I was a subscriber to the print edition for nearly 20 years. I dropped it a year ago. It had become irrelevant. Given the viciousness with which they attacked me for not renewing, you'd think I alone was responsible for their demise. Good riddance...

"...and you are probably already weeping as you stare at your impending doom." LOL! :lol::lol::lol:

For some reason, plenty of CFIs seem to have trouble with this one. I had to diplomatically correct a very experienced CFI/DPE on a similar point (a PP training for high performance endorsement, instructor wanted to log it as dual only).

One of my primary instructors was a crusty old high-time pilot (somewhere between 10-15,000 hours, IIRC, all in pistons). He was (and still is) an A&P/IA also. I recall him telling me he'd never had an engine failure resulting in an off-airport landing. He also was of the opinion, based on...

I operate out of the same FBO as the OP, and while I once encountered the governor of the great state of NY, I have never run into any Hovitos Indians or zombies...yet. Jordan, you might consider grabbing a CFI next time in those conditions, as the club waives the wind limits with a CFI or CP...

Here's our club policy: Club aircraft shall not be removed from hangar or tie down when the wind velocity exceeds 25 knots, including gusts, or when the crosswind component exceeds the rated crosswind component as specified in the aircraft's operating handbook, except for maintenance reasons or...

Awesome video! Love the views of downtown SF and the waterfront! And not a whisp of fog in sight...

About the soda...I once leveled at 9500 on a long cross-country, settled back, opened a nice diet Mountain Dew...and next thing I knew, me, the seat and my right-seat passenger are covered in soda. At least the can wasn't pointed at the panel. :hairraise: Maybe it was just a fluke -- aren't...

Ooohhh. Gotcha. That's still cool.

Huh?? You joined the Coast Guard?? Really? Awesome...how did I miss that thread? :confused:

Excellent Ron! Exactly the info I needed. Thanks!

In my role as membership officer for my flying club, I've received an inquiry from a guy who says he holds a Brazilian private pilot certificate. He will be working in the US for a few months and is asking about flying club airplanes. What's the mechanism for him to obtain FAA certification to...

Sounds like the trip served its purpose as a learning experience. In the future, take the iPad. But leave it in your flight bag unless you're hopelessly lost. Nothing wrong with situational awareness, and I'm a big ForeFlight/iPad fan, but first, you need to figure out how to navigate by...

While my time in LSA is limited to about one hour, I think it's mostly a matter of what you're used to. The first time I got in a 150, after doing all my primary training in Warriors and 172s, I thought the thing was unstable and twitchy as all get out, in minimal turbulence. It's more a...

Saw an interview somewhere recently with the colonel who is the current AF One commander. He said something to the effect of, "Diverting is not an option, no matter the situation. The president has to get where he's going. We will get in." Thought that was interesting. I'm sure the aircraft...

Complete and utter nonsense. I never gave it much of a thought until yesterday. I fly out of Syracuse, but live some distance away, and trained at rural airports many miles from any stadiums. I started flying out of Syracuse last year after football season was over. I am not a sports fan...

Congratulations, Mr. White. Well-done!

Lindy, Welcome to POA! I should point out that since I started this thread a few months ago, I've completed four (I think) transports for PnP. It does help when the regulars recognize your name. And the majority of them still don't occur, for one reason or another. But as to your...

I hate roller coasters. I'll never set foot on one again as long as I live. I can, on the other hand, do stalls all day long and it doesn't bother me in the least. :D When my daughters were 13, they were fearless. Now that they're in their 20s, not so much. My youngest has flown with me a...

No. It sold via eBay.
