Hee Hee, always the troublemaker.

It certainly saves time. In real life I think unusual attitudes are actually a surprise which is experienced during high workload situations. But in training you need to set them up. Holds are high work load and telling the pilot that they need to remain in the holding airspace when they...

Are you talking about launching VFR and then calling approach for a clearance with no Inst. Plan on file? If that is the case I would not expect a warm welcome from PHL approach or any class B for that matter. That said, I've had it go both ways outside class B airspace. Usually they just get...

I agree. I find holds are intimidating for many pilots, especially those who don't have modern gps navigators. In those cases I use the first time around to let the pilot settle down, but 1 is sufficient.

True enough. I'm just trying to avoid buying additional devices.

Good suggestions.

What long list? Rigid yes, but not long. 1.3 hrs. max if you are proficient and efficient not including time to get to a suitable airport. Vectors to a precision approach (ILS or LPV <300'). Fly the published miss. Two times around the hold with unusual attitudes while holding...

I have one of these for recording youth soccer matches: https://www.veo.co/us/camera/ I am wondering the following: 1) Would this be suitable for mounting beneath Lady Luscombe (LL) and panoramic recording? If so any mounting hints or tips? 2) Is there adequate post production stabilization...

Knowing they are going to ask that I usually just tell them on my initial call up.

I've been doing this frequently out of PTW. PTW to PTW Route: KRDG. Remarks: Pilot training, multiple approaches. Ship has only VOR/ILS. In contrast to their problematic VFR services RDG has been spectacularly good with IFR services. Asked for and received numerous modification to published...

Just feedback on the Luscombe. Hanger or no hanger. Metal Luscombe 8A was my choice because no hangar and no electrical hence no x-ponder/adsb operating under the PHL class B. BUT A-65 engine parts are getting scarce and expensive. If looking at Luscombes look for a ship with wing tanks and...

Passengers are a big danger. Short of diverting because they are dying or experiencing and uncontrolled panic attack passengers are best ignored except during cruise.

I know this is a thought exercise, but. Before challenging the FAA on anything think through all the possible consequences. See Warbirds.

To my knowledge only the transponder and ADSB-OUT must meet TSO requirements to be legal for use in the national air space system under part 91. If the "experimental" avionics are TSOd then they meet that requirement. I see no reason why other Non-TSO or even avionics marketed as experimental...

It is the instructor who is being carried for hire. The full explanation of the a) the disconnect between part 61 and part 91 AND 2) the contradiction between old guidance and new regulatory consistency is found in the Federal Register...

Drew Pearson delivers a zinger to Mike Ditka during Hall of Fame speech

I occasionally end up at places like that. I say top-her-off even if it is just two or three gallons. In Lebanon, NH if you say those magic words you not only get the fee waived they give a very nice bottle of grade A maple syrup. So, six gallons later the value of the maple syrup brought my...

Do wives 1 & 2 count?

Ah that's right. The basis for SNL's "Jane you ignorant slut."

Having 3 kids going to college in 4 years and numerous standardized tests in the public school system I aware that there are techniques that can improve your score on any multiple choice standardized test.
