Part of my annual condition inspection on my experimental aircraft is to swing the compass on the compass rose and adjust it. The imperfections are noted on the compass correction card. Part of my takeoff procedure is to see the compass agrees with the runway heading as published in the chart...

I was on a flight with a commercial pilot in a SR 22 who appeared to be as confused as the people on the voice recorder about entering an instrument flight into their FMS. The FMS tried to send us places he didn’t want to go and couldn’t find one of the way points. After fussing with data...

My DPE for private was very black and white. Either I met the standards or I didn’t. I failed my first attempt, took some more training and passed the next day. I am a flight instructor now and I don’t always meet the standards when demonstrating maneuvers. I learn from every flight.

Thank you for sharing your son and your love.

I love the Reno Air Races and I will miss them. I will miss the drive over US 50 to Carson City. I am grateful to all the racers for putting on such a wonderful show. As I walk around the pits I am amazed at the support systems some racers have. I know a pilot who was going to fly his...

I was taught and teach pilots when flying a new to them aircraft to spend time with the Pilots Operating Handbook. Limitations and emergency procedures are particularly valuable. I have found value in reading the POH many times.

I pay over $100 and hour for an A&P I don't see why my AME should not get the same. I paid $165 in California for my last class two medical and it is safe to say she spent more than two hours on it. My basic med was less than $100 two years ago in Arizona.

Two dead, six injured.

It appears to me that this is the second time Cessna N79203 made an emergency landing around here. Last one was on a soccer field near Lompoc (LPC) in August of 2021.

Having watched Dan Gryder's latest video, I understand everything now. Mark Baker makes too much money so of course any lawsuit against Gryder is bogus.

According to MEDCAN: Generally speaking, 30-100 mg of active cannabinoids (THC, CBD, etc) is considered a daily dose by most patients who consume cannabis regularly. However, it will vary per individual and the health condition you are looking to treat (8). It is not recommended that patients...

In my life it has not been one or the other. In my opinion I would not have a positive outcome if I told the learner that unless he pays more money I will not do a good job as his flight instructor. I feel knowingly abusing a client because of his ignorance about what constitutes quality...

I have never tied the quality of my work with the rate of my compensation and my needs have always been met. If I wanted more money I found a way to earn more money. I feel working down to a compensation is self limiting and with flight instruction it puts the clients and the flying public at...

I am driving to AirVenture and staying Monday through Saturday at a motel in Neenah, WI. I am visiting the Air Force museum in Dayton, OH and the WACO museum in Troy, OH before heading over to Mentone, Indiana for the Popular Rotorcraft Association Convention.

I file a flight plan so search and rescue will start looking if I am thirty minutes late and will have a general idea of where to look.

Zelienople is spelled phonetically zee-lee-uh-now-pl just like the township.

Welcome to the Santa Maria Public Airport!

Thank you for the explanation and so completely answering my questions. I find the time I invest in answering what turn out to be troll questions is often helpful in my flight instruction as I am better prepared for those who misunderstand the basics. I still have trouble understanding the joy...

I feel confused about trolls and I would be grateful for some clarity. I often go to considerable effort to help people who turn out to be trolls. I gain insight trying to help trolls so it may be time well spent. What is the goal of a troll? What is counted as a win for a troll? What is...

In my opinion all of it.
