    Shortest Cross Country

    If we are talking airport to airport, my shortest would be about 200 feet. Took off from Lufker 49N and landed at Spadaro 1N2.

    Best Practices for Flight Planning

    I worked for a 135 back in the 90s that had approach charts for the entire country. The dreaded headache of updated those papers charts every time the updates came. 3 of us would spend hours.

    The weather briefer earned his money today

    I’m very surprised he gave such detail. Usually the briefer are so afraid of getting sued if something goes wrong they just give the vague VFR not recommended.

    Quality of Flight School Aircraft

    Reduce, that would never happen. I have seen student and CFI do preflight, start up, busy airport so a little time to get to run up area. Mag checks are a disaster, cancel flight, taxi back, tie down. School charged the student for the .4, CFI did not add time billing time. Student went back and...

    Quality of Flight School Aircraft

    Majority of flight school aircraft are beat to hell. Some schools operate on thin profit margins and really can’t fix them the right way. Some schools will only fix to what keeps the plane legal. Some schools do put the proper care into the planes.

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    I will throw out the gender bias relating to female pilots in Videos. I have seen videos of this quality flying, some even worse. And the guys get on the comments praising them for doing such a great job. Like they have a chance of getting a date. Videos of male pilots not doing as bad, all the...

    Evading interior border checkpoints by flying over them

    Once they have paid to get across the border, which is where the big money is. Theoretically if they managed to get in the plane and takeoff, yes they can bypass the interior checkpoints. But now in reality if there is a known nexus to a border crossing, that plane can be met anywhere by...

    Strength of GA?

    The backbone of GA is all the students, and pilots trying to make it to the airlines. GA for owners is where the real effects are being felt. Airplan prices, LL, MX, insurance, hangar/tie downs have killed off the middle class working man from owning their own plane. I mean they can get a 60...

    independent CFI airport prohibition

    So if you have a friend that flies out of that field, and you go fly with him a few times a month and during these flights you provide some instruction. Can they really say anything?

    Zoom Hearing City of Miami for Redlight Camera

    I know here in NY I see toms of plates with the numbers scratched out. So they benefit on no red light cameras, speed cameras, tolls. I honestly don’t think the cops even care, especially so cars with the plates scratched out.

    Crossing into the US from Canada with an explosive device.

    You would have to check with customs and border protection. They will tell you what you would need or need to do.

    Advice for an aspiring pilot is appreciated!

    Keep working on your hours. CBP, DEA, FBI have pilot positions open up, CBP being the biggest fleet pool of pilots, but expect to be on the DE Border for a while. If you look on USAJOBS.GOV that is where you can find any pilot job in the gov. But they all have similar minimums.

    Operating in Class D without clearance

    Yes exactly, just seems some pilots don’t grasp that D and C are the same requirements, and the pilot must still follow ATC instructions in D same as C.

    Operating in Class D without clearance

    You don’t need a clearance to operate in C Airspace. Same establishment of communication is only required.
