Pretending you're talking to a slow VFR pilot, what's the difference? Thanks!

You could also ask SoCal for the Coastal Route which requires you reach 5500 to enter the route north of the bravo, fly to LAX VOR on R-323 and away from LAX VOR on R-123. You'd have more altitude that way by the time you hit the Long Beach area and started to cross the channel.

I haven't specifically flown the mini route south to AVX, but I have flown it southbound a couple of times. In my very limited experience, LAX will terminate radar services and tell you to contact Hawthorne when you get south of the bravo, and Hawthorne will gladly set you up for continued...

Ohhh. My bad. Beer is owed.

Curious question from a VFR-only pilot trying to learn something. If you request an IFR clearance to Catalina (KAVX), will ATC only clear you to fly there on one of the airways that leads to SXC VOR, even if you have GPS?

This one? http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/ipad-yoke-flex-mount.html

This assemblage of RAM mount pieces works good for holding an iPad Air on the yoke in a rental 172:

FYI, the new "iPad Pro 2" will be launched in various sizes in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm not quite sure what that means as to real availability to buy, but if you decide to go bigger than a mini, you may want to wait.

and Really? That’s what you’ve learned from this?

That Advisory Circular is consistent with the AIM which says "(1,000 AGL is recommended pattern altitude unless established otherwise.)" See Figs. 4-3-2 and 4-3-3. I think the Chart Supplement is where it may be officially "established otherwise" and then is mandatory.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. It would cost thousands of dollars to simply go look, not millions, and the fact that no one has been inspired to do that, strongly suggests the Google Earth photo is not very persuasive

Nope. 2016. Even the report about the accident was published in 2016.

Seems to be a bad link. Did you write the newsletter?

Your newsletter says in line 2 that this accident occurred on 11/28/16. I'm confused how this accident has anything to do with 2017 or, as your newsletter says in line 1, is "the 14th fatal accident in 2017."

In after the lock! :D

It looks like the question, related test supplement and correct answer have changed. I have an old bank of questions from 2007. Here's the 2007 version of this question and related chart from the old test supplement. This old chart shows Addison's delta as [-30] which means it stops just...

Shut up and make me a sandwich, beeaaatch?? o_O

Thanks. As related to S-LSAs, that post you quote has a pretty succinct description of the current circumstances: "Orignally [In 2004], it was perfectly legal for an appropriately rated pilot to fly an appropriately equipped SLSA in IMC. The original ASTM consensus standards were silent on the...

I'm no expert, but I believe the ASTM standards are effectively "regulatory" because of the FARs. Under FAR 21.190(c), it looks like meeting the provisions of an identified "consensus standard" is a condition of getting a "special" airworthiness certificate. No real knowledge here though. For...

If the current ASTM standard says no IFR for SLSA, regardless of what the FAA says, wouldn't that preclude the SLSA maker from saying it's OK? I could be wrong, but ... It's my understanding that the ASTM standard was changed around 2010, and therefore, only a very limited number of SLSAs made...
