    Class E extended to ground airports

    To look at it from another perspective, Center or Approach control only the air, not runways or taxiways. A non-towered field (doesn't have "CT" on the sectional) has no tower controlling traffic on the rwy, ground or in the pattern. Another big indication is the inverse C on the chart next to...

    Keep hand on the throttle during takeoff??

    Great answers here. To back them up with a story: I let a freshly minted private pilot fly with me once as the PF. On climbout, I noticed we weren't doing so well, something was off. I noticed the throttle had backed out some. I said "full power, dude, full power, NOW ... and keep your hand on...

    How to crash land an Airplane on a freeway.

    Humor is pretty subjective, everyone has different taste. And I have no idea how I would even try to grade someone's humor. I like both Paul and Rod Machado (actually met him in person, nice guy). Never found the Kings to be funny. Again, humor is subjective. Would you want to organize a Paul &...

    Home simulator logging

    Please do keep us appraised. I am curious. You too. If you get an approval letter from the FAA, please do post back about your experience with the process. Many sim enthusiasts have setups that put all the flight school BATDs (combined) to shame. I have to laugh every time one of our local...

    Student Pilot License held up because of Government shutdown?

    It seems that the FAA is working this month, I got my aircraft registration renewal cert within a few days of renewal online. For whatever this is worth. Hopefully the pilot cert department is staffed as well. Good luck!

    Santa's Workshop RNAV 18

    This plate always makes its rounds every winter. It doesn't get old. :) Plus this, AFAIK, is the only straight in approach to rwy 18 with approach course of 360*T. :D

    How to crash land an Airplane on a freeway.

    Paul definitely makes some funny videos. Not sure whether he writes his own material but his delivery sure is nicely subtle yet in-the-face. :) I enjoy his videos. Education with humor always makes the key points stick better.

    Why are you a pilot?

    Why WOULDN'T I be a pilot? A real man is not afraid to kill a spider, ride a horse, motorcycle, shift a stick or fly a plane. Those who can't, have to get married or pay professionals (real men) to do it for them. Those of us here are lucky that we were born with this gift of all these being...

    Meigs to roepen, like, for real?

    Lots of mommies with baby carriages and walking their ****-Zus at the new park who have plenty of time to write angry letters and oppose this "new development". My prediction: it ain't gonna happen.

    What happens if you fly a drone in a moving elevator?

    This kid only plays with toys and has no basic understanding of the laws of nature. Maybe if he didn't flunk physics 101, he could have saved his toy. :( Next video request: airplane on a conveyor belt runway that's matching its takeoff speed. :D :D :D

    ^^^^ That Now, for those with inquisitive minds, how does the FAA approval process work? I tried googling (for S&G) but did not get any good hits. (probably just my poor googling skills)

    Minor outrage of the day: Robodialer Customer Surveys

    Nobody bothers me with robocalls. I haven't picked up an unknown number in over a decade. Smart people will leave a voicemail. Even smarter people will text me. Dumb people and low-lives can go f*** themselves. *shrug* Yes, the SOP for phone calls sure has changed but the new one works fine so...

    Things on the Yoke

    Tru dat! Why clip it to the yoke when they can mount their maxiPad right up on top of the panel? Right in front of their face is the best for perfect picture. They're not looking outside anyway, staring only at their toys so what's the harm? :D (while facetious, I am still partially serious)

    Out of fuel in flight. Some life saving tips.

    Hey, Br-Y-an, I have the same Master Caution light! Are they synced? Do they both come on at the same time in our airplanes? How do they work? What do they mean? I tried pushing on mine and it didn't do anything. I tried pushing on the button next to it a few times and (although I hate to admit...
