Plan to apply, allegedly they will be hiring more pilots soon. No helicopter weight capable pads on the windmills, workers and gear are winched on and off a platform on the windmill.
The expense is just getting started. Maintenance and crew changes will be by big helicopter.

OnX talks about it a bunch they made a couple of movies about accessing land locked public land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yvyFIr1j4U&t=2s
And this recent case....
When aviation youtubers have an event it seems curious. Did he just one up Taylorcraft guy?
The American country and culture that allowed back country flying no longer exists. The American gov't that has the power to stop people from backcountry flying won't exist in another ten years. Get...
I'm a big fan of this short 8 minute video on spin demonstrations. He makes a great point about training spins not reflecting reality of accident spins. And shows how to demo more realistic spins....
Grumpy old guy mode. PTS->ACS has sissy'd up stalls. The thing to do is what the OP did, teach the ones you can, what you can. Hope someone else catches the rest, or they figure it out, or they never...
Consider https://hillpeoplegear.com/Products/CategoryID/1 instead of a vest. Others make similar. If you want waterproof there are fishing chest packs.as well.
Great result. If the judge ruled the other way it would have been a disaster for all of us and the gov't.
On the Boston heli chart just South of the Bravo surface area there is a note stating ...Helicopter route assignments and altitudes do not relieve pilots of compliance with FAR 91.119 and 135.203 (b)...
Don't engage. I've watched about thirty seconds of it. I think the stunt was cool, and like you and others I don't care about the promotion or backstory drama BS. I heard about the stunt, watched the...
It is a cool stunt. No one here could do it. You aren't getting a cub to Dubai, permission, and a good film crew unless you are Redbull. You can celebrate with Redbull or hate on them but if they...
Love them or hate them doesn't matter when Redbull starts playing your game the level of play is going way up. Yes being on the Redbull air force is a dangerous job but these guys would be doing a...
BASE jumping is the purest form of human flight. If driving a plane is flying, driving a boat is swimming.
Let's collectively buy a controlling share of Cub Crafters then force them to start building Skywagons.:lol:
4. Add a new CFI rating
5. If you've done a bunch(5 iirc) of FRs and logged them in wings you can renew based on that.
Number 5 is spelled out in an Advisory Circular the number escapes at the...
Reread my post. I wrote 'could be this guy.' A bunch of DPEs got canned recently but that doesn't usually rise to the level of reexamination for pilots. I hope all affected get over this hurdle with...
Another CFI was telling me about a DPE that was passing applicants without ever going flying. Didn't say where it happened, could be this guy.
If this accident is on video and the one I'm thinking of my guess is the pilot simply stalled and spun. Helicopters being blamed for one of pilots oldest airplane ending tricks.

Just scared Karen pilots reading more into the rules than exists. Those types of pilots have been with us since the invention of tricycle landing gear.
Funny. We have to get rid of 100LL to appear green, then we are going fly around billowing smoke. Not against smoke, just laughing at the hypocrisy.
If it lawn darted into the water and the tails aren't falling off these aircraft on a regular basis pilot incapacitation is the most likely cause.
