Different from flying schools, you should look into an FAA "training center", defined as: "FAA-approved training centers are certificated under 14 CFR part 142.

Last night I went out to CRQ to do my 90 day 3 night takeoffs and landings ritual. After the first trip around the pattern I was told that they were not allowing any pattern work. When I called the tower on the phone I got the following explanation: The FAA agreed upon minimum staffing level for...

A few questions on ATC: 1. If I am told to "depart XYZ heading 150" while IFR, and the last heading given to me by ATC does not quite take me to an intercept of the XYZ VOR, should I turn to intercept the VOR? Should I wait for ATC to tell me to turn directly towards the VOR? Should I turn...

I was thinking of buying a plane to fly regularly between SMO (Santa Monica) and MYF (Montgomery Airport, near San Diego), for instance a Diamond DA20-A1, which can go about 104 knots. However, the flight path includes both Pendleton and LAX (perhaps others), which presumably could cause delays....

I asked my instructor on the weekend what a pilot is expected to do, should he come across a downed plane, or was in the vicinity on another plane that was going down, or making a forced landing. He said that you should tune to the relevant ATC frequency, and inform them of what has/is...

It would be nice if Airnav had a space for flying clubs based at the airport. Since a flying club is non-commercial, it would make sense that it not be a paid advertising space, but a courtesy. Is this something you folks think would be useful? Is the airnav denizen still around? Jose --...

As a physician I was curious if Fossett and his team had any concerns about "the economy class syndrome", ie-deep venous thrombosis...? I suppose they could have given him a shot of Lovenox or some other low molecular weight heparin. Or not. Ryan Wubben Madison, WI

Not at all common in the 182, Mike. 46 pounds of fuel? 8 gallons for taxi? I think not. Jim "Mike Rapoport" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:
