Is this worthy of a Farmer’s commercial?

For me, and where I fly I guess, getting clearance on the ground is just part 1. Five minutes into the flight it will change to Direct if I'm going away from ATL, and if I stay within it will be changed to vectors. I get it, ATL is a busy airspace, and they need to adjust on the fly. Same...

I’m even lazier. I connected my phone to the audio panel via blue tooth. So somehow everything just works; I just dial when I want to call. Although I have once or twice instinctively pushed the transmit button on the yoke when talking. I’m sure those on freq were annoyed and amused.

Interesting, hadn’t thought about that. I fly from Atlanta, so Southeast, Florida, S Carolina, and then up to KY, Illinois, Indiana, etc. Never been in the North East.

Smart question. I got my instrument rating Jan 2022. So yeah, my only experience is calling ATC for clearances, using ForeFlight, magenta lines, ADSB traffic and weather, going direct, and 95% of approaches being RNAV. No Victor routes, no VOR routes, no VOR approaches, no CDI VOR...

So…… you had the student’s wife in the airplane. Did you video when the husband got the data for the weight and balance calculation? :p

Given everyone has a cell phone an and the ATC number is published, I don’t see a reason for them any more.

I thought that was a joke. Gads - do I weigh that much?

What tug would you all suggest for a 182 with a nose wheel pant? And why are they “pants” and not “skirts”?

Think of the airlines. They regularly fly with aft CG to save fuel.

Ah yes. “Shimmer”. Not my generation. Body spray, etc. The new Old Spice commercials showing a dude lathering himself in a bath tub. I guess it speaks to the target audience of Gen Z, although Old Spice is a Baby Boomer brand. Now, get off my yard and stop listening to your weird music...

Interesting. For a non towered departure, I've always gotten clearance via phone to ATC. Didn't even know there was another option. A long time ago once or twice my CFII tried the radio/phone system which I believed involve clicking the mike a few times (or something like that), which...

Hah. I was the TV antanae rotor. I’d go outside, twist the tower, go back in and check, rinse and repeat.

Green stamps, and yellow stamps. Free drinking glass in a box of powdered laundry detergent.

“Eat everything I put on your plate, because there are people starving in China.” As a 7 year old, I did the right thing and said “In that case then I’ll stop eating and send them this food”. Mom was not impressed.

OK - adjusted donation “price”. Come on someone - feed a hungry family for Thanksgiving!

To the OP Do not talk to, or even speak the name of an AME out loud. Especially three times - you’ll open the gates of the FAA. Even if the AME does something simple as out of curtesy submit some medial records for you, the FAA will treat that as an application and you’re stuck. Get your...

I’ve had floaters since childhood. If it’s new you mind will see it because it’s new and different. Gilbert is spot on. After a while - and if you just stop thinking about it - you won’t notice them anymore. Yes, you won’t see them. The brain does a lot of image processing from the...

What’s hilarious is putting a rotary phone in front of a 25 year old. Dad used to buy a gallon of white gas to use in the Colman camping stove. Worked fine and no one died. Do people use toll free 800 numbers anymore?
