It does create a safety of flight issue between New York and Michigan as there is almost no detail while over Canada. In the past US sectionals covered this in the same details the rest of the US. The same applies between Florida and Puerto Rico.
US Sectional charts used to have rich detail of areas of southern Canada (esp between NY and MI), as well as the Bahamas and Cuba. This is gone in the latest chart revision.
Does anyone know why and if AOPA is doing anything to undo this?
I have been with USAA since I was 16 but the last claim I really did all the work on the injury claim with the other driver's insurance company (my wife was stopped and was rear-ended).
What do others suggest as a good company? The other driver was with State Farm and they were good to work...
USAA was good for the damage claim when we were rear-ended, but we went after the other insurer ourselves (near the two-year time limit) for medical, pain/suffering.
I am based in Reno. Realistically you are not going to fly this in a small aircraft as IFR here almost always means ice or thunderstorms. You can fly the X version of this as a traditional ILS… once they open the right runway in a few weeks.
I am more than twice your age, but even at 24, I did not drink and obviously did not need to hang out in bars to meet people. I think you have a choice to make between airplanes and alcohol as the two are not really compatible.
What is that rare exception? You can log PIC in the military without a civilian PPL and I think count it in civil aviation to some extent in nearly every case, but that would not be rare.
They are not building more hangars as there is too much government red tape. The waiting list at my airport is about 80 people and I am already paying almost $500/mo.
I have done a 2.5 hour flight in IMC from shortly after takeoff to shortly before landing. I won't do it without at least 1000' ceiling under me the majority of the way. If the engine quits you want at least a bit of time to figure out where to land when you pop out of the clouds.
I was in your situation before I got into flying and filed taxes with the IRS stating “itinerant- no fixed address”. I would hope the FAA could accommodate the same but you probably need to call Oklahoma City.
