Episode Description from the Publisher

Too many pilots miss out on fun and rewarding flying experiences because they’re afraid of legal gray areas, according to aviation lawyer and flight instructor Mark Kolber. He shares the facts about cost sharing, ramp checks, and medical applications, with practical advice for staying out of trouble with the FAA. Mark is also a longtime CFI, so he also offers tips for learning to fly later in life and transitioning to new airplanes. In the Ready to Copy segment, you’ll hear about flying in Colorado, Carolina barbecue, and lawyer jokes.SHOW LINKS:* Mark’s legal webinar: https://youtu.be/sWZ5INyRhfE* Mark’s article on IFR departures: https://ifr-magazine.com/avionics/ifr-departures/* PJ2 GPS Radio: https://sportys.com/PJ2GPS
