If a VFR pilot is tempted to do this, why not instead simply file and activate a VFR flight plan?

Idle (600-800 RPM) when full rich promotes plug fouling, and hold short would be a bad time for that, since you've already done your...

That's true. However, "not lean enough" is a common problem. Many engines can't get lean enough to reduce temperatures. The engine gets...

My tailwheel instructor complimented me for knowing I had feet. He guessed that was because I had flown many different ultralight...

I keep it as terse as possible. For example when flying from Seattle to the San Juans: "Whidbey Approach, Skyhawk XXXXX, Bush Point, VFR...

Yes, excessive fuel does cool the engine. And it's better for power because the mixture vs power curve is asymmetric: being X% lean...

Running in the "red box" kills valves. If you lean it enough, you're out of the box. If you enrich enough, you're out of the box. The...

Yep, with the magnetometer the DG becomes an electronic compass instead of an acceleration & integration instrument.

The AI calibrates itself when you first turn it on. If the airplane is parked on a non-level surface, the AI will get a false horizon...

It's not about "away" or "toward". It's not about "left" or "right". It's about fly a heading on the side the needle swings toward...

It is correct. It doesn't matter which radial you put on top. For example, 45 or 225. One way, the needle swings left, the other way, it...

I get the same symptom during ultra endurance sports events as I approach my limits. First, I start to lose peripheral vision. If I...

Regarding reverse sensing, here's a way to think about it differently. If the needle is not centered, then it's swinging left or right...

Thanks. Note the RN in my screen name...I'm well aware, all part of why I posted this topic and am asking about continuous O2 vs a lil...
