I just asked a simple question, whats the difference. Sounds very similiar. I got a bunch of hate and negative aspersions about my experience. Bowing out here.

3800 hours, 32 years flying

Thanks, honestly the terms sound the same but I understand the difference as explained, well done!

I am just confused by the terms “VFR on the top” and “VFR over the top”. They sound identical. If I understand the conversation correctly, one is VFR and one is IFR, yeah? Here is an idea: call the VFR one “VFR on/over the top” and the IFR one “IFR on/over the top”. Much less confusing.

Thanks I think I get it. If I understand it correctly, if you can get down without going through clouds you are vfr? That is pretty much the rule I always follow, the distinction without a difference threw me.

I’ll bite! What’s the difference? (Beyond semantics)

Look, I am sorry I posted that, I really don’t want anybody to feel bad about themselves, life is hard enough as is. But. To answer your question. I can understand about someone being enraged about the FAA making up evidence (i am). I can respect somebody defending it. What i CANNOT understand...

Forgive me. That sounds like it is spoken by someone who has lost all agency in their life.

why .15? Heck, if he didn’t blow and they don’t have any evidence, why not just charge him with assassinating JFK, causing Global Warming, and bringing back New Coke?

Nope—missed that fellow blew .15, that is admittedly high!

I am sorry but this is sheer and absolute and utter nonsense and you should be ashamed of yourself for writing it. I got a DUI, got a fine, reported it to the FAA, got a letter from them saying basically don’t do it again, end of story. It’s not the end of tbe world. Insurance rates didn’t go up...

Humble bragging. Humble bragging.

I’ll bet its a high correlation. I started getting yearly checkups when I switched to Basic Med. you can’t just show up at your doc’s every 4 years.

Did my annual checkup and my doctor signed off on my FAA Basic Med eval. He did it 4 years ago too, but I was wary as I have read in this forum that others have had problems with their docs signing off, liability, whatever. When he handed me the sheet I thanked him and said, “You know, I’m...

An LLC could be used to protect some of your assets, but then insurance will too. If you do not have a residence in the state where you have the LLC, you will have to hire a registered agent--basically, someone to receive the papers if your LLC gets sued.

Hi. I quit a corporate job at a satellite company and worked as a sole proprietor for 3 1/2 years. I wrote code and installed monitoring systems. Pros: I made more money than God. Like, twice as much working as a corporate drone, and that's before all the tax breaks. There were times I was...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/01/02/japan-airlines-plane-fire-haneda-tokyo/ All passengers and crew of the airliner exited but 5 crew of the Coast Guard plane are unaccounted for. The planes are engulfed in flames, the pictures are gripping.

It might be apocryphal but I recall a question, I think asked of aspiring Naval aviators. “Which you rather have happen, throw up on a crowded bus or slam your hand in the door?” I know which one I would pick.
