  1. I am aware of the restrictions on basic medical. I own a turbo charged plane myself. As a 55yr old male there is zero chance I would ever do class 3 again. If the doc raises the issue the OP states, I go to another doctor and get a medical. If you do what the OP does now you at best get an SI. I see no point in a GA pilot getting a 3rd class or better anymore aside from the first one which you need. High risk of never flying again to go to Canada with 6 people at FL190.
  2. Thus basic med. I dream of flying my plane to Mars, but mostly I just fly it to cheeseburgers.
  3. For 99% it is Canada, Mexico, and Bahamas with the latter being the largest and they accept basic med.
  4. I am more curious as to why anyone wouldn’t be flying under basic med.
  5. This, zero reason to get anything else.
  6. I had mine pop open once at the hold short line. I debated for about 10 seconds on whether to send the boy out of the copilot seat to close it, hit the parking brake and close it, or shut down and close it. I chose the latter. I do though have the fly around the pattern with your baggage door open medal.
  7. Just iron out the wrinkles and that is good for another 1000hrs.
  8. You have achieved 45yrs ago that which can barely be achieved with a 1.15 ratio, bravo seriously you should do this professionally.
  9. My 1987 FZR1000 which was a monster and it was 11.2 with a pro driving, I was a good second slower. The Ducati Panigale is low 9’s. What were you running to get 9.2 for a 77?
  10. Seems to me there is a much stronger case to take Irene’s car than the airplane. At minimum why not take both. I will stand by there is something more to the story than the internet provides, my tinfoil hat never fails me.
  11. You had me at blonde and debrief.
  12. The pilot didn’t but the beer, never flew to the dry city, etc. I wasn’t asking a question I was making the point it seems fishy. The two individuals who apparently purchased the beer, had apparently intent to bring it to the dry town, etc. received no charges.
  13. Seems to me Helene and Irene are the perpetrators here and yet received no charges. So no it doesn’t really clear it up.
  14. This is true in a lot of reference books as well. It’s a good tool. In the example we are discussing here it read court transcripts, newspapers, etc. It couldn’t determine the facts and was clear about it, I couldn’t draw conclusions from the feedback it presented either. Caveat emptor applies just as much now as it did two thousand years ago. AI though is a wildly powerful tool and we use it for analytics heavily in my field these days, its ability to sift data and give guidance is nothing short of magical.
  15. ChatGPT is a powerful tool, you should learn how to leverage it.
  16. I made the impossible turn once with Penny Benjamin, my RIO got a great Polaroid of it.
  17. I guess my question is how do you prove intent and when is intent a crime and when is it not. The whole story seems really fishy and I tried a million different ways to get ChatGPT to figure it out but nothing concrete.
  18. If it weren’t for these spammers I would never have learned how to change my flight on Ethiopian Airways.
  19. What is interesting to me is he never smuggled the beer. They were watching for planes smuggling booze in Fairbanks which is where they executed the search warrant. I can’t determine how they got the warrant. In any case putting on cases of beer with maybe the intent to fly them to a dry county isn’t a crime. Whole thing seems fishy but can’t determine more on the internet but there has to be more.
  20. I dumped it into a 2009 Outback filled with sludge in @2021. It was leaking a bit of oil and thus I never changed it over the course of 4-5 yrs and maybe 20K miles. Driving from ORD to ATL it blew all the crap out and the car leaked like a sieve because of all the sludge being gone. Mechanic put some gaskets and other junk in, said it was a really clean looking motor. Still running though I try to change the oil at least once a year now (it’s down to maybe 1k miles a year now). Testament to Subaru and Seafoam in my book. YMMV.
  21. Seafoam is better
  22. You joined July 12th before you bought the plane and asked about insurance. My best advice is ask before in future, not after. I have been flying and owning since 1988, there is nothing I do even today without consulting with folks be it here, the airport, mechanics I have made relationships with over the years. I would look at a Saavy membership.
  23. Reproduction in any manor (sic) without the written express permission of the author is prohibited.
  24. I never go full flaps until committed to land and often I never go full flaps. Half flaps is take off configuration for a F. In a go around I am configured for maximum performance and than it is positive rate, gear, than flaps.
  25. I just follow the line on the iPad but I can’t get it to turn green?
