Congratulations! You are the proud owner of your first airplane -- a high-performance, retractable, at that.

An airman's certificate is an airman's certificate is an airman's certificate, except when it is a medical certificate, or is it?

Suppose your best buddy wants to impress his latest girlfriend with a quick spin around the city in your airplane. You’ve flown with him a few times and feel confident in his ability. True, you’ve never loaned your aircraft to anyone before, but what’s the worst that could happen?

What happens if you read back a clearance and comply, but ATC claims you busted altitude? The findings of a recent court case might surprise you.
