    TFRs are a JOKE!

    I agree with both Flylo AND Avbug!!! TFR's are not a joke - they are a specific regulation found in our set of aviation rules provided to protect people inside the "temporary" area. It is incumbent (obligatory) upon me to read the NOTAMS and stay out of this area. HOWEVER, the new TSA/HSA/FAA...

    How to go about training?

    Do you have zero time? You haven't flown a plane and you don't have a medical? I'm just risk averse. Go out and see if you like flying. You may get violently airsick, you may have a medical condition you don't know about? Are you going to just go out and give somebody $40-$50K of your...

    Aircraft radio station license?

    Oh Canada! Treaty we signed with them in 1952 states that a portable radio station must have a license and the operator must have a radio telephone operator's permit. In Canada, I believe they still have to take a test. OK alphabet - Adam , Baker, Charlie, David.....no that's not right...

    Aircraft radio station license?

    That is correct. ARROW (with radio license) changed to AROW (missing R) You need a Radio Station License for international travel (yes, even Canada) and that referes both to the station and the individual operators permit. If you want a station license, you can apply via the FCC. They will...

    Teaching weight and balance

    BrianJohn You said "the big ride" - do you mean the CFIA ride that YOU are taking? If yes, I think someone said KISS rule. Do it. If this is your initial CFI ride, do it by the book. 1, 2, 3. Thank you sir, Done. W&B is not the place to show your creative side to an FAA inspector or...

    How exactly does an NDB work?

    I'll agree with Bobby....... Some day we'll go to a triple red security threat and the Homeland Security folk (motto: " the sky is falling, the sky is falling") will enact the DOD GPS non-selective super-duper algorithm scramble. Then they will shut the power off in the AFSS's which in turn...

    Propeller System Lesson Plan - First Try

    Cookmg - 1.) Yes, determine your audience (student) a.) Abner, a high school student from Podunk has been flying Cubs and C-152's and wants a check out in the mighty Cutlass. b.) April, a PHD in mechanical engineering has been flying a 2003 C-172-S for all her training and wants complex...

    Question on Fronts

    Chris, I'm going to make an assumption that this is the very same question one very smart student asked of me. He also brought me a weather map and asked the same question. His "observation" was that bad weather and fronts were shown on the map as Low Pressure systems with cold and warm...

    91.169

    Dimestore lawyering - OK I'll agree with Booker. The authors of Part 91 and Part 97 probably never had a conversation. Ergo, Joe's Grass Strip is perfectly legal (under VFR conditions). Joe's then requests and receives a Far Part 97 GPS approach - this puts an "NA" - not authorized - ON THE...

    expired foreign license

    61.41 gives blessing to training received from an ICAO authorized instructor. You have the 3 hours in 60 days as required by 61.39 and 61.109(a)(4) on top of anything that you deem necessary as the student's primary instructor. You endorse three things via 61.39. - training for the practical...

    91.169

    I was going to step in earlier, but didn't. Throw some of the regs away for a second and think this out. I'm flying from some airport to Point "A" with an alternate of airport "B". 1.) If Point "A" is CAVU, no brainer and no need for an alternate. Filing an alternate falls into the Part 1...

    improper use of carb heat in IMC?

    Cointyro: You just love this, don't you. Allright I'm going to show my age and my butt all in one post. My age because I'm going to admit that I owned a 1961 Plymouth Valiant with the old slant six engine. Now Chysler made one heck of a little car that drove like a tank. You had enough room...

    improper use of carb heat in IMC?

    Everybody is probably dancing on the head of the pin because of the weird science of carb icing. I've had carb icing on a beautiful sunny 90F day, 45F days (lots) and yet been absolutely free of carb ice in clouds at 33F. You can get it anywhere! Now you can be sensible. 45F wet and dreary...

    Training Q

    "perplexed and somewhat frustrated" Wait till you're "jaded and completely frustrated"! Seriously, though, set your goal and set your timeframe. Even though CHQ and maybe MESA are hiring, look at this board. It's going to be 5, 6 maybe 8 years before we see the next upturn in the industry...

    ACA new RJs?

    And just to qualify....the 4 new RJ's. There were 4 RJ's in the production pipeline for ACA as part of our previous delivery agreement. When the UAL thing went South, ACA told Bombardier no more planes and that we couldn't secure financing. There was a lot of back room negotiating in which I...

    Windmilling?

    Propeller is an airfoil (or better thinking a set of tiny airfoils all set at different angles due to propeller twist). Airfoils do their work through lift and drag. i.e. lifting force and drag force (either induced or form/surface drag). As said above everything else is basic aerodynamics...

    NDB/RNAV approach

    Yeah, that's where I thought you were going - and of course the DE is just going to switch the RNAV unit off so you have to fly the ugly needle on the ADF or he's going to let you hang yourself on a service volume issue (busted). Cruel guy - partial panel NDB for a checkride? I can see giving...

    Anyone use the IFR checkmate?

    Is on the same page as the cloud sight level in Sporty's? Hmmm. IFR procedures checklist: Aviate Navigate Communicate Time, Turn, Twist, Talk, Throttle WX Missed Approach Altitudes Radios Time Headings Airspeeds Did I forget something?

    Piper Arrow II

    Also, you stated: "only have a few hrs in this make and model" You don't have any info in your profile - if you are a Cessna driver converting to Piper for the first time (i.e first time really going to be on your own and acting real PIC), then you need to take the typical cautions. #1 - Fuel...
