Oh, wait. It's the 13th. THAT back door. Never mind.

Are the flowers and chocolate for before or after? Bribe or reward?

We used to have the 1000# slop to cover this, but no more. In the end though, why would you need to know the actual regs wording? Common sense dictates the call. You changed the condition of the original release by returning. CYA at a minimum.

I agree, but that wasn't the case with us. Those four business folks were supposed to be on that airplane and were on the SPIL because they were first class. The actual pax count equaled the weight data pax count for just that reason. Had the agent been successful in keeping them off the flight, we probably would have gotten an amended weight data and pax count on taxi out.

The tandem RV's are not suitable for instruction due to the lack of rear seat brakes. You will need a side by side which means a RV6/7/9. Maintenance is much lower since you can do it yourself and there is almost always local RV guys who love helping out. Experimental parts are often a fraction of price of certified parts!

The Air Force proved a long time ago, you can teach anyone to fly in a T37 and a T38!

Jet Airplanes!

Anything slower, with a propeller, just gives the student more time to reconsider his choices. You don't have time to think up there, you think... YOU're Dead!

That being said, if you start in a tail wheel airplane, you WILL be a better pilot in the end.

Put a tail wheel on a T38, I'm in!

Will the new ADS-B rules have any effect on these smaller airplanes such as the 150/152 or RVs, etc?

It's airspace-specific, not aircraft--so it depends on where you want to fly that C-152.... With the broadest of brushes (not intended to be all-inclusive nor guaranteed 100% correct!): Class A, B, C; above 10,000' MSL; and within 30 miles of a Class-B airport--you'll need to comply. If all your flying is in rural areas away from larger airports, you don't.

Google, yes that Google, just jumped into the ADS-B Hardware market. Expect harware prices to adjust on an exponential scale.

ADS-B is the "internet" of the skies so it kinda makes sense and drones and deconfliction with manned aircraft is driving this...

Google targets low-cost ADS-B Out avionics market - 3/24/2015 - Flight Global
