I’m buying an airplane for personal use, and I understand I need to pay sales tax in the state it will be domiciled. In my case, I have a house in PA and a house in MD, and expect the plane to be in each about half of the time. Where do I file and pay the tax?
Yes, the best course of action would be to talk with a tax professional or as Ron said an attorney that knows the tax code well. In the end, it likely won't matter who you end up paying since both states charge 6%.
If your aircraft is committed to an international flight and you are waiting on your permanent registration or you have not filed the registration paperwork yet, you can request priority handling. The FAA can fax you a 30-day Temporary Certificate of Registration which is good for operations outside of the United States. All documents must be in order and the aircraft must meet airworthiness requirements. Keep in mind this is for legitimately scheduled ...
If you ever want to make a flight to as cool a destination as a pilot could fly to, put the Wright Brothers National Memorial at First Flight airport on your bucket list.
By all means, check out the monument, but you must see the First Flight Boulder and Flight Line, where you can walk the path of those four flights on December 17th, 1903. The first of which, you all know the story:
Orville at the controls, Wilbur running alongside in John Daniels' iconic picture below, 10:35am, ...
I concur. When I taught out of Hampton Roads Executive Airport (PVG) it was always a dual cross-country flight with my students. Since it was a special place to visit we planned for at least half a day. If you are hungry, there is a Dairy Queen within a short walk located on the bypass.
Hi everyone.
I hope everyone is safe and well. I’m relatively new to the world of IFR training and my CFII is exhibiting great patience with me as I struggle to maintain altitudes, headings, MY head, etc. I am very much looking forward to continuing my learning.
There are a huge number of people, companies etc. out there who have committed themselves to creating videos, articles and ensuring that information is passed along in hopes that we can become better, safer ... more
Hi Dennis,
A couple of books I've enjoyed over the years and found them helpful is Rod Machado's Instrument Pilot's Survival Manual as well as J.R. Williams' The Art of Instrument Flying. The latter being a bit dated, however still containing some good, useful information.
We are often asked if a Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant can “perform” a BasicMed physical exam. Per the language in AC 68-1, the exam is to be performed by a “state licensed physician," but the NP or PA may “assist” with the exam, as long as the form is signed by the MD or DO. There is no definition of “assist” so as long as the form is signed by the physician, you should be fine.

Q46: Can a physician extender (such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant) conduct the medical exam?
A: A physician extender is a health care provider who is not a physician but who performs some medical activities typically done by a physician. Physician extender practice privileges and requirements for physician supervision vary by state. Physician extenders are generally nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Registered nurses, medical technicians, and medical support personnel also assist with certain elements of an examination but are not considered physician extenders. Section 2307 of FESSA did not specifically exclude participation of a physician extender. However, under BasicMed the physician is responsible for conducting the medical examination and must be the signatory on the CMEC.
