.

I don't see this one super explicitly answered yet, but what they're saying is: after 2 years, you can reasonably answer "no" to the "have you used marijuana" type questions (assuming no positive drug tests, arrests, etc etc). But to get a medical marijuana card, whoever is writing it has to...

Probably others will be along with more details on how much the actual 18w answer will affect the ability to get a medical and/or get employed in the future. My suspicion is, unless the details (I suspect you would have to write a letter / send in court records that have the details) are...

Yes IR rated, but planning to fly VFR if possible because wife dislikes flying in clouds and they’re easier to dodge VFR. FF has profile view now too; agree it’s very cool. Was just wondering if there was local knowledge of lunch spots not to miss or airspace I don’t actually have to avoid…...

Hi all, I'm flying RDU -> MKY (Marco Island, Florida) on Friday, then back next Wednesday. Currently planning ZIKDA KSSI MADEN OAKEL to stay away from most of the restricted airspace, and stop at SSI (Saint Simons, Georgia) for fuel / lunch. Interested if anyone who flies these kinds of paths...

Speaking as a computer admin-type person in general, but not specific to web forums, the most common use of that feature is when a user says "this thing isn't working." If you can log in as them and try "this thing" yourself, it's much easier to get live log messages to narrow down the weird...

Yeah, for some reason I'm better in rural areas about picking out the rivers and hills and interstates compared to urban areas, where I have a hard time being as certain which one mall or tower is which. When I trained in central PA, I loved pilotage. Now, most of my flights involve avoiding or...

Maybe there are people here who can tell you what your chances are, but I don't think there's anything you can do at this point -- with applications already submitted and paperwork already forwarded -- to change those chances... Certainly explaining all of this to a sympathetic HIMS psychiatrist...

In the eyes of the insurance company, who knows. In the eyes of a court, IANAL, but if the pilot is the only owner of the LLC, it would be pretty easy to show that the LLC is just acting as a "front" for the pilot, thereby removing the LLC from the equation as far as the court is concerned...
