It’s SYR that has the radials unusable. It’s surprising to me that they would publish an approach that relies on unusable radials. It basically turns into a crappy GPS approach.

They added a DME requirement to allow that step down fix.

The SYR VOR is listed in the A/FD as unusable between 010 and 025, so you can’t come east to intercept the ART 223 at 10 miles. I’m guessing there’s a 10 mile restriction for an IAP, so closest place you can get within 10 miles of ART on the SYR 010 radial is at ART 233. Took me a while to find...

Assuming the student is an Instrument student and has a Private certificate already, it is absolutely legal as long as you remain VFR. Even if the student isn’t rated, you could do it as long as you were the agreed upon PIC. When I was an instrument student I grabbed a friend of mine and...

The only down side I’ve found with Global Entry is that I’m almost always traveling with someone that doesn’t have it, either extended family or my kids. The one time I used it was because we knew the parking situation was going to be a nightmare so it made more sense for me to ditch the wife...

Absolutely, but I’d be careful. That timeline ended up being fairly unpleasant.

The wine orchard timeline was erased at the end of that episode. But it’s probable there are multiple possible timelines that end up with him owning a vineyard. I also say screw CBS All Access. I’m sure it will eventually end up on Amazon, even if I have to pay for a season.

My workplace has a fitness center. I try to do 20 minutes a day of either a group class or free weights. Normally my meeting schedule knocks that back to 3 or 4 days a week.

Would they trade two engines for one turbocharged engine? If so, the Piper Malibu family might fit the bill.

I’m dealing with a bunch of accessible web malarkey at work as well. Except instead of being sued, some idiot salesman agreed to it in a contract with a government entity without first checking to see if our site was compliant or how much work it would be to bring it into compliance. It’s a lot.

I appreciated the Gold Seal (non) CFI shirt. It makes the instruction in the video seem legit. Like, something I would pay money for.

One guy on Beechtalk got 185 out of his LOP by pouring in a ton of blood, sweat, and money. But for most other examples you’re probably right.

More than an NA version, that’s true. But if your requirement is 170+ with 6 seats and room for bags, your options are really: a TN Saratoga, an A36 with the baggage extension, probably tips and not too heavy, or you get in to B55 or 310 territory. At that point, the Saratoga might be the most...

I’ve heard reports that the TN Saratoga will hit 180 up high. That would be acceptable.

Once you’ve tasted 170 in a Bonanza it’s hard to go back to 135.

I have access to a few different Bonanzas, a couple 35s and a 36. I’m also a family of 5 with three small children. With 4 of us going, I’ll take the 35 Bonanza all day every day. The first time I put 5 people in the 36 I was shocked at how little room was left over for stuff. If I’m ever in the...

The first time I let a kid sit in the front, I think he was 3 at the time. I had a responsible adult sit in the seat behind him. The adults job was to subdue the kid if he got out of hand in the front seat. Luckily I’ve never once had a problem with him other than needing to remind him that...

I’ve flown with mine since they were younger than 2. Wayne covered it well.

I would interpret “jump back to base” as an instruction to not fly the full length of the upwind, but instead turn crosswind immediately even if you hadn’t yet reached the runway, so as to get back to the base leg as quickly as possible. I would only accept that instruction if I were sure there...

That’s not flying. That’s falling with style.
