    • Europe could no longer recognize FAA certificates for pilots

    My understanding is that the regulations are intended to stop European pilots from going outside the EU to get their training. It appears to have a few nasty side-effects.

    • Europe could no longer recognize FAA certificates for pilots

    I did not know that. Is the cost still comparable to getting a US certificate?

    windows 7

    Must be the default "theme" your machine was set up with, since my new Windows 7 laptop doesn't make sounds on mouse selects. To change the sound associated with mouse selects, place the mouse anywhere over the desktop and right-click to bring up a floating menu. There should be a "Personalize"...

    witch gps add on for ipad

    You'll want the one that has a mount available for attaching it to the broomstick. Sectional updates with geo-referenced locations of covens and children to nab likely require an annual fee. I have the Dual Electronics XGPS150; works great in a C-172. I would recommend it in an airplane; no...

    will Space X land rocket cells today?

    They tried it that way. Didn't work. Extracted the following from this article from 2001: http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2011/09/falcon-rockets-to-land-on-thei.html"SpaceX's original concept for first-stage recovery and reuse didn't work and apparently is being abandoned...

    will your VOR become obsolete

    I probably skimmed too fast, so it wasn't clear how VOR would be retained for only the "core 30" airports yet also continue to provide backup to GPS for enroute navigation.

    will your VOR become obsolete

    Knock out the satellites or knock out the receivers near the nuke? I can see how the latter could be done with one nuke, but t'would be one powerful nuke to knock out the satellites below the horizon of this air burst. (The satellites are ~12,000 miles AGL.)

    what is a courtesy car?

    This is the one at my air field: Having never needed it, I did not realize (until now) that you have to fill out and sign an agreement to use it: http://www.ci.creswell.or.us/sites/default/files/file/Airport Courtesy Car Agreement 8-10.pdf Background on usage...

    what would you change ?

    While it appears pretty, it seems to be an inefficient use of panel space. The layout looks passable for a tandem seating arrangment but makes no sense for a side-by-side.

    when do you typically solo?

    I wasn't nervous either. But I had practice on dealing with soloing: I had 12.7 hours and 41 landings during training in a glider. I had started training in the middle of June that year and by the end of September my CFIG and I agreed I was ready to solo the next weekend. But she had to go on a...
