In Argentina (the whole country), attendants must pump your gas. It's much slower; at busy places there are often lines of people waiting for gas, like the 1970s in the US. But good luck to any politician who wants to propose changing the law that kills their jobs. Populism.

I'd love to join, I'll PM you. I live northwest 183, and fly out of KGTU. I'm in South America at the moment but I'll be back in Austin just in time for the summer heat :)

KHYI - San Marcos Texas. There's a Jason's Deli a few miles up the road that I think delivers: http://www.jasonsdeli.com/restaurants/san-marcos-deli I ate there a lot when I was doing my IFR training at KHYI Update: I'm sorry, I just saw your map attachment, I think KHYI is a bit South of...

Hopefully they'll publish the ATC audio from Memphis Center in the final report.

To the instructors here who have had extremely fast learners: Do you ever ask the student what methods they used to prepare? Was it years of flight simulator? Was it watching youtube videos? Radio control planes? Reading Stick n' Rudder? Visualizing the flight beforehand? Sometimes maybe...

What is the actual price? I didn't find it on their web site.

There are several L-39 pilots in Florida, I think one may even be able to do a "training" flight. I don't know any of them myself, but you may contact someone at Code 1 Aviation - http://www.code1aviation.com/ Otherwise I know Larry at Jetwarbird.com can do it, but he's in Santa Fe.

Here's their rate sheet: http://lakeshorehelicopter.com/rate-sheet/

It's not pressured. I noticed in the flightaware link that they first climbed to 17500 (a VFR altitude) for about 15 minutes before climbing to FL250. Of course you need oxygen at 14,000, but as you go above 18000 you're supposed to wear a facemask rather than the cannula. Are there ATC...

For me the best way to understand it is visually: The above image is from the following web page: http://newlangsyne.com/articles/xcplan/index.htm Go to the section entitled Four Words The words are course, track, heading, and bearing. If there is no wind and the pilot flies his line...

Did you eat at Cyd's? That place is great. And Dr. Chien is awesome.

Harlingen (KHRL) back course 35L approach starts over Mexico (if you use the ACREW IAF). I want to fly it sometime. Here it is: http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1612/00827LDBC35L.PDF

Ah ok. In that case, I think you can descend to 2000, since it is the published MEA for that segment of the approach (from ORSOF to TUNJU).

If they told you to "expect" a certain IAF before you lost comms, then I would use that IAF. If you weren't given an expected IAF, then I think ORSOF is the most logical since your route was from CRG, and ORSOF is on the way. For the 2nd question, I don't think you can descend below 2100 on...

This comes up more for helicopters, which can land in almost any field. I don't know the laws, but I seem to recall that they can't land in national parks without prior permission, but (I think) they can land on other BLM land? Ask on a helicopter forum, you may get some good answers.

I wish there were a "Yelp for airports" app/website. Foreflight's comments are a start, but Foreflight isn't free (limiting reviews). This app/website would have to be free.

I'd love to know who this instructor is (PM if you prefer). thanks

This place in Arkansas is advertising R44 training time (including instructor) for $380/hr, if you buy a 10 hour block. Or $400/hr for a 5 hour block. Here's the link: http://www.arhelicopters.com/services-2/flight-instruction/ For comparison, at Mauna Loa Helicopters in Hawaii, R44 dual time...

I had the Instrument written exam today (92% woo!) and I got this exact question. I did the calculations and came up with the same numbers as you - 71 minutes and 17.7 gallons. No answer matched so I chose (c) 61 minutes, 19 gallons, since it was the closest and also the most conservative for...

If requesting a new copy doesn't invalidate the old one, then you could request the copy and that would be a backup, both legal.
