    (NA - sort of) Your at your local airport and witness a fellow pilot kick a dog on a leash

    Just kicked the dog out of the blue for no reason, or are you leaving something out?

    The 2019 Hawaii Crash and The “Bad Flight Instructor”

    No, it just said you ran an illegal charter service. Why did the FAA and NTSB decide to single you out?

    The 2019 Hawaii Crash and The “Bad Flight Instructor”

    What's the patch for this one look like? http://www.aerolegalservices.com/AviationLawDiscussions.shtml

    Is it just me, or is the PHAK poorly written?

    Looks fun anyway.

    selecting a CFI to work with

    I don't know enough to interview someone about their knowledge, and it's difficult to determine if someone can teach until you see them teach. I will probably just find a CFI who is experienced and not building time to move on. One with a lot of experience, the ability to pass it on, and a...

    Age 75+ Insurance

    Sometimes I make observations, or even (gasp) decisions, without a double blind study of the matter. How many hours in a day where you live?

    Age 75+ Insurance

    The number of bad drivers I encounter.

    Age 75+ Insurance

    My state also cuts the licensing period in half for drivers 70+. I can't tell it's made any difference.

    Emergency exit question - especially for Cherokee pilots

    Just a ruse to keep you distracted from your dire circumstances. A small kindness from the good folks at Cirrus, I suppose.

    All three Las Vegas airports will charge a $3,000 landing fee during F1 races

    Do those fees get bumped up by thousands of dollars to pay expenses for private entities?

    All three Las Vegas airports will charge a $3,000 landing fee during F1 races

    Doesn't all other publicly funded transportation infrastructure work just that way? Why are publicly funded airports different?

    Educate me on the aviation medical debate

    My state tells me it is a privilege they can suspend or revoke if I don't act right....or if a physician cites me in for a re-test due to a medical condition and I fail the test.

    Strength of GA?

    I suppose making contacts and finding out what resources are available locally, and who they are, might provide a clearer picture of the situation than the internet.

    Strength of GA?

    I probably have talked myself out of buying a plane. I'm not worried about the financial aspect, just ruining a fun leisure activity with problems beyond my control.

    Strength of GA?

    That is very likely what I'll do. There is a local club that operates 7 aircraft out of two airports close to me. They have several CFI's who offer PPL and instrument training. I could also get HP and complex endorsements through them with their aircraft. Their reservation schedule is...

    Strength of GA?

    I was planning to do on-line ground school last winter, get my physical, and start flight training as soon as it warmed up in the spring. I have the time and money now to get licensed and buy a plane. What has held me up is how much a pain in the neck everything to do with GA seems to be. The...

    Commercial Privileges Scenario Question

    Looking in from the outside, it seems the FAA has gone well above and beyond making regulations as convoluted and confusing as possible, even by government standards. It's impossible to generate voluntary compliance when people don't even understand what they are supposed to do. Someone with...

    Commercial Privileges Scenario Question

    I have no idea about the regulations, but it seems like this shouldn't have to be more complicated than spouses going somewhere in their plane. Is this being complicated by the regulations or by the spouses? Why must the wife be "hired" to fly their plane? I mean, couldn't they just go...

    All three Las Vegas airports will charge a $3,000 landing fee during F1 races

    The fee isn't being collected by the Clark County Department of Aviation, but rather by the FBO's who will retain it rather than remit it to the county?

    All three Las Vegas airports will charge a $3,000 landing fee during F1 races

    Surge pricing by publicly funded elements of our transportation infrastructure to pay expenses for private enterprises sticks in my craw. What would it cost to just require reservations to park and stay and stop taking them when parking areas are full?
