I'm sorry to hear this. Anything, and I do mean ANYTHING involving AT&T will be 5x more painful than it needs to be. Minimum.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, multiple pilots onboard can result in worse decisions. I wouldn't say it's a rule and probably isn't the norm, but I've experienced first-hand where no one wanted to call it quits because it would inconvenience the group. Two cases like that happened in the...

I felt a little rude because I was nervously laughing at a couple points. Thinking "how can this just be a normal flight?". And "is the dakota engine really this rough?" And the plane looked so sexy on the outside that there was some cognitive dissonance in my own head trying to reconcile what I...

I figured a healthy sense of self-preservation would be enough encouragement to fix an airplane that seems to have overt ailments. Perhaps I'm expecting too much, or my risk tolerance is too low. There'd be nothing wrong with him recommending using my aircraft. I'd be happy to trade-off and...

JFC. Had an eventful morning. This is a rant. Accepted an invitation to fly with a guy who has a Dakota at a nearby field. It's a really slick plane with a new gps navigator and new paint (two things my plane doesn't have), so I said why not? Been jonesing to fly after my ear infection kept me...

Welp, the work has been underway for a week now and it turns out there's no way my deposit amount is enough to cover the amount of timber they've bought, many of it being big, custom cuts. frankly they've had to replace so much wood on my deck that I'm wondering if there'll be any original...

Definitely would have been me if I drove a bus for me and my friends circa 1998-2005.

Due to an absolutely **** ear infection I was grounded for a couple weeks. No idea where it came from but it was painful. Even slight pressure changes from elevation when driving in flat ol' Illinois could be a little painful. Went up for a sunset/night cruise tonight and man it felt good...

I was just looking at the sectional near kansas city and saw this. Thought it was a fun name for the 533' grass field! Shortest I've ever seen, I think.

I'm going to encourage my brother to pull this on my niece and see how it goes for him...

I'm really sorry to hear about this situation, it sounds absolutely awful. Dudes who just don't get the message can be total ****ing whackjobs. But IMHO -- unless they've progressed to the point where the boundaries they've set with him are: "I better never see or hear from you again or I'm...

Good ******* god. TWO YEARS?!?!

There's not many people who have written a public comment on the AD, only 21 so far that I can see... :(

Saw this on reddit, thought it was pretty hilarious

I've wondered the same thing. The weather aircraft I saw flying through Milton this time were the Orion and the C130J.

How does one go about submitting commentary to the FAA for this particular rule?

Damn! Piper really came out swinging with their response. To my great surprise - Piper actually seems to be sticking their neck out here to defend the fleet of planes from 50y ago! A lot of gems buried in there. FAA can't be happy to read lines like: "[FAA] mis-characterize the extent of...

What did your prebuy reveal about the engine?

Chicago winters might be treacherous sometimes, but I'll take them any day of the week over watching a hurricane barreling towards my home. I don't know how you all in FL cope with that stuff. That'd be a 1-and-done for me. Especially with the crazy insurance costs I'm reading about out there...
