    So many Federal prisoners now they need their own airplane

    They "contract" planes all the time. I see them frequently out in Midland.

    Outstanding story of an unusual introduction to GA flying and overcoming fear

    The week I chose an instructor, there was a fatal crash that I witnessed. It's certainly a sobering way to start flying.

    Why didn't Amelia, Jerrie Mock, and Lindbergh use floatplanes?

    That's pretty cool to see!

    Factors Killing GA

    I don't think it's cost, I don't think it's regulations, although I think those things contribute. I think it's general morality, and... screens / virtual realities / facades. Too many people are living extremely shallow lives and miserable, too. There's a certain amount of effort and...

    Starship Flight Test Poll

    Thanks, lol. I was hoping I was wrong.

    Close “loopholes” for part 91 revenue operations

    We do aerial photography. Technically, even though one of us is a pilot, and we both work for the same company, the FAA would view one of us as a "passenger" for the purposes of flight since the aircraft we fly only requires one pilot. Closing this kind of so-called "loophole" would...

    Full Power Run-up?

    Full power? Most POH's don't really have you go full power. In the Cardinal, it's 1800 RPM, NOT full power.

    Aero Adventure Aventura II, N32856: October 17, 2022

    This could be a situation where loss of power on a high-center of thrust aircraft leads to a stall... not saying I know anything for sure.

    Uh, how many have they stalled since then???

    Are high vs low wing preferences generic or colored by specific designs?

    This is like wishing all the world was all boys or all girls...

    Flying pictures worth sharing.

    Dallas isn't terribly scenic, but here's Fair Park with the State Fair of Texas opening this weekend.

    Will an airplane engine failure on takeoff cause an aerodynamic stall?

    But your sample size is too small.

    Will an airplane engine failure on takeoff cause an aerodynamic stall?

    This is not going to have a one-size fits-all answer, but I believe that there ARE indeed aircraft where the loss of engine thrust can lead to a stall. I can think, for instance, of a pusher aircraft, where if you reduce power suddenly, the loss of a high-centerline pusher engine might indeed...

    WSJ article on Spin Training

    I don't even think it's so much "fear of the unknown" but being initially overwhelmed if you inadvertently get into something you don't recognize. I'll say that during my CFI spin training, the first spin we did, I was definitely temporarily disoriented during the first spin. If that happens the...
