You land your plane. It was a great flight, had a good time, got everything done that you needed to. Before you head home, you go through the plane, checking to make sure that everything is in good working order for next time. In the course of your inspection, you find that your Certificate of…
When you get on an aircraft as a passenger, if you’re like so many of us, you probably have a carry-on. Inside this carry-on, you could have some kind of “travel” toiletries and other products. The idea behind these is that, should you need them, you’ll have everything you need all in one place. You…
Have you gone to all of the trouble to get your aircraft, but aren’t sure how the registration process works? Are you about to take off with your plane and realize that there might be some paperwork you haven’t completed? These questions are natural, common, and perfectly understandable. You didn’t get an airplane only so…
If you get on your aircraft without registering it with the Federal Aviation Administration, it will still take off. The wheels will still work, the engine will still ignite, and the wings will lift you up into the sky. However, you won’t be doing it legally. As much as you may enjoy being up in…

The day to day life of an aircraft owner tends to be busy, to say the least. All of the upkeep and care that an aircraft demands is essentially a job in and of itself. Beyond that, it’s not like (contrary to some popular beliefs) the aircraft is not the only demand on your time.…
Remember the last time you bought an appliance? Maybe it was something large, like a washer and dryer, or perhaps it was something smaller, such as a grill, blender, or something similar. If you’re like most people, you did your research. You went online, saw the pros and cons of one brand, make, or model,…
Every flight begins somewhere. Think of everything you go through before you take your plane up into the sky. The preparation, the flight plan, the training – it all comes before that incredible moment where the plane leaves the ground. Your aircraft documentation has a beginning too. For many plane owners, that start would be…
You know how often, when you fly as a passenger in a commercial aircraft, there are those seats in the middle with the doors that may open if there’s an emergency? Often, a flight attendant will come by and remind you that should you sit in these rows, you may be called to open them…
