These look so fun.

Why can’t I think of a movie where the hero uses a small GA aircraft to save the day?

Airwolfiness (Noun) - resemblance of an aircraft or maneuver to that of the original Airwolf TV show…

We need a term other than “cross country” for flights with a landing over 50NM away. I remember the disappointment in the voices of non-pilot friends when I told them my solo XC flight only took me to a nearby town and not the other coast of the country.

I’ve learned a lot about flying from Twitter. More accurately, I learned a lot about flying from double-checking the correctness of something I was about to post, realizing I was wrong initially, and going down a rabbit hole to figure it all out… 🛩

Sometimes 3,000' above the snow feels like flying over another planet.

In the mood for an interesting IFR rabbit hole? Determine how the words “RNP APCH.” on an approach plate apply to your aircraft. Hint: AC 90-119 *may* help…

I stay on Twitter for content like this.

Flight instruction should include some basic guidance and practice on how to safely leave an aircraft overnight at an unfamiliar field.

Has anyone tried one of the kits for converting a Bose consumer noise-cancelling headset (like the QuietComfort 35) for aviation use? This is especially tempting for passenger usage, since 100% reliability isn’t as critical there…

Just curious - who thinks LPV approaches should be considered precision approaches with regard to IFR alternate minimums?

Imagine flying across an ocean on 1919 technology. smithsonianmag.com/air-space-maga…

Pilots who know how to fix their own airplanes are pretty cool.

The benefits of careful fuel planning (and comparing predicted to actual time en route at waypoints) become clear once the length of your trips start to approach (or exceed) the fuel range of your aircraft. 🛩

Who’s flown a VCOA (Visual Climb Over Airport) departure? aopa.org/news-and-media…

I just realized that different CDIs/HSIs have a different number of dots between an on-course indication and a full-scale deflection, so there is no standard “one dot deflection” or “two dot deflection” corresponding to the same distance/angle off course. 🤯

IFR pilots, what’s your favorite trick for making sure you’re not scrolling around to double-check the DA/MDA when your attention should be on the CDI and glideslope? ForeFlight annotations on the plate? Sticky notes on the panel?

Flying IFR is great, but sometimes it’s all about the views.

Cool.

After a few more hours of flying small airplanes, I’m convinced that the true measure of airmanship is how quickly and safely you can land at a suitable airport after a passenger says “I need to go to the bathroom” while at cruise (especially in IMC).
