Be prepared to spend serious money getting your medical back. The FAA takes a hard line on mental health issues. I suspect you are going to have a hard time proving that your mental health issues and any drugs you are taking leave you fit to fly.

There are laws that try to change behavior by imposing taxes, like on cigarettes and soda. This isn’t one of them. As I understand it, the law aims to slightly improve the horrible conditions that exist in factory farming of pigs and poultry. A completely unintentional side effect of the law is...

I was referring to the fact that if the price of meat goes up they will eat less and save money as well. Eating less meat results in healthier bodies and since meat is energy dense fewer calories. Losing weight would improve the health of just about everyone in America. It’s a win for everyone.

I have no idea how much meat costs but Sam’s club has prices online and the web has protein numbers. I have a bunch of food from the dollar store so I know the price and protein content—beans, pasta, bread, and peanuts. A quick check shows that you are very wrong though eggs come closest. I...

Actually a plant-based diet is cheaper than one based on animals, so they would be saving money by avoiding meat and eggs.

When they see the effect on their waistline and overall health, they might just think their votes were correct.

I’ve never been able to find a recommendation from an authoritative source but they all say that it takes 1-2 days to replace the fluid levels in your bloodstream and several weeks to replace the red blood cells. My layman's opinion is that you shouldn’t fly on the same day that you donate...

We flew over a coastal cloud layer yesterday into KSMO which was reporting clear skies and unlimited visibility. The approach end to Rwy 21 was clear but the other end of the field was covered in clouds and when we took off a few minutes later we had to turn abruptly at 300' AGL to stay 500'...

Why do you think you need additional certification if you already have a Part 107 certificate?

By flying under IFR you are acknowledging that your aircraft can depart the airport and climb at standard IFR climb rate of 200' per nautical mile. ODPs are constructed with that in mind (also no turns before 400' AGL). If a SID requires more than that, it is noted on the SID. Non-standard climb...

If you think that’s weird, Lucifer has a mother too. Try out Supernatural. The King of Hell has a mom too. Somehow these women never got mentioned when I was growing up.

Full flaps and aiming for full stall right at touchdown. The last notch of flaps increases drag a lot so be careful about reducing power too early.

Nope. Without evidence, Rand Paul claimed that he did. Fauci denied it multiple times.

Talk about first-world problems. Maybe you should get your lazy ass out of the car and walk to the gym.

It depends a lot on how many hours you fly each year since most costs associated with airplane ownership are fixed costs. From 2013 to 2018 a bunch of us flew my Cherokee. I spent $34,238 and we flew 680 hours or 136 hours per year. That averages $50 per hour when fuel costs were about $4.50 * 8...

X-Plane works great on my M1 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM. Works well enough for IFR practice on my 8 year old Mac Mini with all the setting set to the minimum, but not ideal.
