    Special VFR Class C/D when A/P is reporting VFR

    Not particularly germane to your question, but this isn't true. It's very common to get Special VFR clearances in Class E. When operating out of an uncontrolled airport within a Class E surface area, that's the only legal way to get out without an IFR clearance if the weather is below Basic...

    Question about DUI's

    I don't think anything is going to happen in 3 weeks. Not to say give up, but what I know ain't good. Guy at my airline apparently blew over a .15. It was his first, so he was thinking he's get a pass. No way. He was out for almost a full year. He has to abstain, 100% for some period of...

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    ...down, but, if you fly a Citabria parallel to the landing surface, holding it airborne as long as it can possibly stay airborne, the tailwheel *will* be much lower than the mains when the wing finally stops producing lift. Guaranteed. I own one, have spent numerous afternoons playing...

    How do you file a complaint for a controller error?

    :laugh: Don't know a thing about ERJ drift downs. He says at his weight and temp, his charts would put him below 16800. I have no basis for questioning that.

    How do you file a complaint for a controller error?

    Bull$hit. He was exactly right. Here's what the AIM has to say about the situation: AIM 4-4-1a. A clearance issued by ATC is predicated on known traffic and known physical airport conditions. An ATC clearance means an authorization by ATC, for the purpose of preventing collision between...

    Recommended techniques on flying a tail dragger

    Certainly, but a perfect simultaneous 3 point in a Citabria with normal length gear legs is not stalled. You do a full stall landing, the tailwheel *will* touch well before the mains.

    Ground run required to slow to a survivable speed...

    Something like that would have to be based in some pretty broad assumptions about how quickly the plane decelerates and how many G's are survivable. It would be simplifying the dynamics and survivability factors involved to a point that the result wold be fairly meaningless.

    Instrument Procedure Question

    That's quite a tenuous limb you crawled out on there. I don't see anything in the original pose which suggests that he a) isn't instrument rated, b) Doesn't understand the purpose of a racetrack pattern on an IAP.

    Instrument Procedure Question

    So, tell me, is there anything which would legally prevent you from turning to your 45 degree out bound leg on procedure turn immediately after passing the IAF, and only flying 45 seconds out bound at a 45 instead of a minute? I'll save you some trouble, answer is no. So given that the...

    roller board wheel fix

    True dat. May seem like stating the obvious, but apparently it isn't obvious to some, but it's roll-aboard because you roll it aboard. It ain't a board so "rollerboard" is nonsensical

    Building SE time and skipping COMM SE checkride for COMM ME checkride

    Faulty understanding. There are operations which don't require an *operating* certificate (121,125,135 certificates) But there are no operations where you can be employed as a pilot without a commercial *pilot* certificate. That's kinda *the* important distinction between an private...

    For travelers on packed planes, 'fight for the overheads' is on

    QFT, I travel a fair amount on tickets, when I travel I generally have a suitcase (legal carry-on size) that I check, because I've found that the hassle of claiming a bag is less than the hassle of fighting for overhead bin space, and a pretty small bag that contains my lap top and few other...

    US Air firing pilot who's gun discharged

    Do you know this for a fact? Agreed that the gun was not on his hip when it discharged, but, if I understand correctly, you have to take the gun off, when you go to the restroom, and you have to take it off before you unass the airplane at the gate. And each time you thread the padlock...

    US Air firing pilot who's gun discharged

    Did you happen to watch the video? If not, do so and you'll see how the required procedure is an accident waiting to happen. Who in the He11 came up with the idea of threading the shackle of a padlock through the trigger guard, without being able to see where the trigger was? Granted, he...

    US Air firing pilot who's gun discharged

    You're going to have to explain in detail the difference between an "accidental" discharge and an "inadvertent" discharge and why exactly you think the difference is important, because it certainly seems to me like a meaningless semantic quibble with no real merit. But I'm always willing to learn.

    US Air firing pilot who's gun discharged

    Well, at first my thinking was, really tough to excuse an accidental discharge. Then I watched the video. YBSM!, they make you run the shackle of a padlock through the trigger guard? Of a loaded gun? a loaded gun with no safety? while it's in a holster and you can't see the trigger...

    Outrageous

    It's intersting to note that this *is* a countersuit. According to the article the helicopter operator and the owner sued Altman's estate first.
