No. He confirmed my endorsements and that was about it.

Martha never bothered me very much. I always thoughts she was a good teacher. John kills me though.

My 15 year-old son is about to start his flight training. Does anybody have recommendations for an online ground school that is appealing to a teen? I’ve always used the King Schools and enjoy them. However, I’m not sure their outdated videos and grandparent humor resonate with today’s youth...

Very cool! It’s on my bucket list

Lunch or dinner at Stearman Field (1K1)

While both types of errors (unintentional vs intentional/arrogant) are obviously bad, I am more afraid of errors due to arrogance and hubris. If he had immediately apologized and asked the controller if he could get a clearance now, or if he should leave the Bravo, we never would have heard...

My CFII and I would actively seek out IFR conditions for our cross countries, which I highly recommend. I remember doing an ILS into KMEM, popping out of the clouds at 600' and having a FedEx DC-10 off my left wing on the parallel approach. It was a very cool sight.

I’m embarrassed to admit I had no idea this book existed. It looks unconventional enough to check it out, so I just ordered it. Thank you!

I just watched a couple of these - MKC and MSY. They’re very well done and informative. I hope the FAA keeps this up.

I used the King courses to learn the material and Sheppard Air to ace the tests. One good thing about the King courses are the short video snippets for each topic, so it allows for quick review if you need further clarification. Their terrible, cheesy jokes get old quick though. I have a...

I fly to JKA regularly from NEW for lunch at Lulu's and can vouch for their FBO. I think it would be much better than flying to JKA than into MOB for the reasons already mentioned. Also, Dauphin Island is geographically distinct from Gulfshores. It is on the other side of Mobile Bay and with...

Yet almost all holding patterns are to the right. Does the group have idea why? Left turns seem so much more natural.

I have an old Jeppesen paper log. I use an electronic logbook as a backup and to double-check my math (I'm amazed at how many small math errors I've made over the years), plus they are great for calculating currency. However, these companies may or may not be around forever. Your paper logbook...

Many small country highways and roads have powerlines running quite close and parallel to them which may not be readily apparent from altitude, so keep that in mind if you choose this option.

I don't understand the night takeoff and landing requirement - why in the pattern and at a towered airport? I did my commercial training in the winter so it was easy to just go up at a reasonable hour after sunset and knock out 10 more. Then I had it as a single logbook entry so there would be...

I recently had my commercial check ride and asked my DPE the question about solo XC. I have plenty of XC’s that meet the requirement, but always had my wife or somebody else with me. I only have one XC I could find that met the requirements and in which I was truly alone in the aircraft. When I...

Can you speak with other members in the flight club about this issue? Perhaps you’re not the first who has had this problem. If you are the first, then others will know to keep an eye on it themselves when they fly that airplane. If several people report a similar problem then the operations...

You can often predict the departure runway based on wind direction and plan accordingly. Also, pick your first checkpoint a relatively short distance from the airport (~ 5 miles) so it will be visible regardless of which direction you depart. Unless you're departing from a busy airport you...

1. File a NASA report if it’s not too late 2. Don’t sign anything yet 3. Get an aviation attorney My question to the OP is does “lawfully in class C airspace” mean you had established radio communication and were inside the class C ring, or had simply established radio communication with...
