    Electronic Logbook (MFB or FF) - Converting a student logbook - DUAL signatures and endorsements?

    Too bad my CFI isn't on this board. He could tell you the hassle he experienced when he lost his logbook. Always...ALWAYS...have a backup of your logbook, paper or electronic. So, no, don't toss your original.

    Backups Backups Backups. I maintained both a spreadsheet and physical logbooks and backed up the Excel sheets and copied the physical logbook pages. Got into that habit after my CFI lost his logbooks with no copied or digital copies. Overkill? I've been accused of that but I think of it as...

    Suspected Carb Ice...Rare Magneto Failure

    I'm glad you're OK and learned a few lessons along the way. But I'm a bit surprised your CFI never taught when and how to sump the tanks. Even more surprised at the failure to sump wasn't mentioned by the DPE at your checkride. Blue Skies

    Ercoupe crash: Fitzgerald, GA

    not changing the subject....but when I was working 9-1-1 we'd get multiple calls for a stray dog but usually just one, sometimes two, calls for major accidents. One weekday I had a train vs pedestrian accident at a station stop. One call from the conductor. None of the commuters on the...

    Company in England experiments with human waste to produce a 'net zero' aviation fuel

    When I first saw the headine I just poo-poo'ed it. But if successful there'd be an abundance of raw, umm, material. https://justthenews.com/search?text=Company+in+England+experiments+with+human+waste+to+produce+a

    Pilot Lies to ATC

    But he did lie to ATC. He never flew a heading of 070 as suggested (instructed??) early oon and after he got too close to the pattern he was instructed to immediately turn left to heading 360 but he didn't. He never uttered the magic word...'unable'. Unknow if he was a relatively low-hour...

    I strongly suggest that before you take an FAA physical you make an appointment with the same FAA AME for a consultation physical. Think of that as a dry run or a 'practice physical '. At the end you'll know if you can pass the actual physical. Be sure to provide a complete list of your...

    Round Two

    "I am planning on getting my Medical scheduled first of the year to make sure I can get that before I go spending any real money." Good idea. Better idea...schedule a consultation with the AME. Think of it as a dry run or practice exam. You'll know for sure if you can pass the real thing...

    Seems you can. The FAA just cares about drugs and alcohol. Again, seems lopsided.
