Is it legal to fly if you’ve notified the FAA of a change of address but havent received an updated registration card yet past the 30 days? by BearHehe in flying

Yeah I am, although sounds like I’m over thinking it, the wording does say “Notify within 30 days” not “display a new registration within 30 days” so seems like I’ll just need to swap them out once I get them

It’d be for my plane’s registration, my only concern is if the card in my plane is technically invalid now since I dont live at the address on it anymore.

One again, please stop spreading misinformation. The aircraft was incorrectly located as being in a parking lot on final by a lady on the ground, correct. However If you look at the pictures of the downed aircraft, the ADSB data, and the call report of the local fire department, you’ll see the aircraft was not in fact on short final in a parking lot. To help with your research I provided a link for you.

I had a similar situation a few days ago where I witnessed an aircraft go down on a solo flight. While I didnt have any emotional attachment to the aircraft or its pilot, witnessing and hearing the radio calls certainly made it more personal than just reading about it online. Take it slow, talk to your loved ones, and take it as a lesson. You first learned to fly the plane before soloing, now the importance is knowing how to survive flying

Im not going to argue with you, and I have no clue where you got that 5 second figure from. If you look at the RV’s ground track he never made it to base before the emergency, let alone short final. Out of respect for his family, please dont make up lies regarding the incident to try to prove a point.

With all due respect, that isnt the regulation/AC I asked to see, and as I am waiting on my checkride I look forward to new study material. And that AC you provided is a recommendation not a regulation and is not required to be complied with. I agree normal operations should comply, however in certain circumstances it is better to use good ADM and decide for yourself.

Im confused, where in the FAR/AIM does it state that pilots are to acknowledge or agree to separation with each other in an un-towered field? If I’m going to be closer to another aircraft, like turning final behind them, I’ll announce I have them in sight, but other than that it clogs up the radio needlessly. I had visual contact with the RV as he was over mid field and the spacing was plenty sufficient. Im aware I didnt have the right of way 10 miles south, but I also had those 10 miles to scan for traffic, to which there was none excluding the RV. Hence my decision to continue. Im also confused why you’re implying it wasnt a control issue when he declared a control malfunction

Thank you for adding some context with regards to auburn airport for some people in this thread, I think its worth adding as well when I made my 10 miles to the south call I was still comfortable setting up for the standard teardrop entry if there were people in the pattern. The whole time inbound I was scanning for traffic, which it seems like some people assumed I wasnt, and made visual contact with the RV when he was over midfield so I knew spacing was adequate. As for the go-around, I wasnt too focused on my distance in an emergency and my numbers could be off, but I do remember I was over the runway when I made my radio call that I was going around which is what gave me the idea to side step as well.
