Bring both, but they should let you use the electronic one (I used one for IR test a few weeks ago). Use the electronic one. You'll spend the majority of your time flipping through the book looking for the charts, pictures, etc. you can save your self some brain damage. Once you're done with...

That makes sense. I thought it was US based so I've been surprised I couldn't find the incident anywhere.

Correct. It was pilot + an unrelated husband and wife.

I didn't even think of this until you said that. I wonder if the door would be enough to disrupt airflow over the elevator.

So do we think the pilot lied or the passenger that said the pilot told him that the "gauges went out and he lost control" lied? To me, this was the weirdest thing for the pilot to say, so I questioned whether the passenger made it up or the pilot did a really bad CYA. I have never flown an...

I saw a reel this morning on Instagram. I can't find any information on this crash and I'm wondering if all you experts might recall if this is an older incident or new or ??? Reel is only about 30 seconds long. It's a high wing aircraft, single engine, poster said it was a Cessna. Poster also...

I can't believe it. Another Boeing incident

Just because I use an iPad to do flight planning does not mean I cannot perform that function without one.

That's exactly what I said. Maybe I misunderstood Salty's comment originally, but the DPE should not be failing anyone simply for using an iPad to do flight planning. If they can't answer questions about the plan or do any of the manual calculations (which by the way, they likely demonstrated...

The DPE doesn't sit there and watch you take the written exam. This was specifically about a DPE failing a student on a check ride because they did their flight planning on an iPad. Why is that so confusing? If the DPE, during a check ride oral (which I'm assuming is where this story...

I mean, that's not what he said. If that's what he meant fine, but he clearly said check ride (which is also only relevant about a DPE failing a student for using an iPad).

Really, can you point me to the spot in the ACS where it says you fail for using an iPad to do your flight plan?

This to me is BS from the DPE. I'm totally in agreement with needing to know how to fly and navigate without your iPad and failing it on a checkride is fine, but for flight planning, computers are the tools everyone uses. I mean, I'm sure there's someone here that says they unfold their paper...

I find that the FAA is usually reactionary to events happening in aviation. I'm not aware of any actual safety or flight issues caused by the use of a tablet consuming data from an installed device to help aid situation awareness, so I would assume that wasn't their intention. There is...

I suppose the pilot could have massively over corrected in a panic, which could explain the right turn, but everything "looks" like pilot rolled off the pavement to me. Just an opinion though.

I definitely saw a very early report that said the flight rolled long and they ran off into the grass trying to make the taxiway vs. rolling straight off the end of the runway. More recent reports seem to indicate a gear failure occurred before running off. I'm assuming interviews will answer...

Only $20 + some rigging probably

I don't really have an opinion yet, but I'm curious where you draw the line. Should a couple of ATPs working for Delta be able to throw themselves on a Blackbird-like service and John Travolta decides to rent out his 727 to fly 150 passengers from New York to LA in their spare time?

I will echo what pretty much everyone else has said here about different missions for annual vs. pre-buy, but also add actual, recent experience. Last year when shopping for an Arrow, I found one with a good price, decent panel and a recent annual. Got a copy of the annual from the owner and...

Not sure if everyone is intentionally trying to be obtuse here, but it's coxswain. Cox is also a verb. I don't think that's interchangeable with cocks.
