If you are like me, a week at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh gets you all excited and motivated for a new airplane.

I like new stuff. For years I told myself I bought things for the long haul. It didn’t matter if it was a car, boat or aircraft.

If the owner of a smart watch was a pilot, information like this could be detri­mental to their medical or career in general.

Ever own a Corvette? I owned a 1974 Convertible. Great car, fun to drive and very impractical. Fast, sleek and simple.

If you have been following the aviation market, you know the prices for aircraft have skyrocketed over the last few years.

I am one of those pilots that I tell people not to be. I am a private pilot with single engine and multi engine rat­ings.

As a follow up to my past article about “Your Ego Buying Aircraft You Can’t Get Insured,” here are some additional details.

“Flying is not inher­ently dangerous, but crashing is!” Aviation is one of those areas that has a higher risk if you are in over your head.

I was talking to a client the other day about the training requirements for a new airplane being purchased.

Aviation insurance continues to get higher priced and harder to get. In fact, it’s now one of the top three costs of owning an aircraft;

If your plane can’t fly, what happens to your insurance? Sometimes owners drop insurance until they can fly again.

Talking to owners and buyers also gives me an idea about what’s on their minds, such as the cost of aircraft, fuel, and insurance, and ways to cut some of those costs.

I could have titled this article “Flying Naked,” which means flying without insurance, but the word “naked” might conjure up the wrong notion

The internet is quite the place. You can find great videos of kittens, fantastic recipes, and almost any opinion on anything imaginable.

I purchased an airplane a few years ago, which brought to light an interesting turn of events I would like to share, as I’m told others have found themselves in a similar situ­ation.

If the origi­nal type certificate is modified or the performance parameters have been changed, you’re looking for changes in the insurance.

Good piloting means using cross controls, maintaining a heading, and controlling the aircraft to the ground.

Remember when you were training for your private pilot’s li­cense and the instructor pulled the power back and declared an “emergency”?

Several years ago, I attended a gathering for one of my favorite aircraft, the Cessna 337 Skymaster.

If you’re acting as the Pilot in Command (PIC) on a flight, and you let a nonpilot do some of the flying from the right seat, is that legal?

So, I got to thinking. What about all these warranties on air­craft and their components? I know that if you have an accident and you have insurance, the damage should be covered. But of course, repairs to worn-out parts aren’t covered. And what about the engine? If the crank is cracked or the compression is low, is that a warranty item or an insurance item? Or is that just a part of ownership?
