I crossed paths with a 747 Heavy climbing outta SFO and advised as such by ATC...He was MILES off by time I crossed his path and I thought I was well above his his climb path but we still got tangled up in the wake turbulence and it was like hitting a brick wall. We were all thrown into the...

An instruction is not a clearance per the FAA and pilot is still ultimately responsible to ensure they are in in compliance with all the regs. You were on a discrete squawk and give and instruction so you were good to fly through the Disney TFR even through you did not establish with SoCal...

Most every manufacturer has officially or unofficially abandoned Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Makes for a great talking point but in reality turns out not to be practical at scale. Got to see behind the curtains at the California Fuel Cell Partnership in Sacramento, CA that was envisioned to pull the...

Only once when Foreflight crashed when iPad overheated...

This. Declaring an emergency only exempts a pilot from violations of the FARs…not any other law or regulation…like being shot down and disappearing the face of the earth and any know existence of your being…good luck.

Yeah...called them as I really want a 15' container which the have and they quoted me $7k for a 20' when I can get them through the brokers for $3K

I get the love for aviation and airplanes…just don’t get the sitting in the side of a commercial runway to “plane spot” generic mass produced planes when you can look up on an app what planes are coming.

Tapping in to the hive of smarter than me and of pool of random information.... Where to buy a used 20' cargo container direct? Criaigslist and FB Market Place are littered with brokers and most are fly by night twits hiring some random delivery dude with a truck and some are legit container...

I don't get it...I mean are there also people that stand on freeway overpasses and are like "Ohhh, look...a Toyota 4Runner!..." ?

Yeah...those were numbers being quoted many many moons ago...wish I could get an overhaul for $30k today!

Anything below 1500'...that is flying 1000' AGL and 500' under deck which is still VFR assuming Echo. I duck under 2K ceilings all the time and don't really consider that scud running...but it is usually a very well defined marine layer for a limited distance.

Grade school ...like 4th and 5th grade...there was a new construction development behind my house so during summer a buddy and I sat on one of the corners with a cooler full of cold water and sodas selling to all the workers...made a killing. Now aways we have Karens calling cop on kids with...

Thought this this was already beat to death and a done deal with FAA cowering to the NIMBYs and fate sealed to hand over property to developers that have been salivating. City wants to close the airport...fine, they need not to be obliged to operate it in perpetuity but according to the land...

Some pilots mistakenly think that you need a landing clearance or even instructions to turn final or even base...heck, you can cross the threshold without a landing clearance, just can't touch down. "Follow" was the instruction in this case.. As others said...misstep was not turning base once...

As I understand it it was not a total collapse in the sense of there is no more money and everyone is totally wiped out...there are still assets remaining that cover deposits, just not all liquid and the Feds stepped in to stop a complete run which would have been a total meltdown and spun the...

Just bought a a place with private financing and almost closed on another that was seller financing but I backed out...was surprised how straight forward everything was being unfamiliar with both and how readily available both were, Title company set up everything for both parties just as is if...

The norm and with little competition in most markets there is little incentive to improve especially when they are weeks backed up. Just cuz someone is good a wrenching on a plane does not mean they are good a running a businness or customer service so sometimes we as the customer suffer.

Depends...is a FSDO rep in the back seat?
