    Current Pilot going for part 107

    Been looking around the interwebs for guidance on getting 107 cert but they all seem to be for non-pilots. Anyone know if there's any difference the the track if already a certificated pilot?

    Purpose of activating a Parallel Track?

    Oh, and i've used laterial offset to get around weather, although that's pretty rare. But if you just need like 10 miles or so to clear weather then an offset can get the job done. Typically you fly a heading and then some fix down the road when able, but an offset can accomplish the same thing...

    Purpose of activating a Parallel Track?

    SLOP Strategic Laterial Offset Program basically you fly 1 or 2 miles right of course so as to not hit an oncomming aircraft on an airway as modern avionics are dead on accurate. Old days the odds of actually hitting were minuscule. Today if there's an error and you're on the track you'll...

    Theaters

    Yeah, why do celebrities feel the need to spew political noise? Kirk Cameron, Clint Eastwood and Tim Allen come to mind. Just ruins the experience.

    First Airplane Recommendations

    Have you considered an A320? Cockpit is super comfortable, performance isn’t bad, and getting coffee enroute from the lead flight attendant is a nice touch.

    Which car is cooler

    I recently took a trip to the store to buy a couple things and saw this car in the parking lot. The juxtaposition between this car and my car struck me so I parked next to it and took this picture. Couple questions; Which car is cooler? Which car is worth more "as is"? Which car changed...

    Can Tesla Disable and or Lock you out of the car?

    Well, global warming is actually caused by releasing millions of years of carbon storage in a 40 year span. Humans were just the biological glitch that enabled the release. But not to worry, humans will bear most of the pain for their culpability in this so it all balances out.

    STAR gone too far?

    My understanding is that technically you are correct that the FAA creates the fixes and names and approves them, but I'm 99.9% sure that local controllers develop the approaches and arrivals including fix names and submit them to the FAA for approval.

    STAR gone too far?

    Im not making a position here. Saw it and thought it…unusual. Discussion about a STAR naming convention seems appropriate and to be sure ill leave politics out of it.

    STAR gone too far?

    Just flew a STAR in DFW. It's a newer arrival published 16apr21 and is on 1st rev with no changes. It's the BEREE 1 rnav arrival and is pronounced "Berry 1" as evidenced by several appch controllers. Now... Isn't "Berry" the slang term for former President Barrack Obama? And the fixes along the...

    EV vs ICE the real cost to individuals. N/A

    A resource that is quickly and efficiently recycled is exponentialy better than a fuel source that is burned during consumption, screws up the earth whilst airborne, takes thousands of years to be reabsorbed by plants, 100s more years to then decompose and THEN millions of years to be heated and...

    EV vs ICE the real cost to individuals. N/A

    IMO they are absolutely there. And Tesla being production limited despite price increases, tax incentive expirations, and production doubling year over year would support my position. I absolutely love my Tesla (used 2019 model S 85D). I drive 90 minutes to MCO and use the super charger for 10...
