I did my private in 2015. I think I paid $450 or $500 back then. I need to figure out how to get a job as a DPE. Do two checkrides a day. Work five days a week? Clear $400k a year taking two weeks off?

Ain’t that the truth!

Glad that is out of the way! Checkride is scheduled for late October. I need to get a job as a DPE. The checkride fee is $800!!!

@plongson, did you stop in at Marble Canyon (L41)? That's a fun little airport.

I have been engaging in one of my favorites hobbies today, which is pursuing the NTSB accident database and reading reports. (by the way, I am very fun at parties) This particular crash caught my attention. https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket?ProjectID=100307 I am very happy to report that all four...

I don't see anywhere on the Phoenix Sectional chart that indicates that the class G airspace around Winslow (KINW) goes any higher than 1,200' AGL.

I'll use V291 as an example. From INW to the dashed magenta line, V291 exists from the surface to 17,999 MSL (my red line). From the dashed magenta line, to the shaded magenta line, it exists from 700 AG to 17,999 MSL (my green line), and the remainder of V291 would be from 1200 AGL to 17,999...

I believe victor airways exist from the floor of class E airspace up to 17,999 MSL. But Victor airways can cross B, C and D airspace. V16 leaves PXR and heads south across KCHD's delta on its way to TOTEC. So V16 between PXR and TOTEC exists in B, D and E airspace.... I think...

Getting a medical with a DUI is going to be very difficult. Flying an airplane illegally without a medical is not all that difficult.

That image is too small to make out exactly what airport it is. So let's use Winslow airport as an example (KINW). The faded magenta line means that the class E airspace has a floor of 700' AGL. It laterally abuts class E airspace with a floor of 1200' or higher. The other note on the...

Ok, so in that highlighted portion of the sectional, since there is no indication where the class E starts, that means, that by definition, it starts at 14,500. Is that correct?

The kind of person that is willing to do this in the first place is the kind of person that is willing to fly on New Shepherd after the investigation is complete.

Per 'the book' class G airspace can go up to 14,500' MSL. But in practice, is there anywhere in the US where that happens? One of the notes on the sectional chart says this: And then there's this bold method article that claims the class G airspace shown goes all the way to 14,500 MSL...

Ya, that video won't be going public.

The booster that failed was the 3rd New Shephard rocket built. It had never carried people. This was the 9th flight of booster number 3. Vehicle #4 has done all of the passenger flights, and has flown 8 times. Booster #1 failed back in 2015. Booster #2 was retired after the planned test of...

The article below shows a good representative example of abort booster numbers. Based on the article below, the Orion abort test booster can experience a velocity change of 405 mph in two seconds. That works out to an average acceleration of 9.22 g's for two seconds. I'd expect the New...

The capsule hit the ground at a nice leisurely pace after the parachutes deployed. The booster on the other hand???

I like this method of dealing with a picky instructor.

Probably more likely that a gust of wind forced a go-around, followed by a failure to maintain control. But that's total speculation... I'm sure more information will come out in the investgation. I did my first solo in a 150. They'll fly REALLY slow. From the picture, it looks like he's got...

You can see the soccer goals in the distance a little to the right in the picture in the news article.
