    Flew under a 172 at 17,000’ near PHX.

    If I can't maintain 800fpm I stop climbing.

    Want to buy a plane. What's your take?

    So, figure I'll spell it out...spill my guts...and watch what ensues. I want an airplane. I live in a small town on Florida's east coast and I have dreams of me flying over I95 evacuating my fam over bumper to bumper traffic during some future hurricane evacuation. Also, my boys are 16 and 14...

    Airline pilots. What is a typical day of work like?

    I had a grand plan of sitting in the right seat living in base in MCO until I could hold a line in MCO as Captain. Then I started looking at the pay difference and decided I just couldn’t leave that much $$ on the table. So now I live in base but will be on reserve for the foreseeable future...

    A reminder for why you want WAAS GPS if you fly IFR

    My plane doesn't have WAAS but it does have Cat IIIb auto-land....so I guess I don't miss it? :)

    Airline pilots. What is a typical day of work like?

    I just woke up in San Juan after a short nap. It's 10:30am here and I got to sleep around 6:30 after landing at 3:30am. I just upgraded (that's why I get to post again) so my schedules have taken a pretty major hit...read lot's of red eyes. So now I'm up and I need to figure out a way to manage...

    IFR and Bravo

    They say it right there when you pick up your CLEARANCE. "ATC clears NY0U to KXYZ via runway heading, vectors to ABC as filed..." The only further clearance you need is a clearance to land when you get there. It's also why if they want you to stop they need to amend your clearance by giving...

    Warranty Legal Question

    So, update: Total bluff from Sears. I him'd and haw'd and finally had my guy do it. It was faster and cheaper to blow off Sear's threat so I pulled the trigger and scheduled my guy. He just left and the fridge is rapidly cooling off...good news. I paid him his $113 and called Sears to cancel my...

    Warranty Legal Question

    Part alone is $350. (Trump tariffs aren't helping that)

    Warranty Legal Question

    Yeah, I should update that. I'm in Florida, in between KJAX and KEYW.

    Warranty Legal Question

    I thought I had said that but see I didn't. Yes, the part is covered, the labor is not. $400 is labor for a 1 hour job seems high to me and seems a bit unfair that I'm forced to use their labor. They could charge whatever they like.

    Warranty Legal Question

    Lotta armchair lawyers here, thought I'd see what ya'll thought; I own a Kenmore refrigerator that I bought from Sears just over 2 years ago. Did not buy any service plan. Couple weeks ago it stopped working. I went to Sears with the receipt and the sales guy told me it's not under warranty...

    Pet Peeves

    Why do escalators in airports have to have warnings blaring safety info nonstop while escalators in malls or any other public space seem just fine just operating? And every airport plays a different message; some warn riders to hold on while others drone on about watching your kids while some...

    The telcos do that on purpose. It burns up airminutes which, at least when they started doing that, they charged for. Telcos are evil and there is proof.
