Thank you for your help. To be more specific how many lumens do I need to see as well as my quartz landing lights? How many lumens would be useful to see well? This last post is a good example, $40 for 2,100 lumens or do I need the parmetheus plus with 4800 lumens for $275 from Amazon? What...

I am trying to learn about par 36 led landing lights for my experimental aircraft. I am currently using 100 watt halogen lights. I would like a useful light output although I seldom fly at night. I like the wig wag feature to increase people’s ability to see my aircraft during the day. The...

Thank you PaulS. I am often confused by the differences between flying rotorcraft and fixed wing aircraft. Many of my clients are fixed wing aircraft pilots and it is common for them to imagine that more power will make the gyroplane go faster and I wondered where that came from. This young...

Thank you all for all you do. I participate in another aviation forum that has become a political forum filled with insults and hate. A little moderation goes a long way to preserve aviation.

In my limited fixed wing training I was taught that angle of attack was what caused a wing to stall. I was taught to get the nose down to address a stall. This appears to me to be at odds with the opinions of the pilot in the video. Was I taught incorrectly? What would the correct procedure...

More common is at taxiway Romeo with information Juliet.

I have always been treated well at the Signature FBOs I have visited and I am not flying a jet.

In my opinion the student’s job is to make mistakes and the instructor’s job to make teachable moments out of the mistakes. I have found it helpful to look at the airport diagram as part of my flight preparation. Most flight planning software will print out an airport diagram and I identify my...

Congratulations and thank you for sharing the fun!

I love a story with a happy ending.

My phase one was finished long ago. I am a flight instructor and I have been giving the wrong information because I had not seen the latest operating limitations. POA seems to have a lot of pilots so I thought I would ask. Thank you, Vance Breese

I love a story with a happy ending. Thank you for sharing the fun!

Thank you. What I found confusing is that my operating limitations issued in 2010 appear to prohibit and the latest operating limitations appear to me to allow it.

May a student pilot legally fly phase one of his experimental amateur built aircraft operating limitations with a solo endorsement for that aircraft?

I have had two Rotax 914 engine outs in two different Auto Gyro, Cavalon gyroplanes. One was from sinking floats and one from using automobile gas and had vapor lock during a training exercise. I had one engine out with a Lycoming IO-320 powered one of a kind experimental gyroplane because of...

I have not been able to find any reference to “supervised solo” in the FARs. The closest I have been able to come is FAR 61.129 that requires ten hours of solo for commercial as part of the required aeronautical experience. That requirement may be met either solo or while performing the...

With an electric starter there is no emotion. Either is works or it doesn't. With a kick starter it feels magical if it starts on the first kick and you have a tremendous feeling of accomplishment if she starts on the tenth kick. It is a little like hand proping an airplane although less...
