For me flight planning is aviation foreplay. More foreplay makes for a more enjoyable flight. I am a sectional enthusiast and spend time marking up current sectionals and compare what I see with Google earth. If it is complex airspace I get a terminal area chart. I love to reach each...

I recommend you spend the night in the house to see how big a problem it is for you. If I was selling I would be ok with a potential buyer spending the night. I was sparking with a woman whose house was about a quarter mile from the tracks at a place where the tracks crossed the road. Things...

The accident was at 21:50Z and sunset at nearby Baker is at 01:23Z.

It appears to me the trouble with investigating class two while you have basic med is if you fail it appears to me you can no longer get basic med. I instruct with basic med and find joy in only dealing with it once every four years (taking the knowledge test every two years). Every time I...

I enjoyed last year a lot. I will be driving in again. There was a lot to see and a lot for me to learn. I learned to fly at Buckeye and took my private and commercial there. I have a lot of good memories of my aviation adventure.

(b) Must submit the application to a Flight Standards District Office, a designated pilot examiner, an airman certification representative associated with a pilot school, a flight instructor, or other person authorized by the Administrator. In other words, any CFI, a designated pilot examiner...

Shyanne, I suspect you may be asking about more. Here are the answers to your question. If it is more please articulate what you are after. The below are from the Federal Aviation Regulations where many of the answers to your questions will be found. As you can see no log book entries are...

For those who lost the thread because of the change in thread title; I found it.

I am a moderator on another aviation forum and have found that often explaining the thoughts behind my moderation leads to a pointless debate about semantics. I look to POA as an example of moderation done well.

My father was a member of QB and it appeared to me parking was more of a challenge for him after a QB meeting. I recall they used to seat them based on which ear worked better.

I often find myself in disagreement with Dan Grirder’s probable cause videos and marvel at his willingness to blame people when it appears to me he knows so little about the event or the person he is condemning. I feel the study of aviation accidents has value to all aviators and sometimes when...

I have always negotiated the commission; buying or selling. My recent transactions started with a worthless realtor and after canceling with him found a realtor who more than earned his negotiated commission. He even paid for staging which I feel has great value. He sold my residence three...

I thought the chart supplement was to keep information current.

A J Smith may have some misconceptions on how and why someone gets endorsed for their practical test. It is not unusual for someone to change flight instructors during their journey to become a certificated pilot. It is my job as a CFI to actually see the learner fly to standards. Saying I...

In my opinion as a CFI I must see the applicant perform all the maneuvers to standards before I should endorse someone for their practical test. Depending on the situation that could take more than the required minimum three hours.

According to the Federal Aviation Regulations under Definitions and Abbreviations: Airplane means an engine-driven fixed wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. Glider means a heavier-than- air aircraft that is supported...

How? What are you seeing? I have found most people on POA to be helpful and generous with their knowledge as evidenced by this thread. I have found there is always more to learn about aviation and I become more advanced every time I fly.

I find it interesting that some people want the minimum amount of training and some are even proud of figuring out how to avoid training. Every hour I have spent with flight instructors has made me a safer pilot and I continue to learn. That is a part of what I love about aviation.

If I am flying a new to me aircraft it is my responsibility as pilot in command to learn how everything installed on the aircraft works. As a flight instructor I feel it is important that I understand how everything works so I can evaluate my learner and help her understand. It appears to me...

I start out with lots of restrictions and relax the restrictions as they gain experience.
