Well POA can be a harsh place to get advice. I think, however, that I would agree that if you haven’t done the IMC transition into clouds and you’re worried about it..that should end the discussion for you. It’s okay to be cautious and it’s okay to know your limits. It’s not a great idea to...

Very sad. [emoji853] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This week has been bad and yes this has given me pause about flying. Truly having to decide whether I want to continue in the risky activity. Very sad for everyone who has lost someone this week. (Yes I know hundreds of people died in car accidents this week too.) but cars have a more...

Nice of you to share your experience. 7 hrs in last year is rusty and as you suggested a CFI is a great idea to do some air work. All of it helps with confidence and more importantly procedures. It’s not a forgiving hobby. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow - 2 things here (1) make it air worth without spending $$$$ is likely a pipe dream. In the best or purchases there is always money that needs to be spent - ask anyone about their FIRST annual. (2) the issues related to the estate are serious and can really affect title and especially your...

THIS[emoji3516]. I very rarely find traffic that I see on my ADSB, which make me nervous that if I see traffic close enough that I have to take evasive action I’m probably already in the Sh$&!t. I don’t know how the Cub takes off and goes through the pattern area (which they all know about )...

I flew into there the next day and on departure had a Canadian goose pass in front of me. He was pretty big. I could see a bird strike at night after departure being a huge problem. Pure speculation but given they were both IFR rated seems like spacial disorientation right after takeoff would be...

There’s a difference between some of the inadvertent VMC into IMC that occurs and sometimes it’s just sudden changes in weather. This accident does make me angry as well because it’s obviously someone who was arrogant as hell and likely (as someone else mentioned) probably someone who did it...

No. It applies to all planes flying in Canada. The CARs require pilots to carry proof of liability insurance on board their aircraft when operating in Canadian airspace. This applies to all aircraft, including private, amateur-built and ultralight aircraft. The type of coverage is based on the...

Asking for a friend. It appears one of the documents required to fly into Canada is proof of insurance with specific liability limits. What happens if you have wrong limits? Is this checked every time you arrive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And I still don’t understand given the controllers “concern” for clarifying 30L why he couldn’t simply have said “we have a 172 doing patter work on 30R, let me know when you have traffic in sight” or some similar situational alert. Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered but it seems a reasonable way...

Thanks for feedback! That’s helpful Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m flying to OSH for 1st time with a buddy. I see camping rules say only one tent unless for immediate family. How strict are they on this? I’d prefer not to share a tent with my buddy. We each have individual tents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flying along beautiful today with AP working fine and alt hold doing it’s job. Was at 9500 then I noticed all the annunciation lights on the device were lit at same time. Alt hold started acting up so I disconnected. Shut AP off and did test and all the lights were back on. Anyone have...

I’m confused by this explanation. Once the SI is issued he can apply for Basic Med. When he is on basic med (and he doesn’t send any tests results back for his SI in 6 months) the 3rd Class medical ends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is INCORRECT. As long as the SI is in effect (as it is now) he can switch to basic med before the SI expires. The language of the regulation is pretty clear that if an SI has been issued then you can apply for basic med. it does not require you reach the end of your 3rd class medical...

I think ATC supervisor should be placing a call to the flight school about sending students there without training. That was painful and I felt bad for the student - she was not ready to be in that environment. I still use a knee board and when given taxi instructions write them down. It sounds...

Thanks. That’s what I was looking for. I’ll read those Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m considering moving up to a twin from the Comanche 250. I like the Aztec for load hauling and what appears to be a relatively simple twin platform. What are the gotcha’s that I need to be concerned with? My Comanche is 1962 bird so I am familiar with issues on maintaining an aging aircraft -...
