Is should’ve added that the beach rentals are really cheaper than the past five years also.

Fly in the morning, don’t be so tied to the schedule. I fly to Gulf coast of Florida all the time and I’m VFR only. ForeFlight and wisdom will keep you safe. The beaches are open, some would argue too open. Restaurants are allowing 50% dine in and getting really good at take out or delivery...

I find them to be a bit less loud. The engine isn’t two feet in front of you. Some say the opposite. I’ve flown in a whopping five twins so nothing scientific.

My wife knows my tail number. I text when I am departing and tell her when I should be safely down. I’ve always texted ahead of that time to say I’m safe.

I fly with family and friends that I spend time with regularly. No mask therefore.

I’m in for breakfast, no golf for me.

I won’t blame you but I got nothing as far as a notification... I’m in provided the weather gods smile.

I cancelled a flight today due to weather also. Could have made it. But then I’d not been “stuck” at the beach a few more days....

Sorry, I’m just getting back to this and there are a lot of replies. There is no crossing runway. As I said, it didn’t bother me, it just seemed strange. It is at KECP that I was landing. The last thing I want to do is mess up people behind me. Even if it is my “right”, I’d do whatever helps the flow.

I can’t speak to the NY part of the equation but I flew here, Florida, from Georgia Thursday. It is wall to wall people (I’m west of PCB and near 30A) and very little attention to social distancing, wearing masks or anything compared to Georgia. I‘m not making a safety statement, but I assume it...

I was landing at a 10,000+ ft runway Thursday and before I was cleared to land, I let them know I intended to land long (avoiding a super long taxi). The tower asked me to wait and then came back that I was “approved” to land long. I think that is strange. It is my landing once cleared, right...

I generally call ahead. In the Southeast, a few FBOs removed all the tie down ropes. I think this is a liability thing. I always carry straps but that is another question I like to ask. I needed a courtesy car for two hours in Alabama Friday. I called ahead, explained why and what I needed...

Of course this comes four days after I talked my instructor into doing my review (due today). It was a risk I chose to take (I think pretty small). The FAA took almost two months to do what could have been done early March. Not that anybody expects the govt to be efficient...

As many businesses are being shut down or shuttered without their input, it seems nuts an FBO would do it themselves over such minuscule risk. Unless they keep the full service open for an extra $2 a gallon....

Friends usually want to see the plane and will pick us up. Rental car if overnight. Crew car if shorter. Thought we would love it when they have the car pulled up to the tie down locations, but nature's call to the bathroom usually takes away the coolness, especially with a kid.... We have...

I flew today also, moving my plane from my IAs airport to mine. Short flight but underneath the first layer of Atlanta Bravo. Did not see a single plane (visually, not on the iPad) or hear a single call on an overused CTAF...

I assumed he meant flying past your BFR date.

I might have been a bit nicer if it was my plane. That said, nothing written and he isn't being super harsh. Nobody got into this because of the bargain of flying.
