Without a doubt, ground transportation at my destination is the biggest obstacle to my flying GA more.

Oh, there's still time for them to do that.

I loved my view master as a kid. I had a set that came with a bunch of Peanuts comics on the disks. I think I had some Road Runner ones, too.

US Supreme Court decision today striking down New York's restrictive gun permit legislation that required a showing of a need for a firearm before a handgun permit will be issued.

If the aircraft registration were expired, he could be charged with a felony.

Interesting question. But the district attorney would have to find some statute other than that regulation to charge the pilot under for it to be a criminal matter. Perhaps if the registration were expired. Then the DA would be good to go.

It has to do with the nature of the sanction imposed. With respect to an FAA enforcement action, they are just revoking or suspending your license. With the SEC charges, they were seeking to impose substantial fines. I suppose if the FAA were to seek a fine, then one could argue that the...

I was all set to argue with you. But then this opinion was handed down by the Washington State Supreme Court. 997306.pdf (wa.gov) Sorry, I got nothin'.

Awesome. Now we can make a small fortune. (We just need a large one to get started.)

Not on the RG. The RG has a 200hp fuel injected engine.

Sadly, that is my experience, too.

Everybody thinks they have a sense of humor. But then they don't all.

My questions are, if you are at the MDA, how far do you clear the towers, and is that enough clearance to provide a sufficient margin of safety?

One would think that the Chinese government would be more inclined to want to present to the world that their pilot made an error than intentionally murdered a plane load of people.

I have one of those old 1980s style plastic six pack sized coolers which is a perfect size for one pork butt. I don't even need to wrap it. Just drop the pork butt in and put the lid on and it stays way too hot to handle when it comes out. They are great for taking a smoked pork butt to...

Start earlier. You can put your meat in a cooler when they are finished to rest until you are ready to eat. The meat needs to rest anyway. If you want to eat at 6, plan for it to be done at 4 and to put it in the cooler until you are ready. If it goes over by an hour, it only sits in the...

It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping.

Everything you said is right on (particularly as you describe the requirement for both the SAC card and the waivered airspace), except technically the FAA issues the SAC cards, not ICAS. It is true that the FAA delegated the evaluation to ICAS and EAA Warbirds under FAA Order 8900.1 (5-1546...

We went to the FAA (anonymously at first), confessed, and they issued a letter to his file that the mistake had been counseled and they blessed his certificate. Tbey also reached out to the CFI and DPE. I thought they might make him re do the test, but it was easier for them just to issue the...
