Italian born pilot, living in the Czech Republic. Does going from a private pilot to a professional diminish the love of aviation, making it a “job?”
Thank you for making my commutes memorable from an aspiring future pilot.
Based out of New Jersey, when the President is in the area and I am in the TFR, how do I stay safe and legal with my flight plan?
Enjoyed the soaring podcast with Jim G, it’s hard to explain how fast gliders can fly.
What is the significance of the Y and Z in the name on the approach plate?
Can I instruct without a Commercial Pilot Certificate, do I need a CPC to become a CFI?
