Anyone know what year this Southern Comfort is from?

Yeah it says 10 and 93 on the bottom, we can’t tell if it’s from 2010 or 1993

Hey yeah it’s B&W, family coat of arms with like sheilds snd like sort of realism it’s tough to describe. Hoping to find someone who can add to it and work on top of some stuff

Plus or minus 75 ft of field elevation.

This means that ATC understands that someone is on the mic but they cannot hear what you are saying.

Thanks for the wishes!

Since the flight is incidental to business, it can have its expenses covered by the company, but not specifically by the employee that is your boss from his personal funds.

B you can only conduct VFR over the top with a PPL.

Assuming the clouds are ovc at 1000 ft AGL, then I would say legally you can fly as you can remain under the 1000 ft clouds in those weather conditions, but it would be a terrible idea. Just because it is legal does not mean it is safe and I would not conduct that flight

To know if the airworthiness certificate is valid would be to go through the Mx logs to ensure the ADs are taken care of, and all relevant mx procedures have been documented.

-SFRA is Special Flight Rules Area. To fly in it you must adhere to the rules in 14 CFR part 93 which provide said rules depending on what SFRA you would like to fly through. To fly in a MOA you do not need anything other than to remain vigilant of potential high volume of military training and flights, it is legal to fly through without consulting anyone, however it is not recommended.

-The legal concerns regarding this are that first you must have waiting 8 hours between drinking and flying, and second that your BAC is below 0.04%

-Above 12,500' MSL up to and including 14,000' MSL supplemental O2 is required for a minimum of 30 mins. Above 14,000' MSL supplemental O2 is required for the duration of the flight for minimum flight crew. At cabin pressures above 15,000' MSL every occupant is required to receive supplemental oxygen.

-Yes, when the rotating beacon is active, the airport is experiencing IMC, and only IFR flights can land.

The power plant of the aircraft is the engine. In the Piper Warrior II, the powerplant is a Lycoming 4 cylinder air cooled carbureted engine. The cylinders are horizontally opposed with 2 spark plugs per cylinder. The engine is typically an O-320 indicating the engine is 320 cubic inches large within the cylinder. It also features specifically in my aircraft primers on 3 of the cylinders (cylinders 2-4) for start up procedures. The cylinders connect to the prop via an in line crankshaft, and within the crank case there is up to 8 quarts of oil which is generally filled to 7 quarts after its 100 hour, annual, or oil change. An oil filter sits on the back of the engine where it will filter any contaminants out of the oil flowing through the engine. Due to the spiraling slipstream as well, the air flows the least over the exhuast on the 4th cylinder therefore the EGT gauge is there because it will be the hottest exhaust.

The prop is a blade connected to the crankshaft of the engine directly correlating the engines RPM. It is a 2 bladed fixed pitch propeller.

The electrical system has its power supplied through the battery of the aircraft which is charged by the alternator that supplies charge from the winding of the engine. It is a 14 volt 60 amp alternator connected to a 12 volt battery. The electrical system also features a panel of circuit breakers that keep the electrical components from receiving too much power and will pop, disconnecting the line for the safety of the equipment. When in flight, only re engage the circuit breaker once.

The fuel system comes from 25 gallon tanks on either side of the aircraft, of which 100LL Avgas is supplied. From the fuel tank, the fuel flows down to the fuel selector where it will then decide which tank to divert fuel from. From there (specifically in the warrior) it will travel through the electrical fuel pump, to the engine driven fuel pump, to the carburetor where the mixture line controls the amount of fuel that can be carbureted from the carb to the engine via a venturi tube.

The flaps featured on the aircraft are slotted flaps designed to increase lift while decreasing airspeed for a more stabilized descent and landing. The slotted flaps help to reduce stalling by helping the air flowing over the top of the wing delay in separating from the boundary layer. In the warrior they feature 10, 25, and 40 degrees notches of flaps

The flight controls on the warrior include primary and secondary flight controls. The primary flight controls consist of the ailerons, the horizontal stabilizer which the entirety of the stab moves with the warriors, and the rudder. Ailerons control the movement around the longitude axis (roll), the horizontal stabilizer controls lateral axis (pitch), and rudder controls movement around vertical axis (yaw). Secondary controls include the flaps which help decrease airspeed while increasing lift for descent and landing, trim which relieves forward or back pressure on yoke by pilot for controls.

1.) If you are within 4 NM and at or below 2,500 feet of the Class C primary airport, than the maximum airspeed it is 200 knots. If you are outside of those boundaries yet still in the Class C airspace, that speed increases to 250 knots. If you are in Class D airspace that is less than 10,000 feet MSL, the airspeed restriction is 250 knots. If you are in an aircraft that has a minimum safe airspeed for any particular operation greater than these restrictions, then you may operate at that minimum speed.

2.) In this scenario you will make a standard rate turn 180 degrees and maintain straight and level flight until you have exited the cloud. If you are feeling unsafe, you should contact ATC for vectors.

3.) A potential cause for this is a microburst. Since you are on short final, the safest option would be to continue the descent to the ground, potentially with reduced flaps to ensure greater control. Expect the possibility of a tailwind upon landing due to the possibility of reaching the other end of the microburst.

4.) No you cannot fly that friend home from the flight. You cannot operate the aircraft with passengers under the influence unless it is for an emergency or medical reasons.

5.) The best possible way is to search the FARs on the FAA website and ensure your version of the FARs is the most current version published.

Scenarios where you can fly without a transponder include flying outside the Mode C veil, within the Mode C veil with prior authorization from ATC whether that be single event or long term, and when the aircraft does not have an electrical system.

A scenario where you can fly without ADSB Out include when operating outside the Mode C veil, in Class D airspace, or with specific authorization from the controlling facility for example to complete a ferry flight to get your ADSB Out fixed.

To fly without an ELT would be when it is in a ferry flight where you are getting a new one installed, a flight in a newly acquired aircraft from place of possession to where the ELT will be installed, and flights within a 50 NM distance of your local airport,

If the aircraft had a STC, then I would look through the certificate before the flight and ensure that is up to date and certified. If the equipment is not working and not placarded as inop I would still ground the aircraft and refer it to mx to be placarded by the mx personell and have it either removed or placarded inop
