    Should KSMO be Closed?

    This is the funny part....generally pilots are all don't tread on me types....except for when they want to tread on others. Why shouldn't a locally elected board or local referendum make the decision?

    Talk me out of renewing my AOPA membership

    I support them solely to fund Mark Baker's every week trips to Florida and Big Sky Country. They sold many of the planes and now just reimburse him for his own use....good gig for Mark.

    100LL Debacle

    Here's an unpopular opinion, but a real one. Small GA is going to die off. Not enough new people, not enough resources. Part 135 will remain. Uber rich will remain. The rest will die, pistons, small town airports. I love the industry, but there's no saving it, only prolonging the agony (and...

    Mass Termination of DPEs - Portland, ME FSDO

    FAA mismanaged DPE program where a federal agency has to trust someone other than themselves isn't working? I'm shocked. Similarly, a DPE giving improper checkride? I'm shocked... Finally, it almost sounds like FAA's designated representatives looking at aircraft certification...that work...

    Checking the compression before a short field takeoff

    I like to stare at the airplane, sense its inner feelings, give it a brief snuggle and then I am able to tell compression differences of 1/4 PSI or less...... I can also tell if I need to fill up the blinker fluid.

    "Flight Department Company" Trap

    The whole illegal charter effort is looking at Part 91 operators holding out services to the public but not doing the leg work to become a Part 135 operator. For example, company X owns the aircraft and transports its people (Part 91). Then company X says, well maybe we can take these other...
