I'm in the group that has no problems with using progressive lenses when flying. It took me a month or two to get comfortable with them, though...that was about 15 years ago. When I first got progressive lenses I used reader glasses when working on the computer (I hated having to turn my head...

Here's a link to a YouTube video of George Braly's presentation about G100UL at 2024 Osh. It's a bit long, but it is pretty interesting...in an unleaded kind of way. Thanks Martin Pauly!

When I took the COGScreen test a few years ago, I tried not to make any mistakes in my answers, but I wound up going too slow. Basically, the test is for correct answers + speed (both are important). I retook the test and instead of worrying about getting some answers wrong, I just answered the...

All I know is that there is no spoon.

Ahh, thanks for the info. I missed the deregistered part!

I'm only a newish member of a flying club, so I'm no expert; but why should that stop me from pretending! ;) Does FAA webpage help? https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/ If you have submitted documents to register a recently purchased aircraft and...

It seems like all piston engines and airframes are approved for the G100UL STC once it gets signed off by the FAA in DC (see video below). It seems like a single STC is all that will be needed. What exactly are you referring to, @ARFlyer?

I'm sorry to hear about how your floaters are effecting you. It's great to hear that the doctors are telling you that your eyes are healthy, even though they are currently a major annoyance in your life. Healthy eyes is a good thing. Good mental health is also a good thing. Have you considered...

You will need go through a HIMS AME doctor to get a Special Issuance Medical for an SSRI. The HIMS AME doctor will know what you need to do be successful, so don't feel overwhelmed at this point. I recommend contacting Dr. Bruce Chien (@bbchien) via his website. Dr. Bruce is a PoA member and he...

FWIW, my HIMS AME ensured that my full name, birthdate, SSN, and PI# was on every page he sent. I don't know why the SSN was needed, but I didn't question what he wanted. I created and printed a bunch of small sticky labels for him to use. That said, I didn't have 1,000 pages to send! Perhaps...

I'm pretty sure that I knew that guy in high school! ;)

I totally agree with @kgruber...I have had mild tinnitus for quite some time as well. For me, the best thing to do when it becomes bothersome is mask it with other sounds. Playing rain or ocean sounds work well for me at night. Tinnitus is definitely annoying, and it took me some time to get...

USB-C is an open standard. Apple, however, does have the habit of using new-fangled connectors before the rest of the world moves that way--so sometimes it appears that Apple has created something new and proprietary. USB-C is starting to become commonplace among electronic gizmos. We had a good...

Definitely this. ^^^

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that the answer to your question is, no. After reading many questions and answers in this forum, it is clear that FAA Medical is only interested in your medical condition. If you haven't already...to get the correct answers to all of your SSRI medical certificate...

If the "chief pilot" is not a CFI, how could he have any dual time given hours?

Good info @Clip4! Thanks!

I would not join this club due to the non-CFI check ride--it just doesn't feel right to me for multiple reasons. First off: Does the club provide insurance to its members? If so, does the insurance company accept check ride evaluations that are performed by a non-CFI? Secondly: Does the club...

I'm a member in a flying club in northern California. Californians pay 51¢ per gallon in auto gasoline taxes, so our mogas cost is around $4.30 per gallon right now. The avgas at the airport where I fly is $5.15. So, it costs me about $120 per hour (wet) to fly an Archer II from my club (not...

Was the pilot related to Erwin Schrödinger?
