And here is a link to the amendment that created the loophole in 1952. https://planeandtrainwrecks.com/Document?db=DOT-CARS&query=(select+22+(byhits+(field+DOCUMENT+(anyof+balloon))))

Here’s a link to the NPRM that closed the loophole. https://planeandtrainwrecks.com/Document?db=DOT-CARS&query=(select+7+(byhits+(field+DOCUMENT+(anyof+Balloon)))) Apparently at that time hot air balloons didn’t use onboard heaters to maintain the air temperature in the balloon.The air was...

A really thoughtful neighbor rakes and bags his leaves and your leaves…..;)

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 … The letter of the law appears pretty clear to me.

Have you requested a SVFR clearance? My understanding is that you have to specifically ask for it before they can approve it. Have you visited the tower to talk to the controllers and see why they won’t approve it?

I’ve heard that this solution works best and fastest if you start by replacing the plane with a new one.

Why should an AME or any doctor be forced to examine or treat a patient unless it’s a case where death is imminent without that doctor’s treatment?

The new rule still requires the 8710, the only real change is that they won’t issue a new card every 2 years.

Doesn’t really change that much for most flight instructors. They will still have to meet the same requirements every 2 years but just won’t receive a new card each time now.

That policy changed in 2017.

Because knowing that I was gonna have to pull that string felt like I was marching to the gallows.

My doctor had me remove my own stent at home, it was longer than I expected.

Nassau County Fl. Two of the high schools in the district have a private pilot ground school class. The district owns a DA-20 that was donated and the students can do flight lessons at a reduced cost. The local EAA chapter provides a couple of scholarships every year for students to complete...

A ground instructor doesn’t even have to be a pilot.

He went for the first class because it was a requirement for a scholarship that he applied for, otherwise he doesn’t need a 1st class. He is going to college to be an engineer and isn’t planning on being a professional pilot. However if he changes his mind I think he would be better off...

Yes, I think he can safely fly with basicmed.

I have a student who currently has a 1st class with an SI. He said the SI was for ADHD but when I saw the paperwork it also listed adjustment disorder and depressive disorder. He claims that his therapist never told him that he had those disorders and he quit seeing the therapist because he...

Our local district has a Diamond Katana that was donated. The local EAA chapter donates hangar space and the plane is used for flight training.

It doesn’t sound like an accident that needs to be reported. However, if it closed the runway I am unsure if the airport manager has to make a report to the FAA about the reason for the runway closure. I once had a nose wheel go flat when I landed and I wasn’t able to get the plane off the...

I have the EGO pole saw, leaf blower, lawn mower, and power station that I can put 4 batteries on and use like a generator. Ian ripped a couple of branches out of my cedar trees, they always seem to split instead of breaking so I had to cut them the rest of the way out of the trees. The pole saw...
