    I'm 20 years old. Am I the only one?

    You are in the age group with the highest number of student pilots. See table 12 of this document: https://www.faa.gov/data_research/aviation_data_statistics/civil_airmen_statistics/media/2014-civil-airmen-stats.xlsx

    Zenith CH-701. What engine to use?

    Specifics are always important. I've often seen this sentiment, but when I went to read the information that was claimed to back it up, there wasn't much there that backed up their specific claims, such that they existed. With respect to personality clashes: I don't really give a tick. Is the...

    Operation fly

    And taken back over by Nick. I've got other things going on, but in about 6 to 8 weeks I hope to claim some more airports in Oregon. My problem is a declining number of nearby unclaimed airports. Autumn seems to be a good time to fly to airports in eastern Oregon anyway.

    SkyGuard portable ADS-B out

    Yes, those would be mostly toast. As best I can determine that is my understanding. A good portion of assertions allegedly coming from the FAA regarding what is allowed for ADS-B transmitters does not appear to be supported by either their regulations or those in 47 CFR Part 87 (FCC...

    SkyGuard portable ADS-B out

    Not that extreme because those units also contain receivers that would still work and also because the transmissions, if enabled, would be visible to ADS-B receivers in nearby aircraft whose receivers do not filter such transmissions. Source Integrity Level (SIL) of 1, probably, because the...

    SkyGuard portable ADS-B out

    Again, the FAA has no authority over the radio spectrum or portable electronic devices along the lines they imply. Look closely at the reasons the author of that article claims they can prohibit the portable devices and consider that the reasons could be applied to a lot of other things pilots...

    Do you fly first class?

    We'll be flying British Airways via Heathrow. 9:15 to London, then another 1:20 scheduled to Scotland. This will be our second trip to the UK. We survived the first time in the cattle section there and back, so I think we should survive again. I think.

    Do you fly first class?

    Recently booked a round trip flight for two from Seattle to Edinburgh, Scotland. The difference between first class and coach was about as much as we spent on a master bathroom remodel. True, we didn't have to decide on tile color (which would have made buying a first class ticket slightly less...

    SkyGuard portable ADS-B out

    I don't understand your anger and constant harping on Don - did you or did you not get your money back? He was the first one to attempt to build a unit that was reasonably affordable and usable immediately to renters. At this point we have two manufacturers selling portable units that...

    SkyGuard portable ADS-B out

    The FAA has not ruled portable units out, just limited their scope of use: http://www.faa.gov/nextgen/programs/adsb/faq/#26 "Installed transponders and GPS units must meet certification standards. Handheld devices and displays that serve only for situational awareness have more flexibility...

    You are flying along and your airspeed indicator fails

    I'm sure it was working because otherwise you'd have been flying in violation of CFR 91.205, and that seems unlikely.

    Serious crash at airshow in UK. Several dead

    Oh good lord, there always seems to be someone on Wikipedia who starts list articles; here's a chronological list of air show accidents and incidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_air_show_accidents_and_incidents
