    Several web sites discuss this issue; here's one on the AOPA site: http://www.aopa.org/Pilot-Resources/PIC-archive/Aircraft-Ownership/Business-Justification-Flight-Training-Expenses Cases they cite that appear to be relevant to your situation are: Sartor v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue...

    Inline image crashing Safari.

    I've noticed that too - a bug in the Safari browser. Nothing in a web page or a Java script is supposed to cause a browser to crash. My work-around (other than using a different browser) is to manually type the img tags around the url: Of course the faux keyboard on an iPad makes typing those...

    Light Sport Visual Reference

    Per 61.303: A private, commercial, or even airline transport pilot who lets their medical lapse and flies a light sport aircraft under light sport pilot rules may not fly without visual reference to the surface. The exact same people with current medicals may makes such flights. So the rule...

    Light Sport Visual Reference

    Lazy again; here's a Youtube video on the feature. The icons look a little different but I believe the technique is the same in this version of vBulletin.

    Sorry about that - I was being lazy and using the multiquote feature and didn't edit his quote to match your version.

    Light Sport Visual Reference

    May be too late, though the interpretation is in regards to student pilots and the reasoning used doesn't seem to carry over very well when applied to sport pilots who presumably should have about the same training in this regard as private pilots...

    Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 piece found?

    Extending the theory of Denverpilot's friend to account for those turns: Somehow surviving passengers tried to control the flight of the aircraft with whatever remained of the control systems but circumstances worked against them, so those attempts ultimately failed. (There were 20 staff...

    Drone shooting: US home-owner faces charges

    The rule of thumb should be that if you can't knock it out of the sky with a really nice water cannon (which seems to me a reasonably safe antiaircraft weapon that you may be able to legally use most urban areas,) you have no right or business impeding its navigation of the airspace. Some...

    Drone shooting: US home-owner faces charges

    I recall seeing such reports before... Pilots reported drones within 200 ft of a jet near JFK in March, 2013: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/05/drone-in-nycs-jfk-airport_n_2811271.html Drones also reported by pilots landing JFK in November 2014...

    Drone shooting: US home-owner faces charges

    Define "drone". So what else does everyone think should be illegal or regulated that people perceive as being worthy of prior restraint because of its potential for abuse? What about flying kites? Suppose the kites have cameras? Model rockets? Water rockets? RC balsa aircraft? Small balloons...

    Star Trek impulse drive has been developed

    “I noted in [the study’s] conclusion paragraphs that [Tajmar’s] apparatus was producing hundreds of micro-Newtons of thrust when it got very hot and that his measuring instrumentation is not very accurate when the apparatus becomes hot,” Davis told io9. “He also stated that he was still...

    ALPA to GA: Screw you

    First, the assumption you bolded was my attempt to see what numbers would result if a critic of elimination of 3rd class medicals would make that claim. I think it useful to anticipate potential arguments to see where they lead. Second, the idea of taking incapacitation statistics from car...
