Well given the level of disgust shown by nearly everyone on this thread about the Hogan test (or any other) it would seem the best method for weeding out independent thinkers and aviation enthusiasts is very simple: (1) Do you post or respond to threads on POA?” (2) if your answer to #1 was...

Well I blasted off for a trip to ME last night. Filed just so I could stay with it even though VFR. Landed at a small uncontrolled airport in ME. Very hazy and approach had to drop me at 3500 since that was their mva. I landed (after one go around - runway surrounded by trees so it was a...

I agree. I just figured with the nearly $100 discount I might try some of the features but after taking a closer look I really can’t see much use for a regular GA pilots. Some nice bells and whistles but I’ll put $100 I to something else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my renewal for ForeFlight is up. I just got my IFR ticket and I plan I’m doing more flying. I had Basic Plus but I have a credit for some reason of about $95 so I can get the Performance Plus for just a few more dollars. Just curious if others in GA are using that version. The D-Atis seems...

Well my wife didn’t like my flying 25 years ago when I bought a plane shortly after getting my ppl. We had 3 small kids and economically I had no business owning a plane at the time. I ended up taking 15 years off of flying (life and career choices) and started up again 2 years ago (just passed...

I don’t know if there are any facts to support the teardrop 45 entry as safer but it’s what I almost always do. I prefer to not feel rushed turning downwind at midfield and find myself abeam the no#’s a few seconds later (I guess that depends on length of runway). Also if it is windy the turn...

Holly crap. That’s a tragic story and I can’t imagine what you went through. Your efforts were no less heroic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the AIM reference. Surprisingly I posted this on a FB site for ATC and I received multiple different answers. This seems more definitive. Appreciate it. I’m glad I stuck with my answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually it’s a bit confusing. Those quadrants are not MSA altitudes. They are part of the approach altitudes. One ATC person responded as follows: “No MSA on this chart, but rather a TAA. MSAs are for used for emergency purposes only and guarantees obstacle clearance, but not necessarily...

Well it wasn’t a straight lost comms scenario. First assume the radios were deteriorating and they finally go. Assume previously cleared to KBTV Rnav 15 approach. Ceilings at minimums. If ammeter goes to zero how much battery life do I have? What can you do to reserve power? If Concord airport...

Glad to say I am now among the IFR rated. Passed my check ride on Friday. What a stressful endeavor it was. Approx 2 hour oral and not a single weather question! Lots of other stuff including an exhaustive conversation about electrical failure. 3 approaches, crazy unusual attitudes, rain and...

Based on what? Safety pilot is not in control of aircraft. They’d be barking up the wrong tree. Also what’s a non IFR pilot doing flying in below minimum weather for? He’s have bigger issues to deal with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to add one more thing. You might be thinking in terms of a CFII in right seat providing instruction. You’re not doing that as a safety pilot. You’re there just to watch for other aircraft and make sure pilot doesn’t wander into clouds and maintains VFR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a little surprised as an IFR rating pilot you are not familiar with safety pilot requirements. 91.109: (c) No person may operate a civil aircraft in simulated instrument flight unless— (1) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least: (i) A private pilot...

And do the employees and their families really know the risk of being in a twin piloted by a non commercial professional pilot? Ugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My CFI has done that on me in practice. Shut off ForeFlight and asked me what I was going to do. Paper paper paper. I print out approaches I’ll need for the flight - within reason. I even have back up charts for en route. It’s not just a check ride issue - what will you do when the iPad...

Also, wouldn’t the lower MDA’s on the LPV and LNAV put you closer to the runway and further down the glide slope and hence the need to meet a more aggressive client gradient if you have to go missed from that point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Taking the wife for flight Saturday. Looking for some suggestions for nice GA airports in MA, NY, CT, ME, VT for morning run and breakfast. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The reason the LLC doesn’t offer much liability protection because the LLC as a corporate entity is essentially a sham. The LLC isn’t really performing any corporate function so piercing the corporate veil is easy. It’s just an extension of the personal owners private life. However an LLC still...
