DPE Shortage - Plane & Pilot

If you are one of the 806,940 pilot certificate holders reported by the FAA in its 2023 airman statistics, you will probably be familiar with a DPE, or designated pilot examiner. Over the years the FAA has gradually shed its responsibilities for carrying out most practical tests in favor of independent designees who are appointed at the “pleasure” of the FAA administrator. In normal speech, this means they can appoint and fire them whenever they…Read Article

Importance of Noise Abatement - Plane & Pilot

Walk with me.” That’s not something you want to hear from Bob, the owner of the airport where I base my airplane. “One of our neighbors said you flew directly over their property east of the field.” “Ummm…,” was the only response I could muster at the moment. I knew better than to try to deny it. “You can’t deny it,” Bob said as if reading my mind “I have a beautiful picture of the bottom of your airplane!” The neighbor—the one who sits in thei…Hillsboro, Oregon · Hillsboro Read Article

Last of Its Kind - Varga 2180TG - Plane & Pilot

When Ken Nelson of Fort Mill, South Carolina, shows up at various fly-ins around the Carolinas, his Varga 2180TG Kachina usually turns heads for a couple of reasons. Resplendent in historically inauthentic Royal Air Force colors, it could, at first glance, easily be mistaken for a warbird trainer. Well, it’s not. The next thing pilots might say is, “I’ve seen plenty of Vargas with nosewheels, but never a taildragger.” This is to be expected. Th…Fort Mill · Fort Mill Read Article

Fly the Airplane - Plane and Pilot Mag

Not surprisingly, the No. 1 cause of general aviation accidents remains loss of control (LOC). Sadly, there’s an average of about one LOC event a week. However, these preventable accidents can happen anywhere in our aviation world. The most famous of these was Air France Flight 447. It was the evening of June 1, 2009, and Flight 447, a 4-year-old Airbus 330, was serenely cruising just below the equator at FL 360. Suddenly, one of the Airbus’ th…Merced · Merced Read Article

Youth in Aviation - The Next Generation

Like so many pilots, I didn’t have the luxury of growing up within an aviation family. Admittedly, my parents looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I wanted to learn how to fly. “Cayla, you don’t like math or science, how are you supposed to become a pilot?” At the time, I agreed, but being the stubborn 16-year-old that I was, I wanted to take flight in a small airplane just to see what it was all about. What started out as a Young Eag…Aviation · Georgia Read Article

Splish Splash - Plane and Pilot Mag

There’s something about a little yellow tailwheel airplane that has always ignited my soul. After all, a Cub sitting on a hangar pad was what initially drew me to walk into the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program, an experience that changed the course of my life at just barely 16 years old. As I’ve progressed through this decade-long aviation journey, Cubs still catch my eye, but there’s one of a different variety that I’ve been dying to get my…Burnet · Burnet Read Article

Slow It Down for Safety’s Sake

As I settled back into my seat, I looked over to the first officer. We were about 15 minutes prior to departure, and things were all shaping up to be on time. “Hey, how’s about a preflight checkl-” “Interior and exterior inspections?” “Compl-” “Oxygen masks?” “Chec-” “Checked. CVR?” Chhhhheeeecccckkkkeeeedddddd. I waited a long moment before I replied. You could see tension building as I upset his rapid-fire recitation of the checklist. It was …Atlanta, Georgia · Atlanta Read Article
