Respectfully, at Congress.gov, it shows at "resolving differences," but that page may be not updated real time. https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/636?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22H.r.636%22%5D%7D&resultIndex=1

Crap... I've been using a toilet all these years. But, if we're ever in the same room, I'm holding on to my cup...

Have you seen what they (AOPA/EAA) proposed? 4 Seats, 180hp, single engine, fixed gear Day VFR only Up to 1 passenger Pilots have to take a free medical course every 2 years Altitude to FL100/2000 AGL Here's what we got: Up to 6 seats, up to 6,000 lbs, no limitations on horsepower, # of...

They claim that is their job... :O

:yeahthat: :yeahthat:Exactly... I use those on my server (standard USB hard drives) and the rest of the computers on the network back up to the server. A cheapy hard drive (I'd get one of those USB 1TB ones that don't need a power supply for a MacBook) works perfectly!

Because the analog one will do. (ok, even I'm snickering on that one...)

I think that questions of rote memorization are idiotic for things that are not, or never will be critical. Knowing where to report drunk driving is a "I have to look this up when I sober up and get out of jail" type question, not a "Oh crap, I need to know this because I'm in IMC, and I need...

Here is the act, as passed... at reconciliation, it may change, but... SEC. 2602. Medical certification of certain small aircraft pilots. (a) In general.—Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall issue or...

Here is a better place to see the status of the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/636 They're at the "Resolving Differences" phase now.

I can, but as big as PBOR2 is to us, it's a sideline issue on the FAA re-authorization. The rest of the non-pilot population is completely unaware of this aspect of the bill. S.571 had as much appeal and newsworthiness as H.R.3601 — 114th Congress (2015-2016) To designate the facility of the...

The problem with "mandatory reporters" is the sneakiness of the situation. You ask a question to someone of authority, and 3 months later, you get a knock on the door. For that reason, I'd never date a teacher, cop, nurse, or doctor if I had kids and were single. The worst thing is it's the...

With due respect to AME and their training as doctors specializing in flight medicine, how many would mourn the loss of H&R Block if the IRS went away? (Before we go there, I'm not saying that AME are low paid tax preparers, I'm saying we have AME to ensure that regulations are enforced.)

I saw a chart that the FAA had, and 3rd class is about 1/5 to 1/6 of the certificates issued. 1st class was by far, the largest, and 2nd class was 3rd on the list (about 10%) issued. Mind you, this is from memory. Oh yeah, it passed the House...

:) Already there. This is my "get out of debt" present.

He has both. The TW training is included in the package, so I get both for the same price. His quote, "Once you're in the air, they all fly the same, but on the ground, you want to be sure you know how to use the rudder." I don't have a burning desire to learn conventional landing gear...

I spoke with one today and he convinced me to do tail draggers first with this simple sentence: "If you can do conventional landing gear, tricycle gear will be easy. The other way around isn't so." He's 70, and has been a CFI since 1971. I'll do a ride with him and see how his training...

(a differing opinion here...) I just completed ground school a month ago and passed the test... because the price was right (my company paid for it, so it was $0 out of pocket) Now I'm "interviewing" flight instructors, so we make sure that we're a good fit. I'll be up in Arlington, WA tomorrow...

For me, about 6 months, so far, but I'm class 3, and I'm in the SI category.

Technically, they are 'VC-25' (2 of them) and become AF1 when the President steps on them. As we saw on 9/11, having that kind of protection and resources is important during times of crisis, and it is good that the President has them at their disposal. However, I'm kind of 'old school', and...

I'd go to FAA.gov and look there. I'd take what is posted here as advice and opinion, not law. Having said that, why the rush on getting your 1st class medical? Is it for school? The only reason I ask is I thought that it took time to get it out of your system, and the more you spend between...
