    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    How's that go again? Aviate. Navigate. Communicate.

    ADHD+THC

    All true, but we're crossed up between state and federal. The people who would require Pfizer to have "...decades of blind peer-reviewed tests" are the feds (FDA, specifically), and to the feds it's an illegal street drug and has been for decades. From their standpoint, they've already...

    Yeah, good point. The OP could be read that way. https://www.verywellmind.com/weed-and-adhd-what-the-research-says-5443195 As mentioned above, the perception that marijuana is therapeutic for ADHD is growing in popularity. For example, a 2016 qualitative analysis of online discussions around...

    ADHD+THC

    The amazing thing is that he had already completed that process, then pizzed it away with a joint or two. Dumb, dumb, dumb move.

    Yeah, I would have appreciated more in-cockpit video from the pilot's perspective, and to hear comms. But the movie wasn't made for pilots in particular.

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    Agreed. At the moment, based on prototype airplanes, the crossover point seems to be around 30-60 minutes, more or less. To make a truly useful airplane that can be used for meaningful XC travel, or jobs like cargo hauling, the batteries will need to improve by 6x to 10x, which is about in...

    ADHD+THC

    Wait, I thought you said he was only using pot to treat COVID symptoms. Now you’re discussing recreational use. Which is it? Did he even have COVID?

    ADHD+THC

    It simply doesn’t matter how you personally see it. It only matters how the FAA sees it. They see it as abuse of an illegal substance by someone who wants to fly airplanes. They see his continuing use (second failed test) as extremely poor judgment. Some things are off limits for pilots...

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    Greening and canker have been problems, but landowners are finding it’s to their financial advantage to sell for other uses rather than replanting. In some cases they can collect insurance and government assistance to rip out the trees, then they sell the land for development. I understand the...

    Honest reporting on electric airplanes

    :yeahthat: Just a few miles down the road from me, large orange groves have been replaced with solar fields, and now our local citrus processing plant is importing some of its oranges. "Florida's Natural" brand of OJ isn't entirely from Florida anymore and I think that's sad.
