I was referring to P1D's choices more so than the kids but as to the kids comment? Well I read both the kid's initial comment and the kid's response to P1D as earnestly wanting to know and respectfully asking an experienced pilot why they announced clear before actually being clear when...

I didn't watch the video that closely. I think 5 seconds is what P1D said so I went with that. As to the rest of my post being nonsensical puffery? Tell me what purpose was served by announcing clear before he actually cleared? Do you think had P1D had even a bit of humility in his response that...

Absolutely but then it was his choice to announce and misreport his position, just as it was his choice to respond to the initial question in the condescending manner he did and it was his choice to not follow-up on the question when the kid still respectfully asked him again. The call from the...

As a one off? No probably not but if a person does enough of these on the same drive? Probably. If you confronted said driver about the safety of himself and others on the road and the driver said "oh no, I dont need turn signals, I'm situationally aware" what would be your response? Would you...

@PaulS was instructed by ATC using the anticipated separation rules ATC is allowed to operate under since they have full visibility of the airport environment and the authority to revoke a clearance and make it a go-around. If this were the pilot ahead of him, I'd agree with you that it would be...

True but what-if P1D had a sudden stroke right there and was no longer able to clear the runway? Anticipated separation is permitted at controlled airports because the controller can issue an abort if separation cant be maintained... Who was going to tell that taking off airplane to abort? Even...

I also dont make a single comment in favor of the kids actions. In fact, I've explicitly stated it was an excessive response and hypothesized on what my own response would be. My problem with your theory however, is that you tacitly acknowledge there is a point at which a violation does warrant...

For the same reason that you only need to be "clear of clouds" in Class B airspace. While you still have a duty to see and avoid, ATC has a greater awareness of the overall picture and is able to exercise positive control over all aircraft operating in its sphere of influence. It should also...

I think your order is reversed. Pretty sure the gofund me page predated the complaint to the FAA and as to where it falls, well that arguably depends. The FAA doesn't say anything about you flying on someone else's dime, they just say you cant be receiving compensation for the flying... So if...

According to FAA JO 7110.65 (3-9-5) "takeoff clearance needs not be withheld until prescribed separation exists if there is a reasonable assurance it will exist when the aircraft starts takeoff roll." ATC is allowed to use "anticipated separation" on controlled fields because they also have the...

I'll agree that it was of minimal safety significance but will disagree that it was of zero/no significance. There are lots of what-ifs that could easily play out over 1 second let alone 5 seconds; I mean most mistakes and accidents occur in the span of less than a second. I myself have had more...

Very true. I'm not pressed or necessarily in a rush to find something as I'm not looking for something to build hours so I can run off to an airline, just looking for something that gets me flight time, a different flight experience and even adds a little extra coin in my pocket (I'm planning to...

I was trying to stick only to the "major" GA airports because I feel like they're the ones most likely to have a role available given their size and presence of FBOs. That being said I know some roles (ag, banner, p-line patrol) are more common out of the private airports in the area but we'd be...

Hi all, I'll be moving to Orlando, about 20 minutes from west of Kissimmee-Gateway (KISM) in a month. Looking for opportunities to put my CPL-SEL/SES to good use, part-time. I'm tailwheel (42.3hrs), hi-perf (22.8hrs), and complex (49.3hrs) endorsed and have my CFI/CFII. Currently around 340...

Didn't mean to spark such a fight but there are 2 ways I view this: 1) Driver's License Compact - I can drive my car or motorcycle on my PA Driver's license in any of the 50 states of the US (and some international locations too). While driving in a state other than my own, that state's laws do...

I'd absolutely still walk across the field but that doesn't mean I cant be respectful/courteous in doing so, walking behind the action, waiting for a break between plays, etc. I'm not going to loiter on the field or let my dog take a dump in the middle of their playing field but I'm not going to...

This is exactly what I was thinking. Mountain wave or not, all that air going up is displacing the air that's already there and forcing it back down. If there are gliders out and about and finding their way up to where you are, and higher, know you're likely to encounter some heavy up and down...

To your point, that wasn't what I was trying to state. The FAR's "apply" to the military in the same way as the aviation rules of any country apply to both civilian and military pilots flying in that country. The decision to issue a violation on those rules however is left to the governing body...

The article refers to the number of airways left, not the number of beacons. So there are 3 airways left with associated beacons. Not sure how many beacons that actually leaves; I assume at least 6 beacons. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my post.

A valid point, fair was used as a ambiguous qualifier for exactly this reason though. I am aware that the FAA has publish quite a lot of GPS approaches (apparently 6600 by your count) but to really characterize their progress you'd need to know how many overlays were created in total and how...
