That is gonna be typical every day but there is still plenty of flyable hours in the AM and early day...we put down in the middle of nowhere New Mexico due to building afternoon thunderstorms that looked pretty ominous on Foreflight...being at a podunk airport with zero services anywhere nearby...

Being a Bread and Butter kinda guy I am not usually a dill pickle fan but been getting the Trader Joes dill pickles and am in love with those...they don't last around long enough to know if they go bad or not...

No, but you can steal WiFi from the Starbucks next-door and watch the live stream of Plane Spotting on Youtube while you enjoy your side of Wings with your side of fries....

Even bird watching I get...there is the lure of the "hunt" and what you will find out in the wild. With planes there is literally an app for that with all the info.

Plane spotting. I understand the appreciation of aviation and even hanging out at an airport once in while to observe the comings and goings...but I don't get those that take it to the level of commercial airport "plane spotting" as a descriptive hobby or even "profession"...I mean there is...

It is not a transition issue IMO rather how you like to process information. I trained in a G1000...never thought I would be able to afford any glass but ultimately bought a 182 that had both steam gauges and Aspen panel so I get both of both worlds with partial glass lest still have a full six...

Absurdity aside of it being technicality of arbitration...what I am still confused by is that according to that video it appears that Insured has a $1M liability policy...so how can there be a judgment against Geico for $5.2M since Geico was not a party to the arbitration? Wouldn't Geico just...

How does this get through about of Common Sense to even be a thing?...oh, right...common sense does not matter any more...

If you are a Sole Proprietor or Partnership does not really matter...you are your business but can be a bookkeeping nightmare co-mingling cards. If you a LLC or Corp you really need to keep business and personal expenses separate and should have company credit cards. I had a Plat AMX for me...

Have used that FF feature quite a few times flying into unfamiliar fields that may have difficulty getting a visual on. Nice to have a pattern aiming point to aid in situational awareness while trying to get a visual on the actual runway.

Agreed...doing the I-10 corridor cross country we were wheels up every day right at sunrise sunrise and glad we did that. By mid day we were dodging thunder bumpers even on an ideal Wx conditions trip.

I-10 then up I-5 will be the safest and most predictable...40 and across to Bakersfield then up is also totally doable but subject to more winds whipping through the passes...not sure I would want to take any of the other alternatives in that thing without being intimately familiar with the route.

Couple thousand hours and does not know how basic operations at towered airports work?...that absolutely deserves some remedial training prior to being allowed to fly again. But yeah...saw a similar thing at an AOPA event mass departure where a dude that was VERY elderly struggling with the...

"Straight for the number" just means get down as quick as possible with as short of an approach as you want without a full standard pattern legs or traffic pattern approach that would typically be expected by Tower. Some pilots can do a turning dive bomb of the threashold and still plunk her...

This...one of my many hats was once being in charge of a Signs Committee for a major annual event and the joke was that we needed to make signs that said "Please Read The Sign" to put above the other signs. People are oblivious...not outta spite, they are just generally clueless.

Due...what are you talking about?...we get the ENTRIE lot...that is why the parking stripes are painted white.

Rarely does it make economical sense to fly private at any level...so what you are buying in reality is time which often manifests in flexibility of said time...then it just becomes a question of what is the value of the person's flying time worth? ...and that is not just physical time of...

Did you try "request lower and direct when able" at any point? While FF is a two way street ATC is gonna move you to where it is convenient for them when needed and not always remember to fix what they did to meet back up with your plans...I never assume they are going to know my expectations...

I always said is I am open to verbal feedback but only thing I expect is your are just my eyes and tell me if I need to pull my hood for anything else. Chatter is handled like any other passenger.

Curious and can't recall...can a student/pilot refuse having an FAA observer on board for a check ride?
