Since it is election season (you may not have noticed). The first President of the United States? John Hanson

Nick, I understand you are afraid. People have been raising kids for all of history, with a lot less going for them than you have. A lot less. One foot in front of the other. Be the best damn dad you can be. Work hard to provide. Work hard to coparent with the child’s mother, in whatever form...

https://bydanjohnson.com/firm-list/ Hi Jarhead. Welcome to the board and congrats on getting back in the air. This list is a bit dated, but should give you a good starting point of places to check.

Not excusing Rush or condoning his approach…at all. But, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the notion that an adult could not fully grasp that a place with 400x standard atmospheric pressure is a pretty darn dangerous place to be.

“Altitude your discretion” is what releases your altitude assignment. Proceed on course or resume own nav are only supposed to apply to heading.

In this time when your participation in ______ is literally the most important in the literal history of ______, we literally have an army of heroes that are literally fighting for your literal ______. Click here, contribute there, and hate everyone that does not think, do, and believe the...

To follow on the E-LSA / S-LSA comment - E-LSA also opens you up for IFR. If you are new to the LSA world, you might want to read up on the E-LSA/S-LSA distinction a bit. As an S-LSA, you can’t make any changes to the aircraft without a letter of authorization from the manufacturer (which are...

No argument there - but that risk is present regardless of certificate level. It’s not like we are teaching management of o2 systems to a PPl ‘learner’ that is not being taught to SPL ‘learners’. If o2 systems introduce undue complexity - require systems training and endorsement for flight...

I begin from the premise that planes don’t fall out of the sky due to the class of medical of the pilot (or the absence of a medical). The FAA agrees. When they do fall from the sky, it is (statistically) an engine issue. The ability of the PIC to successfully handle that situation is more...

If safety is the goal - wouldn’t we prefer pilots at a higher altitude? I would argue a pilot transitioning a densely populated area at 10k feet with lots of glide range/options is safer than a pilot scooting underneath the shelf at 1700 feet and (nearly) no options.

I scratch my head every time I hear this. A disqualifying medical condition can happen to anyone. A DUI requires active participation.

So very sorry. Strength to you as you lead your family through this time, and prayers for the peace that will come in time.

Sorry that happened and glad it turned out ok. I’m curious why you didn’t mayday on 21.5? Not being snarky - questioning my own emergency thinking/procedures. My view has always been that, once past the immediate aviate and navigate, 7700 will be my first communicate step. Somewhere, I am...

Got it. I didn’t realize they require certified A/C.

Why not an RV10? Same or better performance, save on wingspan (31.9 vs 38.4), and save lots of $.

Yep. It’s called ‘squawk 7700’. Don’t even need a smart phone.

I think they very recently stopped this. I flew into KARR a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t hear about the Joliet VOR or 18/36.
