They sue the company and its insurer whose defense will be that driving is a normal and reasonable mode of transportation, covered by their HR policy and, thus, their insurance. That case would be settled out of court by the insurer most likely. Flying a GA plane would not be covered by HR...

Pitch or bank angle changes aren't required for control inputs not to be "fake". We all, probably very often, have used control inputs to counteract pitch or bank changes caused by turbulence. The result is little, or less, bank/pitch than 'nature' intended. And what bank there is is in the...

Not buying it. Double checking NOTAMs is indeed moot since he did a flyover - twice! - and checked it with his eyeballs. It was only X'd on one end and there was nothing on the runway. The runway was not closed. Just because he doesn't know the reason why there is an X doesn't mean...

It's just a factor of what risks are baked into the company's insurance rates by the actuaries. Cars and motorcycles are common ground transportation and are probably baked into the rates while piston GA is not. In any case, a motorcycle's hull value is far less than a plane, carries one rider...

It's just so far outside the consideration of most businesses that they don't seek policies that include piston-GA. The rates reflect other common modes of travel and specifically don't factor in the actuarial risk associated with employee-owned-piston-GA travel. They could, but the rates...

"Thank you for calling Lockheed Martin ATC" If it's just given to a government contractor it will be the same **** in a different box. Incremental improvements, incremental cost reductions, nothing more. Honestly LockMart has done a good job with FSS and I don't see any reason they couldn't...

HSI :D

:yes: That's pretty high minimums but I get it. In my case, minimums are situational. If I have a realistic alternate with high enough ceilings then I'd have no problem taking a crack or three at an ILS that is near minimums. So far, unfortunately, the lowest I've been on an ILS was about 600...

I've had to use control inputs something like that in squirrrelly winds. I bet if I'd videoed myself it would have looked similar. When winds are trying to lift a wing, your control inputs go into counteracting the roll and the net effect, hopefully, is no roll. So you wouldn't necessarily...

I don't even wear a seat belt. I'd rather be thrown clear. :lol:

Background checks do keep convicts away to begin with, however. No background check can prevent first offense crimes or misbehavior. But requiring multiple adults to be present would mitigate the first-offense issue unless BOTH adults are *******s or perverts or whatever.

Civil Air Patrol has been doing background checks for a very long time due to the cadet program, which includes orientation flights. They also have adult:kid ratio rules. The CAP had me go to the local sheriff to get a fingerprint card filled out and then they submit it for a government...

Welcome to PoA!

Just link directly to my ap and land me.

I agree. But that was the question related to the STC - what happens when I upgrade my SW version on the GTN? The STC is new enough that this hasn't come up in practice yet.

Correct. There is a licensing agreement. The STC shop first contacted me not long after I installed my GTN 750 in ~June 2013. There was a long wait for the licensing piece to get done. I believe Bendix/King also has one but then that is because Trig manufactures the Bendix/King transponders (or...

If you dove a Cessna with full flaps for even a couple seconds, you'd exceed the white arc and risk breaking one or more flaps off. Flap hits tail... :eek: :dunno:

If you buy an RG, you will become obsessive about that gear. I had very little RG time when I bought mine. I was at about 180 hours PIC or 200ish total time when I bought it. I now have on the order of 250 hours and one instrument rating in the airplane. Doing the IR in my RG was a...
