EntireFlight No Part Of Aviation Left Out

06/21/2026

Happy Father’s Day to the dads who did more than raise us they taught us how to fly.

To those lucky enough to have their father in the right seat as their first flight instructor, you know it was never just about landings, checklists, or crosswinds. It was about patience, trust, discipline, and passing down a passion that changed your life forever.

Some of the greatest lessons in aviation and in life came through a headset from Dad.
The sky was the classroom, but the bond built there lasts a lifetime.

Today we celebrate the fathers who handed down the gift of flight and the sons and daughters who now carry that legacy forward.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads who helped us earn our wings but also to the new dads that plan to share and teach the knowledge of flight. ✈️

**14 CFR §91.103 – Preflight Action:** As PIC, you are required to review *all available information* relevant to your flight before departure — weather, fuel, alternates, and runway lengths included.

You glanced at the sky, liked what you saw, and launched. Now you're halfway through a cross-country, buried in an unexpected layer, with no alternate identified, no fuel plan to reach one, and no idea whether your destination even has an approach.

What information were you legally required to have before you left the ramp — and what's your next move now? ✈️

**14 CFR §91.103 – Preflight Action:** Before any flight, the PIC must be familiar with ALL available information relevant to the operation.

You've checked the forecast, filed the route, and topped the tanks. But that 3,200-ft destination runway? No performance data pulled. Low ceilings en route? No alternates identified. The tanks are full — but your preflight isn't.

Before you taxi out, what information do you still need — and are you actually legal to go? ✈️

**14 CFR §91.103 – Preflight Action**: As PIC, you must review ALL available flight information before departure — weather, fuel, alternates, and runway data.

Your buddy's weather screenshot and past experience at the destination aren't enough. There's an active SIGMET you haven't checked, a construction-shortened runway that affects your landing distance, and no formal wx briefing on file. ✈️

Are you legal to depart — and what do you still need before starting that engine?

**14 CFR §91.103 — Preflight Action:** Before any flight, the PIC must review all available information relevant to that flight — weather, fuel, alternates, and runway lengths.

You glanced at a weather app, liked what you saw, and headed to the ramp. Now you're at cruise with deteriorating conditions at a mountain destination, no alternate in mind, and fuel math that isn't working out.

What information were you actually required to have before engine start — and did you have it? ✈️

**14 CFR §61.113** — A private pilot cannot fly for compensation or hire, but can split operating costs equally with passengers.

Your buddy offers to cover the entire $180 Cessna rental if you fly him to the lake house. No cash in your pocket, no problem — right?

Not exactly. If he pays 100% and you pay nothing, you've received a benefit (free flight time) in exchange for piloting. That's compensation. You must pay at least your pro-rata share — $90 here.

Is this arrangement legal as structured? ✈️

**14 CFR §61.57 — To carry night passengers, you need 3 full-stop landings at night within the past 90 days.**

Your buddy scored concert tickets and wants wheels up at 8:30 PM. Weather's perfect, it's only 45 minutes, and you've got 3 landings logged in the last 90 days — but they were all daytime touch-and-gos. ✈️

Are you legal to take him?

**14 CFR §61.56 — You must complete a flight review every 24 calendar months to act as PIC.**

Perfect VFR Saturday, your buddy's 172, and a $100 hamburger with your name on it. Then you crack the logbook: last flight review signed off October — two years ago. Same month, but you can't pinpoint the date.

Here's the question: does "24 calendar months" work in your favor — or is your buddy flying solo today?
