I don't recall the year, but the original standard was along the lines of "normal, natural health". The problem is, as we learn more about medical conditions, almost everyone becomes abnormal in some way.

This is correct (at least for California). If you buy the LLC, you do not pay "use" (sales) tax that would otherwise be due. On the flip side, there is an $800 annual LLC fee, and as another person stated above, LLCs cannot use the "antique aircraft/display" exemption for property tax (if the...

Some info I've received is that the field will likely be closed to all public use at least through 2026. Insurance and business reasons.

To be clear, you previously held a 3rd Class or higher medical, even though you are just now going for PPL? (May be the case if you started training some time ago and stopped.) If you never held a 3rd Class or higher, you can't have BasicMed.

Spoiled, and deserves it.

I strongly encourage everyone who hasn't to try to get on a tour of your local TRACON facility. Barring that, get in touch with your local TRACON and discuss setting up a safety meeting at your local airport with a representative from the TRACON to discuss how we all interact with each other in...

Plot twist: Everyone on the flight had to binge watch Bluey, and everyone learned to be kind to each other.

I'd wipe my fingerprints off of it too, for good measure.

You're calling me out for telling someone to report an AME they think is not following the rules. I made no specific judgement that was definitely the here case. So, you're implying that pilots don't have any right to complain if they think they're being mistreated by an AME. Got it.

I'd say any AME not following the FAA procedures should be reported to the RFS.

Fly the SFRA Corridor and have them jump from 3,500'. (Real world: Uber from HHR)

The only situation I can think of where this *might* be a factor is if an A&P told someone "yes, you can do this yourself, and you don't need an A&P to sign off on it", and the information the A&P stated was factually incorrect and resulted in harm. However, a pilot/owner is also responsible for...

One of our local controllers can best be described as "less than enthusiastic about their job", so I try to distill things down for him to minimize the chance of the radio exchanges going awry.

I will only report from one of the four "cardinal" points, and four ordinal points (NE, SE, SW, NW). I won't try to describe "NNE" or "SSW" to a controller. I'll bias my reported location in the direction from which I want them to think I'm located for operational purposes (such as, if I'm...

I don't get why this is hard to understand. The CRJ was stopped, or for all practical purposes we should assume it was stopped. The A350 hit a parked plane. If you hit a parked car with your car, you're responsible. That the CRJ wasn't at the hold line contributed to the accident cause, but...

You basically need to be continuously shopping at renewals. There really isn't a benefit in loyalty anymore. Completely cliche, but I did just switch to GEICO, and they were >15% cheaper (for actually slightly higher coverage), but I know a year from now that could change.

Ultimately, yes of course this is the case. However, the point of accident analysis is to examine all likely contributing factors. The CRJ being ~20-30 feet short of the hold line is a contributing factor. More than once I've heard a ground controller tell someone to "pull up to the line" to...

Our Global Aerospace policy has no mention of the type of medical required, other than "currently valid certificate", which would obviously include a valid medical. We've been using Travers as our broker for nearly 20 years with solid service (no claims, thankfully).

I'm aware of that, but I was also taught in circumstances like this to not unnecessarily leave your tail feathers dangling near a taxiway.

Here's video of the collision. CRJ wasn't pulled up enough. Blame to go around here. Does Endeavor use the same insurance company as Delta?
