Fully agree with that. AI is a tool and if used correctly, it can significantly boost productivity, make a ton of personal or business processes simpler, faster and more cost efficient. But yeah, it's not a source of truth. It has been trained on some data. That data has human bias. AI is not a...

Here you go. It does ignore 80% of my career though and only focuses on one of the many things I work or have worked on lol. I guess consulting is too boring to be noteworthy.

Today, I entered the last line of my first physical logbook. My first entry was December 17, 2018 for an intro flight in a rented Cessna 172 and my last entry was today, May 19, 2024 for a bi-annual flight review (which I passed) in my own Piper Comanche 250. Some of my highlights include: -...

I don't consider the Comanche a short field airplane, nor a grass strip airplane. I know some do land it on grass but I'd feel bad landing mine on anything other than nicely paved runways. Also, I don't think 2,100 ft. of runway is enough for a Comanche on a hot, humid summer day. Landing, sure...

^^^ This: Whatever we commoners are seeing isn't even half of it.

:nono: It's Comanche.

We're almost there.

That's unprecedented.

For me it was a fuel pump. Automotive fuel pump is the exact same as the aviation one, just without the sticker. Same brand/manufacturer, same components, etc. The auto version was $50, the aviation one was $250. My mechanic just bought the automotive one, used the components of it to rebuild...

Planned on staying there on my way home from Florida a few months ago. Weather made other plans for us so we ended up staying in Nashville and just flew over Louisville. But, from my conversation with the FBO, they were as nice as they come, got us set up with a car, tie down and super...

And here some pics from the flight.

Back home after a (mostly) smooth evening flight home from business meetings.

All of my purchases were handshake deals until the actual sale e.g. I said “i’ll buy it pending pre-purchase”. That’s it. Once pre-purchase was done and satisfactory, we drew up a purchasing agreement (template i got from a broker), i handed over the money and took the plane. i don’t think any...

Most of us here fly in 50+ year old metal cans most people would consider worthless. I think we all can relate to the small market comment you made lol.

Wow, worked all day to not get replaced by AI myself one day, come back to this thread and it's two pages long! Anywho, to answer your question: I don't know and I think the talking heads in Washington don't either. The tech is too new and doesn't really fit into any of the current legislation...
