My take is that it's a good start and important step towards fully de-leading the fleet fuel. There was a good article on AVweb breaking down the difference between the STC and ASTM approaches and the work that still need to be done:

If you own a plane, do you intend to buy the GAMI STC for it?

Do you have access to G100UL at your airport or in your area?

Asking here because I no longer have a Reddit account: if a safety pilot is a required crew member and one or both pilots are not night current, is it legal to fly after the end of civil twilight?

I could argue it isn't because there are phases of flight where no safety pilot is required (taking off and landing) and therefore they are a passenger. Is that a correct interpretation of the regs?

The r/flying subreddit is moderated to be for pilots to discuss actual participation in flying and flight training subjects, moreso than any airplane themed content. At the moment the content being posted here is more similar to r/aviation. It seems to take a significant community and moderator effort to keep out general aviation themed and even general travel-themed posts, but the result has been a high quality pilot (and future pilot) community. What's the intention here?

"Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest Gann

"Wind, Sand, and Stars" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery

"Going Solo" by Roald Dahl (not all flying, but lots of WW2 RAF stories, and all the non-flying stuff is also excellent)

All of these are God tier books.
