I just go out to Wickenburg, then Alamo Lake for some visual diversity, then West to the River. 6500 would be good, but even 4500 should work. You can't let the MOAs control your flying down here, just too many. Avoid flying along the Military Training Routes, and keep your eyes open. Flying...

'Always a ditch or fence to screw things up... http://www.cbs5az.com/story/35198706/small-plane-crash-lands-in-goodyear-field?autostart=true

I saw that... just about the only mention anywhere. It looks like some things take time, way more than initially anticipated.

Here's the video... 'was a weird lighting day

No, they just want you to acknowledge (on the radio) that you are familiar with the route.... which is directly over the highway, at 500 AGL. Sometimes, Snake Eye might ask you to vary slightly, to accommodate some training activity. The information about the restricted area transition route...

Apples and Oranges. That unfortunate accident had nothing to do with hot areas, restricted areas, or MOA. It was just a case of failing to "see and avoid". It could have been a Mooney and the C150. When you fly through the GilaBend/Ajo corridor, you are under direct control of "Snake Eye"...

Wish I had the day off... but no. Here's an idea: Tomorrow is the last day that the AJO country club restaurant is open, before they close for the summer. Also, tomorrow the Gunnery Range (R-2305 etc) is going to be ever-so-hot. So, how about doing the transition through the hot restricted...

A very well-timed and perfectly positioned shot! I wish I had a camera last Nov, when I looked down and saw 4 jets in a tight formation right below me. Two each F35 and F16. They were flying about 2K AGL and about 1K below me. They were prepping for a NASCAR fly-over. No Notams, no radio...

OK, this is weird and I can already see the trolls and naysayers sharpening their pencils... I've been researching the recently announced Flight Design LSA that has S.Korean heritage, the KLA-100. This aircraft has government support, helping to learn more about the GA market and the process of...

Sorry, Metars were never meant to be an efficient form of communication. They were a result of limited bandwidth on old teletypes. They represent the best of the old school mentality.... dammit, it was hard for us, so it should be hard for you! O wd u prfr it lk ths?

Just when you think you know your limits, something like this comes along to make you rethink it all again... Long-time pilot gets caught up in weather, resulting in a fatal crash. One wing was found almost 5 miles from the crash site. This was last week...

ALL the time... as I'm writing, I sometimes hear the voice of my Mother saying "Tim, there's a clutch between your mind and your mouth... use it". She's long gone, but those are powerful words.

Not in the US. When things got tight, FDUSA put up their own $$ and did whatever was needed to fulfill all orders. There were "some" folks in some countries where it was apparently normal to pay well in advance of delivery. FD-G has strung them out, and now they are first priority as part of...

There are 3 "Flight Designs", all related. The original was FD-Germany, they had a plane. Tom Peghiny partnered with Germany and created FD-USA, which became the best-selling LSA in the USA. The planes were manufactured in the Ukraine, and imported to the US through FD-Germany. FD-Germany...

Hand brake and direct nose wheel steering

Nice looking... looks like much design taken from CT: stick, footlockers, hand brake, and much of the panel. Has Stratos parachute and will be built in the Ukraine.

definitely having some problems... http://system.opendns.com/2017/04/07/2672/ Rich, you familiar with gegeek.com... ??? awesome site and tools.
