Trent Palmer is a backcountry pilot from northern Nevada. While making an inspection pass he was reported for reckless behavior to the FAA by an unpleasant neighbor. The FAA found him in violation of FAR's and has threatened to pull his ticket. His original video on the incident can be found here along with a follow up here.

Inspection passes like the one Palmer was reported for are critical to allowing the pilot in command a clear understanding of the ground conditions and whether it's safe to land. Not being able to perform an inspection below 500' would require a pilot to land blind and risk destroying the airplane and putting the safety of everyone on board at risk. That's unacceptable.

Senator Ted Budd of NC has taken up the fight to require the FAA to add exceptions for inspection passes, as well as common training maneuvers including go arounds, practice approaches, and instrument approaches, to the list of maneuvers exempted from the minimum altitude regulation (14 C.F.R. § 91.119).

You can help by contacting your Senator and sharing this. Go to Senate.gov or call the main switchboard at (202)-224-3121. Ask your Senator to support the Backcountry Aviation Protection Act.

learned how to hot fuel the Jet Ranger off grid out of barrels today. (Means while the heli is running at idle, give her some good soup)

Been doing that all day in the cold and wind. I think I'm getting peak Alaska bush flying experience with this.

Only now my whole jacket and my boots are soaked in jetfuel. Luckily both are waterproof and it vaporizes off. But I'm just gonna smell like jetfuel for the rest of the weekend and probably forever. Luckily I actually like the smell of jet fuel and the vapors dont bother me.. :'))

i miss william bush... my main man william bush...

#em is posting about hornblower #still reading btq. went YES! HOORAY! HA HA! when hornblower walked directly into the top of a doorway.#not in good spirits toward either hornblower or barbara at present. awful fucked people and not in an interesting way right now.#<- it very much shows that I started with flying colours and lieutenant both of which have a rather lighter hand with the all of it #anyway. propelled onward with the every-so-often mention of bush which of course charms me.

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

Photo taken my me :) She let me come right up to her. It was such a special moment.

#this past Friday I was on campus and next to these beautiful mountain Laurel bushes was the butterfly #it was such an amazing experience getting so close up to the butterfly without it flying away #I love butterflies. They’re one of my favorite animals.#They are very strong and resilient species #bread #art #my photos #photos #butterfly #butterflies #Eastern Tiger Swallowtail #lilybug-02

Happy Year of the Snake! 🐍🎉

… and also bat too I guess lol 🦇

Beach scene featuring my characters Raiden and Dracul, as well as my sona Lysol and my boo @deygodraws’s sona Axel

If I had a nickel for every bat x snake OC pairing I had, I’d have two nickels. Which is weird, because Rai and Drac had existed and were dating long before Axel and I ever even met, so the similarities are a complete coincidence lmao

Also despite being my primary sona, I draw Lysol so infrequently that it feels like I change something about her design every time I draw her. Like I loved the Luna moth wings, but it kinda started to bother me that her wings didn’t look very bat-like anymore, so I guess she has spectral ghost wings now
