    BasicMed expansion?

    I thought one of the requirements, to fly in Canada, is a valid medical certificate. As far as I know, Canada does not recognize BM as a valid medical certificate. It is up to Canada to determine what the requirements are to pilot aircraft in their airspace.

    Beech V35 Midair Breakup

    I know the family well. He practiced with a friend of mine in BR and his younger brother and father are referrals to my practice. Tragic loss. :(

    Flamping... Sort of

    A 172/182 with the rear seats removed should accommodate such.

    Daily Pic

    Jim, at what altitude was this photo taken? I ask because a friend lost his life just south of Franklin in a BE 35 at 1:00 pm cst today. Track appears that he initiated a climb from 7000’ to 9000’ then all went to hell and the aircraft suffered an inflight break-up. Looks like a small TS was...

    Plane down Western AR.

    I determined the same locations/Wx imaging as you but photos and observations from a couple of users on BT report near CAVU. That caught me by surprise.

    My 15 yr plan of owning a home in an airstrip community

    You've never lived in New Orleans. ;) My first home was in a reclaimed swamp. The real estate agent was remarking that I would get a fantastic rate on flood insurance since my lot was only 2.8' below MSL; the adjacent lots were -4.8' MSL. My lot had been raised 2' with pilings and fill. Much...

    What are Currently the Best EFB’s for IPad?

    I can’t imagine any better than ForeFlight for capabilities and responsiveness of the development team to suggestions/new features. I tried Garmin Pilot, which is fine also, but only use it now for DB updates via flightstream. Downside is those two are a bit pricier than other options.

    Starting PPL process - 15 years post-substance abuse

    You have an extremely high probability of getting a HIMS special issue, provided no other major issues such as multi anti-depressive use, documented suicidal ideations etc. Sport pilot may quash some aspirations that would be open with a class 3 and transition to BasicMed. The battle may be...

    Plane down Western AR.

    PA-46 M500 The weather was a bit nasty in north Louisiana/Arkansas last evening. The flight profile looked routine until, what I presume would be, the anticipated TOD. Once descent began the aircraft started at around -1,100 fpm but that decayed, increased, then decayed precipitously. This...
