    When are the Class-E-to-surface areas near KSGH in effect?

However I seriously doubt that anyone will be monitoring them to try to catch an airspace violation in the meantime. You can always call Columbus approach and see...

    That’s the same experience I had with their customer service. I got out of the plane without removing my headset and ripped the wires out of it. I called customer service and explained what I had done and they took care of everything from there, quick and painless.

    ACS written question

    I know one DPE that insists that an applicant’s CFI send him the test code for all missed questions from the written prior to the practical so he can make sure he includes those areas on the oral. Most DPEs that I have observed don’t even look at the error codes so they have no idea what was...
