    Recreational to Commercial.

    If you passed your Part 107 exam, and the results are in IACRA I believe you should be able to print a temporary airman certificate shortly. Please read this: Advisory Circular 107-2 on Section 107.64 Temporary certificate. When the applicant uses this online option, the application will be...

    Recreational to Commercial.

    To answer your questions, no, and no... A Recreational certificate is issued to the pilot, not to the aircraft. If you signed up for a Recreational certificate in the USA, YOU have one registration number – yours – which goes on each and every recreational aircraft you own. It doesn’t matter...

    The good, the bad and the ugly- Remote ID Proposal PRM

    If you read the proposal, installing/retrofitting ADSB-out or any type of transponder is specifically excluded...as it would overload the system for manned aircraft.

    Know where you are.

    Reminds me about something Chuck Yeager once said: Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any landing you can walk away from and use the same aircraft the next day is a great one!

    Flying near non-towered airport where Class E starts at 700 feet but it’s in DJI restricted zone

Include a screen shot of the sectional chart (take one off vfrmap.com), the UAS facility map showing the altitude grid (or in your case the...

    Flying near non-towered airport where Class E starts at 700 feet but it’s in DJI restricted zone

    Another really good reference for sorting out Class E airspace types...this is from an FAA Aviation Safety Inspector: https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/events_calendar/archive/2019_uas_symposium/media/How_To_Understand_and_Operate_in_Class_E.pdf

    Flying near non-towered airport where Class E starts at 700 feet but it’s in DJI restricted zone

    No... There is a way to do this...but I’d really like to know what airport so I can look at it on a sectional. Just want to be sure it’s Class E7, not E2 per the FAA Memorandum regarding authorizations. It’s not uncommon for the flying monkeys at [email protected] to get it wrong. If for some...

    Government Snafu

    Likely the result of lobbying by local governments and HOAs.... Looking forward to seeing this one fail miserably.

    Handheld Radios for ATC

    I use the VXA-300 Pilot III as well and they are good, compact handhelds; speaker/mic clips to a loop I have on the vest at my left shoulder.

    FAA Rules --Cell , Radio and TV tower operation

    The FAA recommends staying clear of a 2000’ tower as much as 2000’ horizontally at the base because of the presence of guy wires. This is not a regulation, merely a recommendation... obviously on a free-standing tower that has no guy wires there is no concern. 107.51 (a)(2)....Phaedrus is...
