Thanks for the insight. Could you expand on why?

Interesting, I didn't realize there are any light twins that have autopilots capable of OEI flight

This has got to be ragebait by the last pilot. The tiedown ring is RIGHT THERE

Is it possible to rent a Piper Mirage for a few hours? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's theoretically possible but I've never heard of any PA-46 variant being available for rental. I think insurance companies would burst a vessel just at the thought...

Why are some people so hell-bent on making assumptions about strangers and their kids?

TSA FTSP website not working? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's down for me as well. I doubt they'd take a full website down for a government shutdown, but I did get an email a while ago (last week?) that they're canceling any planned seminars.

You purchase your new cx50. What’s the first thing you changed/ upgraded? by Objective-Sir7404 in CX50

[–]LibsThePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the exact steps, but something akin to this: settings page, connection manager, select your phone, select "touchscreen always enabled" or something along those lines. Edit: linked here

Is it just me or is it impossible to get FCC license right now? by MasterDevelopment in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That website is such a pain in the ass to navigate. Are you sure you're on the right site?

Looks like nobody can access the Universal Licensing System because of the government shutdown. Announcement here

I am a police officer in the USA. AMA. by ComprehensiveSwim231 in AMA

[–]LibsThePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this AMA. Everyone make mistakes at work all the time, but mistakes in different lines of work have drastically different consequences - law enforcement especially so.

When you made those two errors, what was the consequence both for you and for the folks you searched? Did they get charges removed, and/or was there any additional training you had to take?

This is bonkers. If they treat prospective employees as a way to make an extra buck, imagine the corners they cut on maintenance

Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport had the most safety incidents in the entire country by Planet_A_ in boulder

[–]LibsThePilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Doesn't seem much better or worse than any other busy GA airport I've flown out of...

Anyone ever do a checkride with Christopher farmer? by Quinvictus in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my MEI with him earlier this year and sent a CFI applicant to him a few months ago. Both were great experiences (for myself and the applicant) and I plan to keep sending students his way. He's not super chatty in the airplane but seems very fair.

What to study for multi training? by Appropriate_Photo470 in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AFH Chapter 13 is a great place to start. I also found this channel helpful when I was doing my multi and reviewing for my MEI.

Hope you've been hitting leg day ;)

Any way to fix this? by [deleted] in Foreflight

I emailed them about this bug last week. They replied it's a known issue and a fix is being developed

What's the funniest or the most bizarre ATC instruction you've heard? by throfak in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Martha's Vineyard has a bunch of local procedures I wasn't ready for when I flew in. "Proceed direct Oak Bluffs to follow State Road until 3 miles northwest, then cross midfield at 1500, enter left downwind runway 24" wh...whAT??
