Probably for the same reason they did nothing to help the mother and daughter - either didn't care or piss poor decision making. The guy who eventually exchanged seats with the daughter reminds me of a flight I took several years ago. I was flying alone for work in an aisle seat on the left...

Since the EAA and AOPA have been backing it and the FAA has applied several years of effort into it, I'm guessing some variation of it has a better than even chance of being approved. Allegedly it is a consequence of the "FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018". Possibly under "Subtitle B--Aircraft...

It looks like that the proposed regulation changes in MOSAIC would pretty much eliminate the need for medicals for most of the flying done by pilots. A sport licensed pilot, having only a driver's license and self-certifying with respect to medical fitness, would be able to fly most common...

Three weeks ago my wife and I visited northern New Mexico. We visited Taos, Santa Fe, and Los Alamos. In the latter we visited several Manhattan Project sites and related museums. There I learned that a Hollywood movie called Oppenheimer would be coming out soon. Didn't pay much attention...

After reviewing the NPRM and giving it some thought, I don't think these changes will accomplish anything useful beyond letting sport pilots fly legacy airplanes like Cessna 172s and its competitors. The proposed rules don't seem to have any impact on the cost of new aircraft either. That's...

Story here: https://bydanjohnson.com/mosaic-news-faa-running-ahead-of-schedule-unbelievable-proof-here-now/ It's a big deal! Edit to add that according to the copy of the NPRM on Dan Johnson's web site the actual NPRM will be published by the FAA on July 24 - during Oshkosh. The FAA will no...

I believe this PDF is the entirety of the 1926 regs: https://ia800904.us.archive.org/12/items/1926USDeptOfCommerceAirCommerceRegulations/1926%20-%20US%20Dept%20of%20Commerce%20-%20Air%20Commerce%20Regulations%20.pdf

Medical requirements appear in the 1927 regs (see pages 29 and on): Air Commerce Regulations Effective December 31, 1926 But those regs appear to have been developed from the Air Commerce Act of 1926. As far as I can tell, prior to that act civil aeronautics was self-regulated. Edit to add that...

Nice photos! However, even without struts the wings get into the pictures. I think you need a plane that doesn't have those things. ;)

The size of the fine seems rather small - perhaps low enough that OSHA hoped the airline wouldn't find it worth contesting? Have no idea if it would affect the success of any civil wrongful death lawsuit by the family.

Perhaps it is meant for CFIs who want to build time toward airline requirements. Just need any student who may also be a CFI who wants to build time, so one is in training while one acts as instructor. Dubious, but that is all I can think of. Somebody asked a question about that scenario here...

I plugged in N611VG into https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ and overlayed the IFR High Route chart and found that the plane started its turn at the SARDI intersection (you'll need to manually switch the map to IFR Enroute High mode)...

Well, that turned political pretty quickly:

One factor is the travel time to my brother's house in Arden Hills by car. Anoka is 9 minutes while Crystal is 17 minutes. Downtown St. Paul airport is 15 minutes.

I'll look into it.

It is the same amount of time as my last visit. I'll meet up with two brothers and a college buddy of my oldest brother in Arden hills, MN and we drive to Oshkosh starting early on Tuesday (get in shortly before noon) and drive back on Thursday morning. We stay at Ripon College. Previously I...

I plan to be there Tuesday (25th) and Wednesday (26th).

You have different tastes, not bad tastes.
