Rgbeard I agree.

For the legal folks, would you recommend that if someone is stopped for suspicion of DWI/DUI they should insist on a breathalyzer or blood test?

Another interesting discussion. So to continue it, and out of curiosity as to what some folks will say, suppose the problem was with the COMM side of the radio not transmitting. How many would say this qualifies as INOP and should be placarded as such? .

Can you use the VOR for navigation? No, so it is INOP for its intended use so therefore it is INOP. If a GPS cannot display a position but can still display time to an incredibly small fraction of a second would you not consider it to be INOP? If a tire is only flat on one side would you try...

Seems simple and straight forward. Leave it in, INOP the Nav side until fixed or replaced.

Zak ask yourself what you want to do and why do you want to do it. You can overcome many things by hard work and demonstrating you have learned and applied your life experiences. As several folks have said above 99% of being a CFI involves things at which you are not good. Your conviction and...

As a training evolution these have some value. In the real world they are a good way to paint yourself into a corner. Always leave yourself an out...either be able to shoot an approach at the departure airport or have a good alternate within comfortable range.

Thanks!! Will try again soon.

How do you download the map of states where you have flown? I found the site to build the map but haven't been able to add the image. Thanks!

James331 you are correct that there are much worse places than the USA. I lived in Amman, Jordan for the better part of a year while working for one of their charter airlines as their lead aircraft performance engineer. Most (95%+) of the folks we (wife joined me for last month) met were...

James wake up and smell the coffee! Prejudice, racism and too many other *.ismsare all too present right here in the good old USA. Have we made progress, very definitely! Do we have a way to go before these issues are in our rear view mirror, yes. Too frequently these are considered dead...

Congrats on keeping your cool!

It would be great if we could see prejudice and discrimination as something that occured in the past and had gone the way of the dinosaur. Unfortunately it is still with us, albeit not as prevalent fortunately. Someone once said we must stand together or hang separately. Consider this a...

Thank you for sharing, much success on the rest of your trip!

TO piston engine always use max permissible power. Turbojet totally different set of circumstances, reduced power ok. Turbine engines retain their performance with greater predictability than piston engines over time and maintenance. Also the software to predict the aircraft's performance is...

Good luck for a thorough recovery!

None of us will ever know it all. All licenses/ratings are just the start of learning. Cruise clearances come in handy out here in the west over the mountains. Everyone have a great weekend!

Doc I find your behaviour odd. You hide behind an avatar based on a gunslinger card shark who died of syphilis and tuberculosis. I have never hidden my name and will gladly accept being compared to Norm who is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier but was a kind hearted, caring person who...

Ah yes, Sav! Very odd place. The movie Midnight in the Garden of Evil just scratches the surface. It used to be very introspective and clannish. If you were from outside you weren't welcome and neither was your money. Now they'll gladly take your money. Very large Jewish population who...

Didn't NASA once say if you dropped a brick from when the Shuttle enters the atmosphere the Shuttle will land before the brick? Or something like that...
