Hey, I'm you basic 200hr PPL-ASEL and a friend of mine has asked me to donate a sightseeing flight to her charity's auction. Four questions: First, since I'm not being reimbursed for the flight, I don't even think this fall under 61.113(d). It's basically just me taking up a stranger where, no...

It is not necessary for them to hear the radio transmissions you make, although, it would be nice (if...

I'm interested in recommendations for an general aviation airport in the Sealy, Texas area. I'd prefer reasonable fuel prices and low or no fees. I'll be flying there this Thursday to attend a funer... errr... wedding, :') and staying until Sunday. Airports within 20 miles or so of Sealy...

From the Aero-News email letter this morning: Shortly after 1100 Monday morning, a lone Mooney M20E allegedly strayed into the Washington ADIZ, causing a pretty extensive security alert -- including the launching of two F-16s and a bit of excitement at the White House... even though the President...

"Never cross control!!!" "Keep that ball centered!" "Never use more than 20 degrees bank!" "Too high on final - go around. Never slip unless its an emergency landing." These are things that were hammered in my head by my numerous CFIs during pattern training as a student pilot. Now that I have my...

I ran into an old client today and we stumbled on to the flying topic. Turns out he got his PP a couple years ago and bought a plane. He said with a completely straight face that he's thinking of getting an instrument rating because he "flies in IMC a lot." He does OK but would like to be able to...
