    When to contact Approach before Tower? (VFR)

    I stumbled across one Class D a while back that wanted pilots to contact approach first. Maybe they had some type of LOA. At any rate, I'm not aware of any regulatory issue supporting it. Class D, call the tower. If they want you to contact someone else they'll tell you.

    Got COVID?

    Influenza cases resulting in long term organ damage and/or hospitalization are nowhere near COVID cases in numbers. So yes, there is a difference.

    Got COVID?

    That still doesn't address your 50/50 assertion which remains wrong. And quoting a death statistic meaning everyone else does "just fine" overlooks some important facts. People who survive may still end up in the hospital. They might max out their insurance and end up in substantial debt. They...

    Got COVID?

    Not true. While Delta seems more easily spread to vaccinated people, it is no where near any suggested 50/50 split.

    Got COVID?

    We had to quarantine half the office this week. An (undisclosed) unvaccinated person got diagnosed with COVID after exposing several of us. We are all vaccinated. That's no guarantee, but hopefully will keep us out of the the poop.

    Having trouble with the CFII written

    The key to being good at test taking is (big surprise), study. Most people aren't bad test takers, they just try to get by on minimal study. The FAA and PSI have publicly made it their goal to eliminate memorization as a useful study strategy. This short article explains what is going on...

    Help with training video

    We use prosumer-level cameras. Gopros are only used for airplane video. Now, having said that, the newer Gopros are pretty darned good! Even newer iPhones can produce some amazing footage. The downside to anything beyond a "real" camera is that with Gopros and the like, you don't have as much...

    UAS Cert Question from Private Pilot

    The UAS Part 107 initial written covers a lot of material that should be common knowledge for most private pilots. But on the other hand, if it's been a long time since you studied any of the private pilot test material, you may be a bit rusty. Current pilots under Part 61 can take ALC-451 at...

    How to choose a flight school?

    It doesn't address a flight school, but the more important fit is you and your instructor. https://groundschool.com/articles/choosing-your-flight-instructor

    What is involved in starting a private airstrip?

    Agreed. The county is going to be a bigger obstacle than the FAA. Make sure they're ok with the idea. Maintaining a turf runway can be a substantial obligation unless you're only going to land airplanes with tundra tires.

    Teaching Flow vs. Checklist in GA

    Bingo. The ACS specifically refers to checklist use, and at nearly every phase of flight. It's a good idea to have a discussion about this with a DPE before appearing at a checkride. Expectations vary.

    Teaching Flow vs. Checklist in GA

    I'd be interested in hearing the fuel management scheme that he says he "invented". The one I teach in simple two-tank aircraft is crank and taxi on one, runup and finish taxi on the other. Then, whichever side of the (analog) clock you're on, that's the tank you want to be using. That keeps...

    Taking your dog flying

    I gave my Lab a slow progression into flight. 1. Get him used to simply sitting in the back seat on the ground without engine running. 2. Repeat Step 1 with the engine running. Then shut down and let him egress. 3. Taxi on ground. Then park, shut down, and egress. 4. Fly a short hop. After that...
