Flight Instructors Around the World
So as it turns out, everyone always answers to someone. Many of us have had the unhappy flight instructor flight experience. But flight instructors often have to answer to schools. And, well, schools have to answer to people, too. This little spoof puts all of that in perspective from an international point of view. The ...
Visual Scanning
Visual Scanning is very important to keep yourself from being involved in a midair collision. The FAA talks about it, but it is a difficult thing to illustrate. But luckily there is a way to dramatically show how your eyes can play tricks on you so that you can lose sight of (or never find ...
FAA Safety Forums at Sun ‘n Fun
When making the trip to Sun ‘n Fun, the last thing a lot of pilots think about is attending safety seminars or even regular forums. After all, there is so much else to do there at the event that sitting still for any length of time seems somehow wrong. However, there are a lot of ...
Airport on Lockdown
Airport boards are often filled with people whom don’t fly. Worse, those same people don’t have any kind of financial stake in the success of the airport or the businesses. They may be volunteers or they may be paid some. Either way, it is the rare airport board member that will question the FAA, the ...

The FAA’s New Effort at Adding User Fees. This Time Through Digital Charts
The FAA is something of a victim of their own success and to undo their victim status, they may also undo their success. The success has been the acceptance and use of their digital charts. Many pilots are opting to go with the digital product in their cockpits and are foregoing the purchase of paper ...
Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp (6/7/11)
The FAA's aircraft re-registration is continuing along, although it is not always as smooth a process as everyone hoped. There are certain pitfalls in the process and Jim Sweeney joins us to talk about those bureaucratic traps and how to at least try to avoid them.
Jason Blair, National Association of Flight Instructors (5/24/11)
Big news in the training community has been the radical changes being made to the knowledge tests by the FAA. This has created an environment where students, instructors, and training support companies are wondering how to prepare students for the test. One answer is 'learn everything;' others believe that a focus on critical areas is more important and that questions shouldn't be wasted on relatively trivial items. Jason Blair has been in meetings with the FAA people responsible for the tests and gives us an update on what people can expect from the tests.
