Our pilots licenses only allow us to fly under certain provisions, so why should there be any stigma about any legal medical compliance that carries provisions? In my eyes, there are 4 FAA medicals: First Class, Second Class, Third Class, & BasicMed because they all require a physician's...

My guess is that these people are only staying together because they can't afford to live on a single income, or can't afford to split up. It doesn't matter how cheap it is if they can't afford it. I live in a no income tax state. If you move to Texas, don't spend all your money on a large...

A couple weeks ago, I heard on the radio about a survey that asked what would you do if you won the lottery. I was surprised that the #1 answer was "leave my spouse".

Okay, so not a medical certificate issued under part 67, but a medical examination under 68.7. It sounds like a medical to me.

I don't get it. Isn't basicmed a medical? You still have to pass a physical exam with a state-licensed physician. If anybody asks you why, say something like; I use basicmed so I don't burden the overworked and backlogged FAA medical branch when this is all I need.

My mistake. Last time I bought aircraft lead acid batteries, they all needed to be charged with electrolyte. I have only been buying lithium ion batteries lately for the experimental plane.

It is only creepy if you are the old man wearing a bikini speedo.

Yeah, you have to add the electrolyte and charge the battery after you buy it. It has been awhile since I bought one, so I can't remember what the warranty on the battery is. I assume from the purchase date, not from the time you add the electrolyte. Check with the battery manufacturer's...

FedEx is so bad where I live. I buy items on Ebay. When it says seller uses FedEx, I find another seller.

I think it is as simple as supply and demand. There is more demand for aircraft maintenance then there is supply of mechanics and shops. The shops don't care if they loose some clients due to poor customer service because there are more clients lined up to take their place. When demand starts...

Don't forget about Child Protective Services. Kids today know exactly how to play the system. Try and discipline, and the kids starts threatening to call CPS. This is happening in school and home, especially when divorced parents don't work together.

Corona Aircraft Engines in Corona CA.

Video games, television, smart phones, social media. Boring school can't compete to that. Kids get addicted to the instant gratification of electronics.

Is there any child custody battle going on with the ex? I am always amazed when I read the outright lies and accusations that are made and filed in court papers in custody battles. This could be all coming from the ex telling lies to your boss. Does your boss have the obligation to...

Unfortunately for the innocently accused, the government is supposed to investigate tips or accusations that are called in that are relative to the safety of aviation. You have the letter from the Flight Surgeon to prove the allegations were false to any other employer. If your boss is going...

I was in my 20's. Spent most of my adolescence and early adulthood hustling jobs to save for flight lessons. I knew I was going to be a pilot. Fought through college and work while building my flight resume. I never had much time for fun or being a normal teenager. Everything revolved...

Mooneys have strong airframes.

I always thought that the way to make electric vehicles practical is they all have to use the same battery pack. Design the vehicles so that the battery pack could be just dropped out and exchanged for a fully charged one at service stations. Just like filling up with gas, except it would be a...

My commercial multi training was in a Twin Bonanza.

Surfed Huntington Beach in the morning, and Snow Summit Big Bear in the afternoon. I was a lot younger.
