243 is the military guard frequency. It's their version of 121.5. Modern 406 ELTs will still signal on 121.5 to assist with DF searching, say by CAP.

A+ and mosquitoes don't like me. But I think it's more about diet than blood type, something like the smell of your skin. That's why alcohol makes them more likely to bite, as your body sweats out the alcohol, it changes how you smell.

I can't think of anything else. With a hole in the clouds, that's the choice, or go over the ridge between the cloud and ground. Not legal, but emergency. With a vfr gps (no VOR?), you're using foreflight for the approach plate? Or you don't have one? No way I would voluntarily try to...

Yes, all three drugs work the same way. Mounjaro/Zepbound is a considered a little more effective.

Well, call me stubborn. Or maybe just too dumb to quit Reading carefully, I saw this: The Special PIC Qualification Airports List can be accessed in DRS: • Click on “Flight Standards Administrative Information,” • Click on “Operations Safety System Documents (OPSS),” and • Select the...

It looks like the update list gets cancelled after a year and reissued. Current updates at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/orders_notices/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1041942 The list is maintained by AFS-200 and is a series 8900 notice. Here's the URL that eventually...

You might also ask about Zepbound if your intention is weight loss. Zepbound is the same as Mounjaro (Eli Lilly’s drug in the same class), but it is specifically for weight loss without diabetes. It may avoid future questions about why you got a drug for diabetes, say on a future life insurance...

My take away was a reminder that the ground isn’t flat and mountains definitely are not. Secondarily, when flying toward a location with rising terrain your ground clearance will get smaller. Don't judge clearance by where you took off. Good reminder, thanks to Salty for posting.

Too late. You're on their radar now.

That would be up to your doctor. Mine said if it was 400 he would be sending me to the hospital. It wasn't. Eat well, stay active.

You could do an approach at KLUX to get under the ceiling, but the ceiling was varying between 1100-1300 and field elevation is 680. At times there wasn’t 500’ of ground clearance. Not my idea of fun. I saw nobody fly an approach.

I was thinking about that yesterday and then saw you were out. At some point we will connect

Low IFR over SC00. I’m close but there’s no legal way to get in, so going somewhere east where’s there is some clear weather.

Working too hard Mark? What’s this chit at KTTA? I might not be going either.

Important note Triple Tree is asking anyone planning to attend the SCBC on August 18 to Pre-Register on their web site (https://tta.aero/aviation-events/scbc/). Tickets may be purchased until Saturday, August 17 at 2pm EDT. Pre-registration ticket prices: $15/adult, $7/child (7-12). Tickets...

Were they on autopilot? The speed changes with the constant altitude is scary looking, but the altitude is constant. In icing?

Ditto, but without the laugh. There is zero tolerance for lying in aviation. It sounds like you're well within the ability to fly sport at least. Recommend you go that route for now, learn you way around and get a consult with an AME on your history before you submit an application. You...

I’m in Italy right now, somehwere south of Verona. Out of morbid curiosity I did step on the pedal and open the lid. The left bin was empty.

Ran across this today in a nice hotel that is just asking you to sort your trash. What do you have?

Good to hear. If I recall, we were in primary training around the same time, it looks like you were able to dive in a lot deeper than I did. I could complain about work but then I'd have to complain about not being able to fly. Congratulations on the success..
