    Fall from door

    We had a long time and well-liked contributor here succumb to one such fall at home. Several career terminating falls in recreational life at my work as well. Agree, the ROI of ladder climbing in pedestrian life for me does not pencil out. As the owner of a 2 story home, I subcontract all that...

    OSH - AIRCRAFT DOWN SOUTH OF ULTRALIGHT AREA

    Criminal liability? My guess is probably not, but I'm just an internet lawyer. Civil liability? Sure, I think there's plenty there, especially for those affected by the fatalities. The guy will probably declare bankruptcy, and nobody will be made whole. The mooney owner on the ground was...

    FAA authorization act signed

    You can call that one the Taylor Swift provision.

    Piper wing spar eddy current testing

    Meh, this was a ERAU created problem, through and through. I'm so glad I'm out of that moral hazard AD morass even though it cost me a dozen AMUs (sale at a loss). BL, this one isn't OEM malfeasance, this one is 100% owner/operator driven, and we bystanders paid for it. I'd go on what I really...

    tribal behavior often is like that.

    Whisper X350 aircraft

    I looked at them (18T/52/CJ et al) a few years back and crossed them out for a host of reasons. I won't into them since I don't want to get into a back and forth with the owner tribes/not that important. BL, I can get more performance/cost bang for the buck for my use case on much smaller wet...

    how much risk flying in windy conditions

    Can confirm. Upon recent arrival back at the salt mines for another "voluntary" chapter to the saga of my so-called career, was casually informed I'm now the highest time T-38 guy on the entire installation. Talk about blink and you'll miss it. Though I barely recognize the middle aged man...

    172/Cherokee gotchas

    ditto for my aging parents and their current housing situation. Big time myopic view, thinking they would be 50 forever. The house is a death trap for 70+ year old bones, several nasty falls already, playing that russian roulette. But I've said my peace and they'll do what they'll do until...

    Garmin 430. Reckon how long to live?

    what's the flat charge for that stuff these days? No longer own, asking just for the benefit of the gallery since covid M2 printer go brrr made every pricing thread pre-2021 obsolete by quite a clip.

    If [BLANK] is what you find too expensive about flying...

    Remember, some of these guys made a living being remoras to that status quo (ditto for the Aeromed lackeys). They're going to reflexively simp for it. So that's par for the course. On a personal level, I'm just surprised EAB allowances remain untouched in this regulatory environment. I fear for...

    172/Cherokee gotchas

    As the brits say: "and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle" (brits use that to mean a promiscuous woman btw) IOW, the sub 200hp 4 seaters have always been plagued with that power loading problem, it's why the market places a premium on the 230-300hp 4 seat offerings, while the...
