    VFR flight plan - why?

    I think it does. The document specifying "Requirements to Operate To, From, or Within the DC SFRA" states: Two-way radio Operating transponder with altitude reporting (Mode C) Flight plan appropriate to intended operation: IFR: IFR flight plan VFR: DC SFRA flight plan for all operations...

    For reasons of national security, please kindly don't fly so low

    Yes the Savannah River Nuclear Plant is there. There are often huge billowing clouds of steam which could be a problem for VFR flying, and of course the presence of radioactive material, and radioactive waste (which is the main emphasis of the plant these days) makes it a potential target for a...

    The greater concern than hotel USB chargers is airport USB chargers. They get massive usage and have been known to be hacked.

    I think it's time to quit Hertz

    100% agree, but the capital outlay to build back up a large inventory of cars nationwide would possibly be quite large. And I guess they already spent their COVID loans on other stuff...

    I think it's time to quit Hertz

    I had a similar story in Israel with the Hertz counterpart there. Reserved a car, they didn't have it. What I learned, and this might be true for the US as well, is that during COVID car rental companies really struggled to stay afloat and sold off a lot of their cars just to keep cash flow...

    Grand Canyon tour

    The YouTube channel Aviation101 has a video of a 172 doing the VFR corridors over the Grand Canyon. He has a whole series on flying out west also in a Cherokee 180. The guy is a CFII and commercially rated, but flies a 172. His videos are beautifully shot and his narration is loaded with...

    Overtly lying on medical for class 3

    Having the untaken medication is a good way to document that it was, well, untaken. If you have prescriptions on record, but you don't have the meds, either (1) you took them (2) you trashed them or (3) you passed them along to someone else. How is the AME to know? I think if you continue to...

    NZ to weigh pax

    I have always liked the idea of passenger flights charged by total weight. They don't even have to define "overweight" just set a reasonable number for passenger+bags and then charge a bit more per pound for going over, a bit less for going under. I'm overweight and so I'd have to really budget...

    May I conclude the use of bupropion/Welbutrin for weight loss would be acceptable as well?

    Should a CFI keep a TAZER handy?

    Go Mossad and use a suppressed .22 Baretta.

    Should a CFI keep a TAZER handy?

    Since it's a 3rd/4th generation Colts, I normally use smokeless powder, but I have been known to indulge in the holy incense from time to time. I also have some front-stuffer revolvers, Springfield Trapdoor, and a replica flintlock rifle, so I get lots of chances to inhale the sacred fumes! But...

    Should a CFI keep a TAZER handy?

    I'd go for for my Colt Single Action Army revolver in .44 WCF (aka .44-40). Not too big, not to small, just right.

    Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs

    while we're at it, why do some yolks break when you crack the egg into a bowl, and others don't. When hoping for a nice fried egg, a broken yolk is a disappointment.
