I'm still confused by what you mean by a dry cloud? So you mean what that's not actively precipitating? Or just one that's not producing ice? What do you mean by a wet cloud? What do you mean by a dry cloud? How can you tell the difference?

Can you explain that last sentence? What are dry clouds? Aren't all clouds visible moisture? What's the definition of known icing now? I'm not aware it changed.

I agree with geosync. It really comes down to your own career goals and timing. Will learning in a TW make you a better pilot? Yes. Will learning in a glider make you a better pilot? Yes Will learning in a tricycle make you a good pilot? Yes If you were 20 I'd say go fly gliders and TW for a...

There's also QNE, which is the standard altimeter setting (29.92 or 1013mb). The good news is you don't have to waste the time remembering which is which as you'll never use that info outside of a trivia contest. Unless you're flying in the UK where they use QFE instead of QNH. But I didn't...

I live closer to Boise, so I can't recommend specific locations for you. However, I did have a similar experience moving here after completing half my Private training and finishing it here in Idaho. It took me longer thanks to the move, but the varied locations, instructors, and environment...

Depends on the datum plane and the height units. Are you talking about GPS altitude in Mean Sea Level? Or is it showing Height Above Ellipsoid (HAE)? Is it using the WGS84 or WGS96 datum? Multiple factors that could all give an entirely different displayed number derived from a GPS solution, all...

6.5M would keep you above Nashville and Knoxville airspace. From Knoxville follow I40 down to Ashville and then to Hickory. That'll keep you clear of the higher terrain and give you options for flight following and emergency landing options. Go in the morning or evening to avoid most of the...

What if dad formed an LLC to own the plane and the son was listed as a member of that LLC? Then the son would be part owner and you avoid all these issues. Right? Assuming the son is not a minor.

Yes. At least while in the US NAS. You should see military aircraft near you on TCAS or ADSB in your aircraft. Just won't see them online or in some app on your phone.

Most Mil aircraft don't have ADSB. Flightradar24 filters out certain traffic for security reasons.

The playground at GMU (Greenville Downtown, SC) is adding a putt putt course as well. Lots of fun to wave at the kids while taxiing by. If out west visit KMAN (Nampa, ID) just outside of Boise. Fantastic warbird museum with operable P-40, P-51, static F-105 and Mig-21, plus more! Also has a...

There's a SuperAWOS at my home field. While slightly annoying to have to be deliberate with the mic clicks and the usual second to third attempt to get it right, I kinda like it. I enjoy not having to change frequencies to get WX. But it's in a rather rural area, so there's no much other radio...
