    A REAL 6 seater

    We need a poll. How many here (say, over 45) can comfortably go more than 3 hours? I start getting rigor mortis at about two hours. I know some planes are more comfortable than others, not much relief from chair movement allowing one to stretch, if you don’t have autopilot etc

    DOGE and the FAA

    New hires-have them drive in for a month or whatever while there is still available space. During Covid we had a bunch of google meets which worked ok but not great. I’m sure it really depends on the type of work.

    DOGE and the FAA

    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A091RC1Q027SBEA Lists a much larger number. To be an only a billion the interest rate would be nearly zero. 1% of 36 trillion is 360 billion for the year. Hopefully the fed reserve site is accurate Anyway, relying on remaining the world’s reserve currency...

    DOGE and the FAA

    a friend used to work at gsa, which manages real estate for the government. Large leases take several years before a move can happen. Year to decide what is needed, a year to get a lease, a year for design, and another for construction. So, politics aside, new administration will be out before...

    DOGE and the FAA

    These historical numbers would be quite different if the us dollar was no longer the world’s reserve currency, yes? Borrowing a trillion quarterly for interest expense only may not be sustainable? Printing a trillion dollars because no one will lend it to us might also change things? Other...

    Rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated (my airplane is now a go-to image for crash articles)

    He must have alien technology to be able to repair his plane so quickly! Needs to change his handle to ufoflyer Hey, katamarino, do alien women look like the green goddess in the original Star Trek? You should bring some to the next poa get together

    DOGE and the FAA

    There was an aviation podcast that started around Trump one. Every episode had a Trump aviation issue. Quite a few were related to the airports near his club in Florida but there were others regarding user fees and other things which seemed to show little regard for regular pilots in small...

    Is it normal for a student pilot to feel sad like this?

    I’ve been flying off and on since the 80s Last week I landed 3 times on one flight! I had just seen a video of someone skipping rocks so I’m blaming them. Or maybe someone put springs in my landing gear. Actually, a bee landed on me, yes, that’s it, that’s what happened haha

    Restaurant Feedback

    I’m not understanding why you would ever go back there (maybe there aren’t a million restaurants in the area like the dc area) - if the tables are dirty imagine the kitchen! Anyway, you could send your review to ownership if you can figure out who they are (to bypass local mgmt issues) Or send...

    Semaglutide for weight loss

    From a friend: Ozempic-dropped 30# (10% of body weight) in a few months with no changes in diet (really bad food habits) and exercise (none) Beginning was not great because it was a month or so of light nausea before I was used to it. Basically never hungry for weeks at a time. Stopped...

    Drone strikes bystanders at Boston Celtics event 22 Oct 2024

    were the partiers informed of the Drone Surveillance? It’s interesting that the man who bled profusely (whatever the wording) refused further treatment. Is he a citizen trying to retain his privacy? after that article (video ?) on robot dogs and now this it really seems like Terminator...

    VFR flight plans. Do you file them?

    I always file so I’ll never end up in the newspaper : )

    So I bought a C182 - what now?

    make friends with a pilot who has access to a different plane because you will want to ferry your plane all over (best annual is at airport x, best prop shop is a state away, avionics shop, etc) Paint and interior would be last on my list if I were buying a new plane. Nearly everything else...

    No thread on this powered lift news from the FAA?

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    Some airports have a preference (well, the neighbors have a preference) so I’d cut the guy some slack
