From the left seat

“I started flying out of Ogden and kept running into the same problem: the answers were spread across a dozen FAA books, forum threads and YouTube videos, and half of them disagreed. So I started writing down what I learned, checking every rule against the actual regulation, and building the tools I wished I had. That's this site. If you find something wrong, tell me. I'll fix it and log the change on the page.”
