At the 90 degree point you should be noting the relationship between the nose and the horizon. Keep looking outside to maintain that same pitch attitude for the second half of the maneuver. You'll be applying more and more back pressure as your airspeed decays. Don't start staring at the AI to...

Oops, I meant to refer to the old tower, not the new tower, although you understood it anyways. Are you looking to buy a 182? Is it 87F?

I'm in a flying club based between Atlantic and the tower.

All legs are covered for the upcoming weekend (Jan 6 or 7) except one: https://pilotsnpaws.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50118

I know the owner has been trying to sell it for several years. It looks like it'll cost a lot to get it airworthy again. I wouldn't be surprised to find animals living inside it. And there's probably corrosion in the cylinders.

I know where you can get one for only $5,000. It's been sitting in the same spot for several years.

With no aviation exclusion?

Before I turned 40 I bought a $150,000 term life policy from Farmers for $208 per year for ten years. That includes an extra $12 per year to avoid the aviation exclusion. They did send a nurse to my house to check my vitals, collect urine, and draw blood. They also wanted to know about my...

Payson or Sedona for the view or food. Eloy for spectating. Lake Havasu for a brewery overnight.

As much as I'd like to suggest Tucson and a visit to the air and space museum it's probably better to do an initial fly-in in the Phoenix area since it's more central and we want to encourage a large group of initial participants.

Might be time for a PoA AZ fly-in. Just because.

It's relevant for the safety pilot since that determines if he or she is logging PIC or SIC time. In the case of the OP the safety pilot has to act as PIC under IFR so would be logging PIC time when allowed to log flight time.

I emailed some mechanics I know. I'll let you know if any are interested.

Make sure your policy covers you even when you're not in the aircraft e.g. you sign off a student pilot to solo who then crashes into a house and the homeowners sue you. Some cheaper policies will only cover accidents that occur with you on board.

I get Jepp emails that look blank, but then I look at the raw source and see HTML that wasn't rendered properly.

Penn and Teller at the Rio.

I've flown Tucson to Eugene a few times. Usually go over Blythe and then either through or around the L.A. basin. Then north through Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, etc. I'm not worried about MOAs or restricted areas messing up my plans. But, I usually fly at 10000-12000 feet for this route.

That's probably okay as you didn't make the flight with the intent to obtain compensation from it, but you could ask for an interpretation from the FAA :)

The 1995 interpretation no longer seems to be the controlling interpretation. See the 2010 Perry interpretation: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/data/interps/2010/perry%20-%20(2010)%20legal%20interpretation.pdf

The flying is not incidental to the business of aerial photography. The flying is inherently part of the business. A commercial rating is required. https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/pic-archive/operations/aerial-photography
