Places to get you killed? Absolutely! :D

Around here at least (D.C. metro) part of the issue seems to be there just aren't enough CFIs. I'm getting back into the air after a 5 year hiatus and I've had to take time off of work since Sat/Sun are booked up nearly solid for weeks. During the week has even been difficult. At least once...

At least MMU has another FBO on the field besides Signature.

I'll put this on my reading list for tonight. Thanks for the link!

I know Canadian 1-800 numbers work but there is something different in how it gets charged; Our office WebEx has a separate 800 numbers for Canada and the US. For a few months, there were a number of people who had them reversed. Calls went through but apparently WebEx charged us more for...

So you are saying that your phone carrier doesn't support Wifi calling and Canadian flight service won't pick up a Skype to landline call? When I've visited my home office in Kanata I've had no problem calling local numbers via T-mobile wifi calling or Skype. I've had to resort to Skype while...

If we pilots can do the correct pre-flight planning calcs, I'm sure we can successfully navigate a pricing spreadsheet :D

I wasn't referring to iPad flight planning. Many people travel with whatever device they use to conduct their day to day business, be it a tablet, MS surface device, or a laptop. And as long as I have wifi, I can use that to make calls via my phone either directly via Wifi calling or via...

The other concern is that if privatization is written with a profit motive for ATC, or even a major push to keep costs down, the services provided for "small" GA could be cut/eliminated. VFR flight following as a big example. Just taking guesses of course since no details of even an initial...

Who the heck wants a landline phone or a desktop to flight plan these days? I'd be happy with:bathroom, wifi, and if you want to stretch conditioned air and some cold water. I'm sure you are speaking of a different class of GA than I am a participant which is likely part of the 'communication'...

I'm on meds at the moment since my BP was high enough that meds and any side effects were better for me long term than the elevated BP. Trying to work on diet and exercise so I can wean myself off the meds.

Oh, be honest. If you publish your fees it allows less wiggle room to quote what ever you want and then negotiate on the phone or in person.

I did both flights barely looking at the 430w in the plane or the devices I had running ForeFlight. This is surprising since I trained in a DA20 that had a 430 and the club I was a member of in NJ had a 172 with a 430w. I always found myself staring at those. I'd say a thumbs up to the...

Hey @SixPapaCharlie: I know Van Bortel has a rep for being overpriced, but this Tiger they just posted looks nice and I think they are in your area. It needs a modern GPS, but otherwise it checks most boxes: $65.5k Low time airframe & engine Updated interior Decent AP (STEC-30) ADSB done...

Was that the one at Frederick at the AOPA building? If so, I was there too.

And now after a second long session I'm signed off on my flight review and the rental aircraft checkout. Woohoo!

Not having started on my IFR rating, can you be more specific?

With the recent discussions of 3rd Class vs BasicMed as it relates to color vision, I have a practical question regarding the limits on the 3rd class for those that fail the color vision portion of the 3rd class (like me): The no night flight is pretty clear. Due to my 3rd class medical...

But lets say Bob the Pilot is completely color blind. Everything is shades of gray to good ol' Bob. Bob could not pass any color test. Under FAA 3rd class, Bob passes and simply can't fly at night or by light signal. Since the stupid form from the FAA tells Dr. Jane she needs to test Bob's...

I warned my wife in the days I had to commute by train that one day she was going to get a call from me in jail after that one last gum chewer (or nail clipper) finally put me over the edge. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND STOP CLIPPING YOUR NAILS SITTING NEXT TO ME! Edit: for my flavor of misophonia, I...
