    Plane crash on FL freeway

    The first thought the camera op had was...you can't land on a highway,dude...rather than hoping no injuries or deaths? Nice. R.I.P. to the victims. I hope it was quick.

    Pilot accused of spying on woman with plane busted for stalking again

    Well, THAT's different. He, apparently, violated an order of protection. He must've been low enough for her to get his tail number. Full Story

    FAA Tells Pilots To Go Analogue As GNSS ‘Spoofing’ Incidents Increase

    I'm a VFR Sport Pilot with just a few hours under the hood (to satisfy my curiosity). Am I mistaken that many VORs are being taken off line? IF that's the case then what's available to an IFR pilot if GPS cannot be trusted?

    Buying a LSA. Good idea?

    As others have mentioned an LSA will be like a leaf in even moderate wind. I have several hundred hours in a 162 and about a dozen in a Remos G3. I like the space for my flight bag, jacket, etc. in the 162...space that is missing from the G3. Beyond that they fly just about the same although...

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    How does one "justify" any hobby? We RVed across the country numerous times in 34, 35 years. Cheaper than a motel you say? Not for us. No kids, just us. Campgrounds and RV parks ARE less expensive than a hotel/motel as are meals, but a 5-7 mpg fuel "economy" really bites the wallet. We...

    OK, but is that an opinion or chapter and verse from a statute?

    PPR and Landing Fee Nonsense Again in Vegas for Superbowl

    Discrimination would be charging different $ for different aircraft in same class. If all piston engines in the same class are charged the same then seems like no discrimination. Best way to combat these high fees it is to not go. If enough boycott them then the rates should go down. If...

    I'd say someone got signed off to solo a bit early...

    That same scenario happened at my home field. A young female student on her first solo panicked at landing and had to be talked down. She also made it down safely. Great team effort!

    After first solo in student owned plane

    After my solo I was limited to x-miles from'y home field and I needed to prepare a flight plan for my CFI's review prior to doing the flight. As time went by the radius from the field expanded until he felt I was ready for my first 50+nm cross country solo. After that was completed my radius...

    Finding Downwind Struggle/Sweat

    At a towered airport I was taught to make a call 7-10 miles out and to follow ATC instructions. At my home field that was almost always a left downwind. Occasionally if it was not busy, I'd get a straight in approach. Rarely given a right downwind. At a non-towered airport, a left downwind...
