In another post I noted that one study estimates that about 1.2% of automobile accidents are caused by medical incapacitation of the driver; e.g. stroke or seizure or similar. Assuming that going from a third class medical to the same standards as automobile drivers increases the accident rate...

I'm a member of that "some" group. I spent most of my career as an independent software developer, so when my wife and I had established our credentials and a network of software colleagues while working in the SF Bay area, we moved to rural Oregon and have been able to maintain a better than...

Latest word is that the House isn't going to take up any version of the Senate's Transportation bill before they depart on Thursday: http://news.yahoo.com/u-house-wont-senate-transportation-bill-mccarthy-183007392--sector.html This would seem to make the Manchin-Boozman amendment rather moot...

Maybe they sincerely believe their claims? We all must use heuristically derived rules to help us make our decisions in life - and most of the thinking we apply really isn't as logical as we'd like to think. Sometimes the status quo is favored over the unknown if we don't see personal benefit...

Don't know about crying or any other display of emotion, but some possibilities that I think might work with regard to expressing joy with music are these (but this depends so much on personal taste):

I went back and looked over section 3 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/571/text) and it definitely looks like ALPA members would have gotten benefit from it. But then I found that Aerospace Medical Association back in April noted ALPA's objection even to PBOR2...

"This legislation has the potential to allow medically unfit pilots unfettered access to the national airspace at altitudes up to 18,000 feet, which also includes commercial airline traffic carrying passengers and cargo." What do you suppose motivates somebody to write something like that...

No credible data has been presented that indicates that there is any measurable increase in risk with the elimination of the Class 3 medical. And credible data is theoretically available by examining how often medical incapacitation played a role in the accident and incident history of glider...

ALPA makes clear what they think of the riff-raff that they have to share their airspace with: http://download.aopa.org/advocacy/ALPA_letter.pdf What do they think of glider, sport, balloon, and ultralight pilots, I wonder, who've been flying in their airspace all these years? How many...

This is a statute so I would assume the applicable Federal laws it refers to are other statutes, not necessarily agency regulations, which while having the force of laws are not themselves Federal laws. Or maybe I'm wrong about how such phrases are interpreted. If I recall correctly (too busy...

I didn't notice the "and" at the end of (a)(7)( B ). So paraphrased and removing the flight conditions, it seems to say: "A person may act as PIC without a medical certificate only if the person has a driver's license and has held a medical certificate at some point and, except for sport...

That's terribly written (and the formatting doesn't help.) Are the numbered paragraphs (1) to (8) under section (a) joined by implicit "ands" or "ors"? If "ands" then one would appear to have to satisfy (a)(1) through (a)(3)! If they intended (a)(1) to (a)(3) to be "ors" (which seems likely) and...

I suspect you are looking at areas where the ceiling of Class G is 14,500 (not CCAs, which is a retired concept/term.) It would be Class E above that to 18,000, with Class A to 60,000, and Class E above that to where ever "outer space" begins as far as the U.S. is concerned. No permission is...

Looks as if dedicated Flight Watch frequencies are going silent as of October 1, 2015: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/systemops/fs/changes/ Looks like those services will be moved to FSS frequencies.

Here's the entry for that airstrip on http://www.shortfield.com/ http://www.shortfield.com/airstrip?sno=sf_hiddensplendor Going to the map shows a trail to it, so at least for that airstrip there may be a way to truck it out.

I didn't know they actually had public access tie-down spots at San Jose (SJC): http://www.flysanjose.com/fl/business.php?page=general_avi/wait&subtitle=General+Aviation+|+Hanger/Tie-Down+Wait+List Wonder what the waiting list is like for the tiedown spots?

One of these two shuttle firms may be open to transporting you from Garberville to and from that camp: http://www.lostcoasttrail.com/ http://lostcoastadventures.com/ Expect to pay a lot, though. I used one of them (they seemed to be roughly equivalent in fares) to travel between Garberville...

About 1/3rd of their expenses have been paid for by user fees for the past 14 years: https://www.tsa.gov/stakeholders/historical-fee-collection-data https://www.tsa.gov/stakeholders/september-11-security-fee-passenger-fee https://www.tsa.gov/stakeholders/transportation-security-fees

The NBAA does not represent my interests and may actually be opposed to them. That page gives absolutely no background info of course - just a mindless "No!" to three different things without giving good reasons why: Oppose Privatized ATC and User Fees Stop Proposed Per-Flight User Fees For...
