To the tune of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine: "I are on the beam in my aerospace machine, my aerospace machine, my aerospace machine..."

"Relax. You don't want to die all tensed up." "$h:t, this is like practicing bleeding."

Was able to do this with a club airplane, but a very specific deal. It was a Citabria, used for aerobatic and tailwheel instruction, and had just gotten a new engine. The club leadership had ruled that for a 25 hour breakin period, there'd be no aerobatics and no pattern work. So nobody was...

I should've been a bit more clear -- I see a lot of folks that got their TW endorsement some years back, but never soloed, and never accumulated any time after the endorsement -- they got their endorsement from outfits that don't let them solo. These pilots never cemented the TW techniques, and...

Another TW CFI here -- I agree with James331, and I read that FAR as me signing off that they're proficient in 3pt, wheel, and crosswind landings (and normal & crosswind takeoffs). There's a lot of opinions about what "proficient" means, and I have my own. Takes most tricycle folks about what...

I'd have to look, but I think I'd be hard pressed to find a field with an IAP that had minimums below 700' that didn't have class E to the surface. If it's class E to the surface and 700', no legal VFR traffic. SVFR required. Regardless, I've never had this happen either. VFR? Eyeballs...

I've got some familiarity with the kinds of system you're talking about -- where a large volume of system wide data (with years' of historical background) is used to identify sets of indicators that will ID a future problem. That has actually been made to work pretty well in the part 121 world...

First post here, but figured I'd chime in. Got my ag endorsement some 25 years ago (ex-wife kind of drove a change in career direction right after the endorsement). My experience was in the pre-gps era, but some of what I'm about to write likely still applies. You all are making the...
