    New Commercial ACS... complex plane not required?

    I’m pretty excited about this too. I’ve been seriously considering getting my CFI, and being able to do it in a cheap(er) DA20 will be fantastic.

    New Commercial ACS... complex plane not required?

    No, there have been published proposed changes along these lines since at least late last year. The earlier versions called for swapping a TAA (tech advanced aircraft) for complex.

    I have a large re-route for you...

    From what I’ve been able to read, the 80 knot tiller/yoke swap is the procedure specified in the airplane flight manual. That’s pretty standardized.

    I have a large re-route for you...

    Regardless, it’s what these guys do, as you can see from their videos.

    I have a large re-route for you...

    On takeoff, the captain is steering with the tiller (left hand) up to 80 knots or so. So the FO holds the yoke until the captain can release the tiller. Just the opposite for landing, with the captain switching to the tiller as they slow.

    Roadblocks in purchasing a plane. What can I do?

    All I saw was people pointing out the facts: you can't hide income by committing tax fraud and then expect to use that same income to qualify for a loan. That street doesn't go both ways.

    I’ve been enjoying their channel a lot recently. Real professionals.

    172 Coast to Coast Ferry

    I would do it, I’m a few hours from Boston. Day rate and an economy comfort ticket home. And I’ve done that route before in a slow single-engine.

    AOPA ratting me out

    Most websites ask for your birthdate when you register as part of COPPA compliance (more accurately, to show that their users are all 13+ and not applicable to COPPA). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act

    Pirep: McDonald's Filet o Fish Sandwich (or, salad, rather)

    Sure. Little known fact is that the later Apollo missions were able to save enough weight to carry the rover because of the cheesy moon. Once Armstrong confirmed it was edible, they cut the food supplies and just sent 2 spoons. Well, sporks.

    11,800 Foot Runway = "Tiny Airport"?

    From a commercial flight perspective, it is tiny. There's only 6 gates. Curb to security to gate takes about 10 minutes even when it's 'busy'. Having a huge runway left over from the old Air Force days is irrelevant.

    skybeacon

    Per the dimensions in the install guide it’s only 4.8” tall including the light portion. So the antenna blade is in the 3.5-4” range.

    life insurance for pilots - worth it?

    I’m in my late 20s and was able to get a 20-year $500k term policy through AOPA for $90/quarter a few years ago.

    Who has had their Plane Damaged by Outside Sources?

    Had three different FBOs exceed the tow limits on the nose gear and crack it. A few grand to fix, 2 of 3 paid for it. After 3 we spent the $1000 for the STC to disconnect the linkage and remove the limit by pulling a pin.
