    President Obama's free 2 Year Community College law.

    Something I've not seen mentioned here is that other countries that offer "free" collage also require you to pass exams to be qualified to go to school. Here for CC you just sign up and for many state schools you simply have to graduate from HS. Yes the top state schools do turn away a lot of...

    I just checked the POH for a 77 182Q ( which I have ) and it shows the baggage limits as 200 lbs not 150.

    why would you want two transponders?

    If the plane operates near the Washington,DC area then it's not a surprise they would want two. losing a transponder is very bad here.

    I flew out and met a dozen people in 7 planes for lunch at KGED. Best news that a friend down in Savannah got his PPL yesterday.

    Andreini Family Suing Air Force for $10 Million

    I just watched it and a pickup truck was there in the first minute then at a 2:33 second mark a larger vehicle arrived and then at the 4:02 a still larger vehicle arrived. From that video it's hard to tell what the various vehicles were doing but it's also clear that the plane was on fire from...

    Andreini Family Suing Air Force for $10 Million

    I've seen many people saying that the 5 minutes response time was too long but the NTSB report that was linked in one of the posts says it was between 3-4 minutes. Just how far did the trucks have to roll on a 10,000 runway to get to the crash site?

    Got food

    I would suggest you host a dinner at your house for those in your community who don't have enough to eat. I'm sure that local churches or social service organisations can put you in touch with those who need to eat.

    Why I don't want to be stuck on 100LL

    As noted it's a 470U that has the 8.6:1 compression ratio and you cannot get a mogas STC for it.

    Why I don't want to be stuck on 100LL

    I know that high compression engines like the O-470U in my 182 can't get a mogas stc because mogas does not have the detonation rating needed for high compression engines but does anyone know if any work has been done on lowering the the service ceiling for a plane to allow it? It's my...

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    The key difference here is that they already had a policy forbidding the use of a plane.

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    I guess I did not articulate my point well enough. You're reimbursing someone for traveling a certain distance to perform some work for your company. The cost and method of how they traveled that distance should not matter. It's the distance/reimbursement that matters.

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    Part of not saying anything and just putting in for car mileage is to give a company deniability. If the employee seeks reimbursement for travel at a rate less then they spent why is it a problem for the company? Do you vary your reimbursement based on the operating costs of your employee...

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    I'm not sure if you meant me or not but if you reread my post I never said lie, I said put in for reimbursement based on the car rate. That is not a lie.

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    Unless they already have a specific policy against it, I would not say anything and simply put in the mileage for a car. I work for a fortune 5 company that does have a policy against using a plane so I'm stuck.

    vanity plates

    The plates on my Porsche read Fly2Low. When I got the car it was faster then any plane I flew but I've since gotten a faster plane.

    Jetta TDI

    Given that it does not appear that diesel is tracking unleaded in terms of prices, I'd say you may be better off with a gas hybrid like the Prius.
