I've been scouring my FAR and Google for the answer to this but with no luck, so maybe y'all can help.
If I'm doing ground operations at an uncontrolled airfield (no tower, unicoms, etc), is there any special license required to talk to taxiing aircraft on an unused freq to coordinate? IE your radio license or whatever.

This hasn't been a good year for airlines based in Malaysia, but apparently the accident airplane was operated by their Indonesian affiliate carrier.

From what I've seen reported, there were some pretty massive thunderstorms along the route the flight was supposed to take, so I'm wondering if the crew didn't somehow divert themselves into the middle of a bad cell.

Wx was poo poo, looking at the radar, and sources are saying that it was going 100 kts slower than filed. But of course take all of that with the rest of the wild speculations that happen during the times like this.

I bet the FAA is going to screw us this year in the 3rd class medical exemption. My grandfather in law, retired Colonel USAF B-52s has been waiting about 2 years to fly his mooney.

On my current medication, the FAA prefers if I had depression instead of OCD (at least, it would be easier with the former according to off-the-record conversations with a few AMEs). I really hope they don't gently caress this one up...
