This one at my home airport. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-york/articles/2023-03-05/faa-small-plane-crashes-near-suburban-long-island-airport

Most likely someone looking to make some money off him.

Always makes me wonder how the FAA find out about all these possible scenarios. Either pilots writing to them to ask if they can do something, or people snitch on pilots.

That was my long x country back in 93. I push my students to do at least 250 on their long x country. 150 is a joke.

Can’t find anything further? Going a little further doesn’t hurt, and it guarantees the miles and time required. See too mant times, an student was 1 mile short, or .2 short.

We’ll you have fun with. You be you.

Nah, just listen to some music and enjoy the view.

I always teach students there are two types of fear. Healthy fear, the type of fear that should exist and keep you from doing something stupid or exceeding your limitations. Flying into possible thunderstorms, start to pick up ice, etc. But the logical thinking still prevails and the pilot can...

I can’t see the need for a simulator for a G5. It’s as basic as can be.

If you shoot through final, it’s best to just power up and go around for another circuit. If you are trying to tighten up and get back on final, thats where these stalls sneak up on you.

My argumeant would be how much money the system costs the HOA and how long they are obligated to have the system setup? So if everyone follows the speed and no money is being collected, the company providing the system still has to be paid.

I spent money on a PLB I keep in the plane. I have more faith in that than the time for notifications from FSS. Minutes matter in a crash or forced landing.

When large majority of Cessna and piper are white, makes no sense. And the little pinstripe of different color doesn’t change things much.

I’m still trying to figure out where the whole using plane color on CTAF became a thing. Flew for years no one used color, the. One day late 2000s people started using color. Which is fine if you have a yellow cub, or a an all read plane. But seriously when 6 white Cessna are in the pattern, why?

Due to FRG being such a disaster with flight schools, a ton of jet traffic, and a lot of locals flying, I would go to BDR. Tower guys there are always great.

Maybe it’s time you have a screw around flight. When I saw my students would hit a roadblock, I would do flight without any instruction, just go up and mess around or go sightseeing. Sometimes it helps the brain reboot, and remember why you want to fly.

HTO for years never had a tower, then about 10 years ago they went to seasonal Class D. Even during the summer they were not extremely busy, just more of the rich folk coming on jets and helicopters. Now there is a whole battle to make it a private airport.

Only way to avoid it is get an old school flip phone. We are now a commodity for marketing and research.

You can put whatever you want, PIC or not ATC is gonna make the decisions under IFR.

Just file airport to airport. ATC will decide how you get there.
