Maybe he's dyslexic...

The FAA is going to consider that breathalyzer refusal the same as blowing >0.15. I'm almost certain this will require a HIMS AME and a whole bunch of hoops to jump through. Good luck.

I witnessed the same thing once. Turned out to be a motorcycle accident.

It's going to be even weirder landing a 15,000+ lb Pilatus PC-24 at 90 knots.

How long and how often would the recurrent be? Let's assume single-pilot type rating.

I got my license just a few months before I started dating my now wife and she wouldn't get into a plane with me until almost a year of dating. It didn't help that her father is an airline captain and convinced her how dangerous those little planes are. The first time I took her up was after I...

What is going on with ct this year? It's just one after another.

It does, but all turbojets require a type rating regardless of gross weight as oppose to propeller aircraft that generally only require one if max gross is above 12,500. An SF50 has a max gross of 6000 lbs, but it requires a type rating because it is turbojet powered. A KA250 can weight twice as...

I have the impression that until the SF50 came along, every jet out there required more skill to fly than a TBM or Meridian. The SF50 is a game changer in this regard. Maybe my impression is wrong.

There is no plane out there that requires you to hold an ATP rating in order to fly it and any plane out there can be legally flown with just a Private Pilot cert and a type rating if applicable. You only legally need an ATP rating to fly for an air carrier operation. That said, type rating...

Checkrides are stressful but there's a problem if a pilot freezes up or lets their nervousness interfere with their ability to fly proficiently. If that's how they react to stress then how are they going to react to the stress of an emergency or any other situation that puts them out of their...

It's privately owned. Apparently it's the oldest privately owned airport in the country. It was owned by a husband and wife but the husband died a couple years ago. The wife was not interested in continuing to own and run the airport and decided to sell it. Apparently she tried very hard to sell...

Mine didn't but I had a note from my ophthalmologist that my corrected vision was prefect despite having a retina disorder.

What's a runaway prop?

I work about 5 minutes from 9B1 and I pass by it every day, but I've never actually flown out of there. Two of the places I've rented from didn't allow it and 3rd did but I wasn't comfortable with a runway that short. It's closing forever at the end of this month. Here's what it looks like when...

We may know the reporting requirements but the OP asked what happens and I don't think every PP knows the specifics of what the FAA does when a pilot reports their DUI.

2200' grass at 1B9.

Someone with true ADD/ADHD has no business piloting a plane. That said, there are lots of people that were prescribed adderall/ritalin when they were kids because they were bored in school and acting out and their teachers/parents just wanted to drug them up so they were easier to deal with. Now...

If you really don't like the pilot you could key up and say "Cessna 1234 is 7500".

Write "FUEL PUMP!" on a sticky note and place it on a prominent part of the panel.
