    Emergency battery pack for home refrigerator?

    Interesting new Florida law.....

    The law states that no one may knowingly or willfully fly a drone over a school. I would think that if we are talking about the elementary school down the street that has a sign and a bunch of kids getting dropped off everyday the law would assume that you knew it was a school. The law probably...

    Does the signoff BASIC-MED physician have the authority to determine what medications are LEGAL to fly under?

    In this case “you” only applies to pilots that spend hours scrolling thru the FAA website to find “regulations” that the FAA made up and only published on the website.

    Leasing time in aircraft to a non-pilot

    My understanding is that if Mr. B says the pilot used has to come off that list then it would be illegal. However if Mr. B states that the pilots on the list have already met the insurance requirements but the lessee is welcome to use a different pilot as long as they meet the insurance...

    Tall Vikings

    This is what I was taught when learning to navigate ships in the Navy. Someone must have gotten “offended” because the Navy changed it to Timely Vessels Make Distance Count at war.

    Commercial pilot for hire question

    I have had several students that had a scholarship to pay for them to get their private pilots license. I used my GI Bill to pay for my flight training.

    Interesting new Wings Course

    The schedule may not show it properly but as long as the CFi holds a second or first class medical why would this be a problem? Even if there isn’t any instruction going on it is perfectly legal for the owner of a plane to hire a commercial pilot to fly his plane for him.
