    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    This isn't just a form you drop off with your PCP and ask them to sign it. This is something you bring to your exam and have them fill it out as they're doing it. There are a few things on there that aren't even done during a normal physical such as color vision testing. I called my PCP office...

    Basicmed certificate wants doctor's information

    It's too bad your doctor's office doesn't want to cooperate. From what I've read it's hit or miss with doctors and BasicMed. My PCP had no problem filling out the form during my annual physical (which was free) and I got to ditch my annual SI renewal for my eye condition that required a bunch of...

    New Pilatus PC-24

    This plane does have some amazing technology. The right engine has a mode that can be used on the ground where valves between the turbine stages open so the N1 turbine stage is bypassed and the N2 fan can be spun at a much lower RPM than normal ground idle. This gives plenty of electrical power...

    New Pilatus PC-24

    That's my dream plane. Biggest single-pilot jet around. Can operate out of a 2800 foot strip.

    Motorcycle question

    It takes a lot less time to shake off the rust on a motorcycle versus an airplane. I went over a year without riding and I felt comfortable again after about 5 minutes.

    Motorcycle question

    Oh ok. Not here though. When my wife moved from CT she only had to take a vision test.

    Motorcycle question

    What written test? The only written tests I've ever taken were for my learner's permit for cars when I was 16 and motorcycles when I was 21. Do some states require a written test to renew your license? Might not be a terrible idea actually.

    Motorcycle question

    In Massachusetts it's more expensive to renew with the endorsement but it's only $15 extra every 5 years and I like to keep it just in case. My wife would not be happy if I got a motorcycle and I was single the last time I rode, but I still want to keep it. I've never been asked if I wanted it...

    Motorcycle question

    I got mine 10 years ago and haven't used it in maybe 6. I don't know if I could get rid of it if I wanted to. It does increase the cost of renewing my license every 5 years ($65 vs $50).

    Hey Where's Ravioli?

    I'm very lucky to get paid overtime even though I'm salaried. They can expect me to work extra for free, but fortunately the program I'm on pays overtime as long as I work 8 hours extra in a week (so 47 hours in a week gets me no overtime but 48 hours gets me 8 hours overtime). It's just...

    How does a jet engine spool up when starting in real life compared to Microsoft Flight Simulator?

    Does that cause an exceedance and require the plane go in for maintenance?

    Last US Carrier 747 Flight

    My first ever airplane ride was on a 747. I was 14 and on a British Airways flight from JFK to Heathrow. I still remember being in awe of the size of the thing when I got to my gate and saw it through the window.
