We just call that side the arresting barrier. There's a reason fence companies put their name and phone number on the fence.

So, we testing nukes again?

Those lead additives aren't lead.

It is also to know the actual expiration date of your medical. Your Class 1 expires, but then becomes a Class 2 and ultimately Class 3 before it expires. I was under the impression you needed to keep the SI going until the medical "fully" expires as a Class 3 before you stop compliance with the...

21+ years ago. It is "held a valid medical after July 14, 2006", which means the Class 3 could have been 4 years before that. There is zero statistically defensible point to the initial 3rd Class before Basic Med. 25,000 pilots went on Basic Med within the first year it was available.

The key word is "failed". Tests done for medical reasons are positive or negative, not pass/fail. "Fail" means there was an administrative criterion against which it is being judged. That the question goes on to ask about illegal drug use only in the past two years supports the interpretation...

Our Plane-Power unit has been ticking away reliably for 14 years...

Tempting as it might be to save some pounds, in our 182Q, the battery location in the tail is pretty important to maintaining the forward CG limit. Operating with only two heavier folks in the front seats, we're right at the forward CG limit. If I lost 10 lbs at the battery location, I'd need to...

8500-8 is: "18.n. Substance dependence; or failed a drug test ever; or substance abuse or use of illegal substance in the last 2 years. "Substance" includes alcohol and other drugs (e.g., PCP, sedatives and hypnotics, anxiolytics, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, hallucinogens, and...

The source of the attitude from Chicagoans, I'm convinced, is that they've been brainwashed into thinking that a tomato-and-cheese bread bowl is actually pizza. They've been denied one of life's great pleasures, and we all suffer the consequences for it.

Who's gonna ask it the airplane-on-a-treadmill question?

Very sad news, RIP :(. He contributed a lot to this community.

That the question includes marijuana but not alcohol, specifically, would lead a reasonable person not otherwise required to be educated in the nuances of FAA jargon and definitions to conclude that alcohol was not meant to be included in that list. Similarly, the difference to the FAA between...

To take this to its next logical place, if you tested positive for THC in a legal-use state more than 2 years ago, would it still be considered a "fail"? Words have legal meanings, and it isn't clear that "failed" has a proper legal definition in this context. In the OPs example, I think the FAA...

When she sent them back to Approach she said "I'm sorry", and I'm pretty sure she knew she screwed up the timing enough to call the go around. I like friendly, but I'm used to flying in very busy airspace where there isn't much, if any, time for anything beyond what is strictly needed. I'd...

I would hope.

Just received ours, and the Acting Administrator signature is in the box. I'd contact the registration branch and ask for a replacement.

Yes, you are aware he is "holding out" on your behalf. You would need to decline to do those flights. In keeping with POA tradition, you must now further evolve the scenario so the line of questioning can continue.

It might be a California thing, but I've seen cars/trucks totaled recently here when the repair estimate was just over half the value of the vehicle paid out to the owner. It think it may be vehicles being sold for relatively high value as salvage and sold either out of state or in Mexico with...

Uggh. You might want to see if you can pick up someone's lease that they're trying to get out of.
