New ASF video out... Please... just don't act like this... ever... sigh...

Not great info on what was changed and no single PDF link for the entire thing, have to download individual chapters. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/aviation_instructors_handbook/

I’ve been avoiding this update but friends are asking and I suppose it’s time. My symptoms from my spinal cord/immune system damage haven’t stabilized and have gotten worse. Currently the right hand is pretty much a fancy claw. Fingers don’t behave for fine motor skills. Atrophy has taken a...

“Men of few words are the best men.” - Henry V But since I don’t meet that description... The alternate is more accurate... “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” - Macbeth And to you all... “Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”...

Haven’t posted here in a long time for ... reasons... but realized there’s a few friends here who don’t do Facebook or any of the other places I hang out. This is the shortest version of this I can manage. Been posting some longer stuff on FB once I realized there was little concern about even...

The next time a cop tells me their job is really dangerous... (Source: US Bureau of Labor and Statistics 2013) “Yeah? I’m at number three on the list.” The More You Know. Hahaha.

@Greg Bockleman moves to Guam... This... http://news.sky.com/story/north-korea-carefully-examining-plan-to-strike-guam-with-missiles-10980468 It's all your fault, GB! I knew it! :) P.S. Hey seriously, do us a favor and don't get blown up by that retard, mmm-Kay?

"Climate changes [sic] is getting so bad, researchers at Columbia University foresee 30 percent of flights being unable to take off by 2050." ROFLMAO. http://jalopnik.com/climate-change-will-ruin-air-travel-1797550079

eLORAN passed the House in the DHS budget due to GPS jamming concerns. We'll see if it survives the Senate. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...ke-global-return-as-gps-backup-because-cyber/

I'm fascinated by good ones. This one isn't great, but it cracked me up. Ozzy + Earth, Wind, and Fire. Y'all have any mashup faves?

I don't see a thread yet. Missing aircraft over the Java Sea. Ugh. Just saw some babble on CNN World in the hotel room.

Alright I know this is a friggin' stupid post but... My left thumb hurts. Bottom joint/knuckle. Been going on for weeks. Annoying. Joint is double-jointed/always been really loose. Can sit here and pop it in and out easily using the thumb muscles and nothing else. Always have. But if I use...

I can't find the thread with the "GPS Doesn't Fail" garbage this morning, but just thought I'd pass this along for posterity... Note the length of time and the area affected. https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2014/Sep/WSMR_14-09_GPS_Flight_Advisory.pdf We get one of these notices...

It makes me hate you. Seriously. THIS is one of the things that keeps me coming back to PoA and even the SZ. People here for the most part speak their minds. I don't always AGREE with them but at least they're not pansies who make every damn sentence they say into a question. And those...

Forwarded to me by a non-social network non-forum aviation buddy. Figured it would spark some interesting discussion amongst the amateur lawyers here on PoA. Do Part 91 pilots have to submit to a "Ramp Check" beyond showing Pilot Certificate, Medical, and Photp ID? This guy says not...

This'll get a conversation going. 🍿 (It's a year or so old. I did search the archives and didn't see it but might be a re-post...)

Just remember kids... LockMart "Filed more than 1 million flight plans for aviation pilots." As compared to that other kind... the non-aviation pilots. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/ne...2/may/isgs-flight-services-contract-0518.html :)

From my County... http://www.arapahoevotes.com/acceptable-forms-of-identification/ Your green piece of flyboy plastic with no identifiable information on it is considered voter ID here. Didn't know this until today. I'm tempted to not mail in my ballot and show up with a pilot's license...

Had a friend say he'd gotten a letter from FAA that he had to re-test for his pilot certificate under this blanket notice by the Las Vegas FSDO... http://fsims.faa.gov/PICDetail.aspx?docId=F50406D22D1C2B6E86257A44004E86B2 Googling around shows this recent problem and a problem back in 2007...

Your daily "WTF?"... The National Weather Service bought 16,000 rounds of 40 caliber hollow point ammo. DHS made a similar purchase earlier. http://www.infowars.com/national-weather-service-follows-dhs-in-huge-ammo-purchase/ You paid for it. Nobody knows why. Nifty.
