Always be exploring

By Ben Sclair · April 28, 2022 ·

Ruts are easy to fall into, and can be tough to get out of. All the more reason we need to keep exploring the world around us to see what we can learn.

I’ll take the turf

By Ben Sclair · April 24, 2022 ·

Pilots and the aircraft they fly are a diverse group. Some prefer concrete as far as the eye can see. Others see a few hundred feet of turf as ideal.

East Hampton played the long game

By Ben Sclair · April 21, 2022 ·

I’ve never been to East Hampton. But I have been to a few resort towns. Balancing what makes a place a resort (atmosphere) with what keeps a place a resort (money) will never be easy.

By Ben Sclair · April 4, 2022 ·

Wouldn’t it be more effective it the FAA just prohibited pilots from getting “busy or distracted” while in the cockpit?

By Ben Sclair · April 3, 2022 ·

Delegation is great. Until it isn’t.

Bulldozers target VNY

By Ben Sclair · February 21, 2022 ·

As for those bulldozers heading to VNY, I wish them blue skies and tailwinds.

New wired camera system from Flight Flix

By Ben Sclair · February 7, 2022 ·

The system handles multiple cameras and can broadcast live to the cockpit on any navigation display. Hardwiring allows the camera to be activated with switches for easy on/off operation, according to company officials.

In search of ‘school-worthy’ parts

By Ben Sclair · February 3, 2022 ·

A brilliant idea. No doubt many of us have collected random parts in the hopes of returning them to airworthy status. Now, they could be something even better: “School-worthy.”
