Reasonable... I work in healthcare, and just about every employer I've had does pay periods that start Sunday, end Saturday. Payroll cutoff is 10am on monday. Prealert for direct deposit typically hits around midnight to 1 am on Wednesday morning with one major employer and same time on Thursday...

From a practical standpoint, the "system" is designed around IFR flight. Nothing wrong with ground school integrating the instrument knowledge portion in with the private knowledge portion. Particularly when it comes to navigation, communications, radio communications and airspace.. etc.. The...

Why it happens is a matter of physics, and some folks threw some pretty detailed explanations out. The VOR's are broadcasting a signal out horizontally away from the transmitter site. Just like the airport's lighted beacon emits visible light away from the rotating beacon site. When you are...

Most of that crap goes out the window if you aren't a commercial operation. You dont need a DOT number or signage if you aren't commercial. You dont need a logbook. You dont need a drug test or a medical cert.. Dont go throwing part 121 rules on a part 91 SubPart "G" op.

This might be a state by state issue. If you are not engaged in commerce and commercial driving, you do not typically need a CDL, which is standardized by the Federal DOT. You MAY however, be required to have a larger class of license than you would for just a car or pickup truck, based on...

If its just me, or other pilots, I'd do it in one hop. If you need to break it up, Lubbock or Amarillo is a good halfway point at a decent airport (with decent facilities). When flying from Houston to Sarasota or Jacksonville, our stopover point was Destin for lunch... and leg stretch.

Which only matters from a standpoint of pedantic nitpicking, or you are actively in the service and use the wrong term with a pedantically nitpicking superior or colleague. We could just as easily say "military job title" and be done with it. Would that be acceptable?

My father was former military aircraft mechanic in the Airforce.. worked on the F100 airframe among others... and did his time in Vietnam. I do not know the specifics of his training, but at one point he was able to sit down and get his A&P based on his prior experience and a test. This was in...

I'm looking at doing that very such thing... All I need is a 2500 ft long strip of land (or shorter but clear of any obstructions) and an RV.. If the tract is long enough, its a no-brainer.. Looking at a 22 acre tract now thats coming on the market in the next few months. Its about 2200 long...

In typical form, I decided to go googling tailhook (I was a teen when the scandal broke....but hadn't looked at anything about it lately...).. and the Tailhook Association had this awesome tribute to one of their own, who perished just before the scandal. Its worthy of a read if you've never...

Before, unless you were an expert at reading fine print and being medically savvy, chances are what you were buying didn't cover what you thought it did, and you didn't discover that until you needed it.

Military or joint use runways can have barrier cables that can be deployed to prevent overruns. They can be manually or remotely deployed. Air Force fighters do have hooks that can be deployed to engage the cables. They are marked with a series of round painted dots crossing the runway, and when...

On the actual transcript they read back their position and hold rwy 4 instruction. Keep in mind, the movie sought to recreate what DID happen, with artistic license... Not necessarily what SHOULD have happened My Glock is pretty quiet when I pull the hammer back. You should get your Glock...

Was the field former military? Not grasping why a civilian field has two closely spaced parralels like that, or what they were thinking... Did there used to be crosswind runways in the past?

The parts I skimmed over made it seem he was pulling pretty consistent alpha until he released the stick to pull the handles. Perhaps I missed it. The media reports (Navy times) called into question the possibility of fatigue, and it could be possible that he was having a bad day and was behind...

I'm sure he doesn't know everything either. But I will tell you this.... at present there are 177 US based AME's who currently participate in the HIMS program... out of roughly 4000 AME's in the USA. HIMS is the program that was developed to provide a mechanism for professional pilots with...

The number I'd heard was more like 30-40.. but the implications are the same. Its a reinforced behavior. You get away with it.. then again.. then again... then a little more drunk... and again... etc.. then next thing you know your first DWI bust is up in the .15-.20 range...

Keep the book. Those hours never expire. It may come in handy some day when you are ready for another higher rating...

One of the reports of the investigation into the mishap this summer involving the 6 plane, opposing solo pilot Capt Kuss was released today. The brief version: He was on his third flight of the day He entered the Split S lower than normal, faster than normal, and he didn't disengage...
