Delta in maintenance costs?

Someone mentioned Operation Raincheck which is a great program run by the FAA that can set up tours of ATC facilities. Check it out if you haven't already.

Grrr Thank you for sharing! Sometimes it seems the aeromed folks aren't too keen on this new fangled penicillin! I've been through similar but no where near as dramatic experience. First, after being diagnosed with carcinoid tumors, a rare form of cancer. Fortunately my oncologist had dealt...

Ryan the statement about using the CFI FIRC as a substitute after 3 years is that that FIRC would have expired within 2 years. Thus trying to use it as a substitute for the ground portion of a flight review would seem to me to be a none starter. But that's my opinion.

How many of us have wondered about some of the FAA's rulings etc? Years back there was a bizjet crash at a mountain airport here in CO caused by the aircrew not deicing. It was a charter flight where one company supplied the airplane and a separate company supplied the crew. What did the FAA...

RyanShort1 Remember CFI's have to be renewed every two years.

Jordan93 :) RussR most of my instruction has been working with folks coming back to the cockpit after long periods of no activity or transitioning from military or airline careers. Or teaching at 121 carriers. I said unlimited which is not accurate, should have been the verbiage you cited...

We are in violent agreement about EdFred being able to substitute his FIRC for the ground portion of a flight review. That is directly from the FAR. But that is for a review he is receiving in order to exercise his PIC privileges. 8900.1 is not a FAR, it is a work aid and guide for how FAA...

Navy and USAF friends said they had to go on oxygen anytime at or above 10,000 feet but they were all attack and fighter folk.

RyanShort1 I agree with your ISS scenario, the same would be true if you conducted the ground portion on a ship or submerged in a submarine. The various courses (King etc.) are good preparation for a flight review but not a replacement for the ground portion. Think of it this way. Your...

kiger414 Thank you for your service!! Best wishes for continued success in life and aviation! Be legal, smart, and safe

Last comment, the applicable FAR only states two exceptions. Rationalize, justify, or make whatever excuses you want but the bottom line is that you do not comply with either. Earlier today I called the cops for a motor scooter parked such that it blocked off a designated and properly marked...

Unfortunately this is one FAR that needs improving by adding a minimum threshold for O2 saturation or something medically appropriate. Look at FAR 91.17. Most of us know the part reading no flying within 8 hours of drinking alcohol. How many of us are aware of the later verbiage adding a BAC...

Hi Murphey, suggest you ask an A&P to take a look then advise you. One potential problem is if you have cracks in the wingtips they may need to be stop drilled before you cover them with tape. Hope life is treating you with kindness and respect! Be legal, safe and smart!

You have us all wondering, please share what you find out!

Mathematically you can wait until 1/3 is no longer an infinitely repeating decimal.

Now what does the reg say... Sec. 61.56 — Flight review. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (f) of this section, a flight review consists of a minimum of 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training. The review must include: (b) Glider pilots may substitute a minimum of...

WeirdJim, Your kits rock!!!!!! I still have an almost ancient one of your 4 place intercoms that occasionally gets used when a student has an airplane without intercom.

MooneyDriver78, congrats for hitting the nail firmly on the head! Why is it so many people choose to ignore the plain truth that being legal doesn't mean you are safe or smart. And, if something bad happens you are just as injured, or worse, dead? Go look at the number of people who have...
