    PA 28 Down in Kentucky, Fatalities

    Here is a discussion on Reddit about this crash along with the actual snapchat video. This CFI killed his student as well as himself and frankly should have never been flying or teaching. By the way, NEXRAD images have significant lag. If it shows a system to your east, but it is moving...

    Pilot arrested for DUI blows .00

    Wow I saw that video and man, that guy was really smart and didn't panic. I'm usually on the polices' side but this officer should be prosecuted and fired. Shutting off the audio should be illegal and automatically charged with evidence tampering. I can understand why you would want a blood...

    What attributes do you think new MOSAIC compliant LSA aircraft should have to return General Aviation to 10,000 aircraft sales per year?

    Lets not forget that buying the plane is only the entry into the club. The yearly maintenance, fuel, hangar costs is really where a lot of that money goes. Someone just said they had hangars available at Ocala OCF for about 1k/mo.

    What attributes do you think new MOSAIC compliant LSA aircraft should have to return General Aviation to 10,000 aircraft sales per year?

    Remove a zero from that!! No in all honesty I think the largest driver in sales is going to be price. TBH I think a plane under 80k would do that

    Emergency Descents

    Looks like you are having too much fun with that. TBH my favorite procedure during training was spiral descents. My biggest worry is not a fire but the engine takes a dump and gets oil all over the windshield.. then I can't see.. That's my nightmare scenario.

    Emergency Descents

    if your airplane is on fire what is the first thing you are going to do? I for one would start the descent while I shut the fuel off.

    I'm officially slow but loving it ...

    A friend of mine has one and we went up a couple of times. It is definitely harder to land then a cherokee. I imagine it has to do with the landing gear having those rubber pucks. Also to me it had a crazy nose down attitude while flying and even worse while landing with full flaps out. It was...

    Stall base to final.. question on the pattern

    Yeah I understand why these things happen but my question is if they are they less likely to happen with wider patterns.

    Stall base to final.. question on the pattern

    So I have been wondering if stalls from base to final are more likely if the downwind lag is closer to the airport? The pilot makes the turn to base and then has to turn final when closer to the approach end therefore over/undershooting the approach. So my question is based on this assumption,if...
