Well, can't remember the exact wording but pretty sure it is something like there is not a rule for every situation and when there is not pilots should use their best judgment...in this case what is considered "good judgment" in this scenario in the eyes of the FAA is laid out plain as day in...

This mentality of dismissing an AC because it is not regulatory is why people die.

Having sold a ton of various items including boats Craigslist has been the where virtually all my leads ultimately came from even with the listing fee. The paid sites like Boat Trader were worthless and while FB Marketplace is becoming more common, it opens the listing to too many people outside...

Meh...you'll figure it out after the first few times you literally bounce yourself into a go-a-round...or so I've heard...

Right...but when one posts a reply such as "ask your CFI" as a reply to a legitimate nuanced question that insinuates that: 1) the question is so rudimentary that it should be obvious to all CFIs and Pilots and/or 2) I know and I am not going to tell you as you should have asked your CFI first...

What your employees get paid is and what the company bills to the client even for pilot's travel time is irrelevant to the regulation...the reg is as a PPL YOU personally can not receive compensation for transporting goods or people. I own my own company traveling for work and have studied up...

Not only barreling into the traffic pattern but literally barreling into the back of the 152. Regardless of the regs that do not disallow a straight in it was a deadly failure of see and avoid by the twin knowing the 152 called Base who was also technically legal. I 100% blame the twin...

This unfortunately is commonplace at KWVI especially IFR traffic on VMC days which has an opposite approach of typical VFR pattern. Tool that was barging straight in had zero situational awareness of the traffic in the pattern and should have broke off and done a proper pattern entry which is...

Home airport…sad incident and hoping it was not my hangar! https://pajaronian.com/three-dead-after-planes-collide/

Also note it says "should" and not "must and "inform" not "request" If your call to ATC rquires anything other than a response of "thank you" by the controller, you have made a request, not informed. The controller is correct, absent previous altitude restrictions no need to REQUEST anything...

The shear volume of white New Balance sneakers amassed in that one single location must be staggering and impressive sight to see...

That is not quite correct regulatory speaking but the context of you answer is. I used to be in the "If you are on FF your are authorized to enter any Delta" camp but since learned that is not entirely correct. Per the regs to enter Delta you must be in contact with the facility providing air...

First, SoCal WANTS to be talking to you...they would rather have plots on FF in the LA basin and know their intentions vs dealing with a bunch of unverified 1200 targets, so getting FF is a given and rarely denied. On arrival pretty much expect to remain north of I-10 past ONT and it is a...

Well, we DO know that there was NO traffic call and people died, so we know that not doing it because it was not regulatory certainly did not work.

Correct...and controller also failed to provide basic traffic advisories to either of the pilots in a critical phase of flight. Was the the sole cause? No...Was that a contributing factor that may have prevented the deadly accident?...Absolutely IMO. Accidents are rarely a single cause...high...

Pure speculation of course but following your logic if controller knowing of a potential risk and NOT advising pilots of said risk is what would make controller complicit to the outcome IMO if that was in fact the thought process.

Runway mixups by pilots on parallel runways are common and known to be common. What would I add? Explicit traffic advisories to each pilot that another aircraft was on final of the parallel runway in their vicinity. If that was not provided I absolutely put blame on the controller for...

Yeah...but if the controller is gonna provide instructions oblivious to the fact the two aircraft will essentially converge at the same point in space even if parallel runways without warning to each of the pilots the controller is just as much at fault IMO. Yea, it is ultimately on the pilots...

I can recall once trying to stay under a layer to my destination due to the chance of icing at the MEA...I was instrument rated and current and talking to ATC who asked if I needed a clearance so I had an out...but recall heading through a TIGHT pass with clouds closing in struggling to maintain...

Honda is the Gold Standard in terms of reliability, resale, parts access, and ability to get serviced anywhere. I have a 2200 and it is awesome...starts on first or second pull every time...but those come at a premium price. I recently used the Ryobi 2300 for a week and was so impressed I...
