Jase Vanover
Background... newly minted PPL, looking to ease navigation via GPS. I
actually find it cool to navigate via maps, compass and timepiece, but I
realize there is a lot more capability out there.

standard research (including...

The Failure of FAA Diversity by
FAA Civil Rights
I guess the Diversity workforce in the FAA is working great
huh??
I believe the first video mentions the word "Incompetency"
The same word I was chastised for using a few years ago by

Late BFR by
Anonymous coward #673
I fly through an organization that requires a proficiency check ride
every six months. As a result I somehow got it into my head that I

reminded me that a BFR requires an hour of ground instruction, so
technically I have not...

Stupid Question by
Crash Lander
When pilots quote how many hours they have logged, is this a personal log
that is kept, or is every hour you fly entered into a national registry and
formally kept?

prop advanced 15 inches during each revolution at 200 mph.

follows: "At 200 mph and 2,800 rpm, the blades on my three-plade prop

folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had
a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not
attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with
large steel pins that dropped...

33NM on the 090 radial of DVV (the Denver International Vortac).
