The only applicable FAA regulation I can find is 91.129(i): §91.129 - Operations in Class D airspace. ... (i) Takeoff, landing, taxi clearance. No person may, at any airport with an operating control tower, operate an aircraft on a runway or taxiway, or take off or land an aircraft, unless an...

I'm aware of an airport with an asphalt runway that is parallel to a water landing runway. Untowered and privately owned.

Sounds like a reportable pedestrian deviation, but I'm fairly certain the fellow doing the threatening had no power to fine you - just issue a citation. According to the following document on vehicle/pedestrian deviations the event would have first lead to an investigation and probably nothing...

Ah yes, I just checked the satellite view and see that I had moved out of the movement area for taxi Z as I traveled north to park near the helicopter spots. I was too busy looking for the tie down numbers to notice when I had left the movement area.

"Days of the week with the most midair collisions were Saturday (21.8%) and Sunday (22.4%), with 10.9– 13.5% each day Tuesday through Friday, and 5.8% on Monday." From "Midair Collisions: Limitations of the See-and-Avoid Concept in Civil Aviation" by C. Craig Morris. Fly on a Monday - hardly...

Definitely too fast. CFI should have provided you the V speeds for that C-172 and you should have written them on a cheat-sheet for your knee pad. I think 60 kts for most model years would be acceptable - similar to what you should have been doing in the C-152.

I concur. I've now had some modest practice at higher altitude (and moderately short) grass and dirt airports. The reason the pilot in the video didn't get anywhere near the book performance is because he wasn't following the book technique. I've now seen several videos of pilots taking off...

You really need to ask expert legal advice, not strangers on the Internet. That said, it looks like both parties made mistakes: 1) No written contract. 2) Seller mistakenly believed the airplane was sold simply because he or she had an earnest money deposit. It is not the fault of the...

Got called to jury duty a couple times while living in California. At some point, depending on how the question is asked or how the subject is broached, I have to inform the court that I reserve the right to exercise Jury Nullification. As a result, I got dismissed by the prosecutors in both cases.

A Kangaroo court is an attempt to deceive. Deception is key to the definition, because if there was no attempt to deceive the penalty on the accused would be applied without delay or deliberation. No sham court would take place. So your categorization does not apply to the concept of jury...

Fortunately the Chief Counsel isn't the final judge. They can publish their interpretations to their heart's content - that doesn't make those interpretations regulations or the law.

I've yet to try it on the Internet, but in theory one could use the IPv4 header "loose source route" (LSR) option to possibly accomplish the desired goal. First, one must set the IPv4 source address to whatever IPv4 address you want to appear to be coming from, then insert the IPv4 loose source...

While I've used KCl powder (not for blood pressure reasons, though I believe it lowered my BP a bit) you need to be careful to insure your kidneys haven't been impaired by drinking and smoking. You can no doubt locate net references yourself, here are a few that you may find helpful...

I'm not a lawyer and don't play one on TV, but do agree with most of the above advice. Remember it also costs them to bring legal action, and if the amount is in the $10k range, I imagine they'll try intimidation a few times first. Much cheaper. I'm assuming the mechanic is a party to the...

If a school or instructor claims that a renter is already covered, it would have been silly to pay what appears to be a redundant fee. At my airfield one firm will not even rent unless the renter proves they have adequate renter's insurance. The other firm claims "You are insured in [our]...

There is a flight school at the airfield I fly at that effectively does say "you are covered by our insurance": http://www.takewinginc.com/documents/HowCoveredAreYou.pdf I've met the owner briefly and have heard her reputation in hangar talk - I suspect if anyone tried to smack her over the...

Any reason why, what with modern electronics, the gear up audio isn't simply a voice saying "Danger! Danger Will Robinson - landing gear is up!"

Sued the plane's insurer? How can that yield anything, other than (hopefully a dismissed case) given that: The insurance company has no contractual obligations to her; just with the insured. The insurance company wasn't flying the airplane and did not own the airplane. The insurance company...

Looks like Reuters has a better description of the lawsuit, though I'm still not clear how, as a third party, she has standing to sue about the interpretation of terms in a contract she is not a party to...
