It should as long as it's still within the valid period of what? 48 months I think?

The plan is for the other bases to do IPT come Fall.

Average X user discovers great circle routes.

So what you're saying is we need a HUD or projection-type solution that converts ADS-B in and RemoteID position data into a 2D marker. It's an easier solution than we realize (it could probably be done with a raspberry pi), but innovation runs at the speed of turtle.

Trust me, I know. I joke that Prescott is the labor camp for the Daytona mothership, so they try to get as many students as possible into the flight program with no care for secondary effects. How they expect to get IPT students pushed through is beyond me, especially with the dismal DA-42 rates.

IFT (the original one at Pueblo, CO) used Diamond DA-20's. IPT (the new program) uses whatever the flight school you get sent to uses to go from Private all the way to Multi (likely Cessna 172S Nav III's, PA-28 Cherokees, and/or Cessna 310s for multi stuff). One of the IPT locations is ERAU in Prescott. They use 172's and DA-42's for example.

Welcome to the slow burn of the Guard process, and congrats btw. NGB won't approve a rated appointment packet until they have your FC1. As far as FC1 dates, I'm not sure. WP seems to be constantly backed up so expect a few months of waiting.

This is how it was explained by someone with a better grasp on O retirements in the ANG: "What happens is that he can still serve while in this continuation of service status [as the CJCS], and then when he's done, he's done. He does not 'retire' again. They just pick the date when his service will end, and on that date there will be an immediate separation from service."

For sure. I meant the person that tweeted, not you. Sorry about that.

Here comes the peanut gallery...

If you want a quick run-down of the SFRA procedures for GA, this link has a kneeboard card explaining everything. It can get a little confusing if you haven't done the training. https://www.faasafety.gov/files/gslac/courses/content/405/1310/170301 Kneeboard - DC SFRA Checklist.pdf

I think it's also a direct response to SCOTUS getting rid of Chevron Deference (https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/supreme-court-strikes-down-chevron-curtailing-power-of-federal-agencies/) last year in the wake of agencies who were using their rule-making authority to create pseudo-carveouts in the law. One example was the ATF's bump-stock case which ultimately was found to violate the Administrative Procedures Act last summer (https://www.oyez.org/cases/2023/22-976). Now whenever a legal challenge comes up against these agencies, they can't just have government lawyers appease judges by saying "Trust us we're the experts." They have to show a legitimate attempt to remain within the guard-rails set by Congress, and Trump's administration is likely tired of these agencies making fools of themselves.

They only look at the documents you provide in your packet.

End of the line for T-1's at Pensacola. What a time to be alive. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/local/pensacola/2025/02/14/air-force-training-unit-at-nas-pensacola-begins-sendoff-of-jayhawk/78393747007/
