A few years ago...... Been there.....Done that... About 70mph...just as I was starting to touch down a deer that I had missed in the herd that had crossed the north end of the runway while I was on final... This straggler ran across from the right....and as the tires chirped, I hit him mid span...

Away from home I have one set of aluminum angles chained together. In the hangar I use U shaped wooden chocks made from 2x2's with two 45 deg angle cuts attached to a 2x2 with a rope thru the center... Low profile, and I have different sets with different mouth openings and depths for...

Take your entering sensible temperature, and your relative humidity reading. Plot those numbers on your psychometric chart....... Take your leaving sensible temperature, and your leaving humidity reading. Plot those numbers on your psychometric chart...... That should help you determine if...

Anyone learn the details from this Saturdays TFR violation that drove Biden to the fire station? I guess it wasn't much because I can find next to nothing written about it other than it happened.

How many of you know what it is? How many of you use the terminology? We've been hearing a couple pilots using that language to describe what they're doing in the pattern. I'm curious as to how widespread it's use is in the rest of the flying community.

I keep reading here on this site a lot of information that is contrary to what I've been taught. I guess to each his own. My training has served me well. As a teenager, I was taught by my Dad to never ever use any type of anti-seize lubricant on any wheel lug nut. Wire brush the lugs if...

Sounds like you already have all the answers. Sorry for attempting to assist you. My bad. It won't happen again.

When the tech came out, you did make sure that the tech checked the unit for proper charge? As someone already mentioned, if the unit has a low pressure cut out, it is possible that the unit was cycling on the low pressure switch. And if there was no load calc performed, how do we know what...

Using a setting like that to solve a short cycle issue is like using a band-aid on a leg amputation. Make them provide you with a thermostat that has an adjustable differential setting capability of at least the old standard of 2-3 degrees F. Your new unit is likely more efficient, and if...

HA Ha Ha HAHAHAHAH !!!!! Deer whistles !!! Several years before that stupid deer killed my airplane, I tried that....Ha Ha!! I was willing to try anything, and somebody recommended deer whistles. Legal, or not, I stuck a couple of those silly little pos's to the bottom of the Cherokee that...

Reminder - watch out for deer on landings at night! AND.... Reminder - watch out for deer on landings ANYTIME ! Granted, around here we have a time near dusk that we call deer thirty, and they are normally more active then, but..... I hit a deer in broad daylight 12 noon, just after...

I would say, most who want to learn to fly could learn in almost any aircraft, with maybe a few exceptions. But, why would you want to make it any more difficult and expensive than it already is? There's good reason behind the use of aircraft specifically designed for use as training aircraft...

Despite everything you're being told here, and the 6A is a great airplane, but it is not a good platform for IFR training, especially for a low time pilot. It is not a beginner aircraft. Things happen pretty fast. You can not punish the nose on a 6A. It will dig in, and pole vault. Treat...

What I said was twisted...again... I said......Vaping is not addictive as all get out. You can't throw a blanket over the subject like that......... I weaned myself off nicotine using the e-cig. I'm glad to see the youngsters vaping today, because it's a much better choice, with multitudes...

Vaping is not addictive as all get out. You can't throw a blanket over the subject like that. More myth. More bull..... from those that don't know, yet who are willing to spread untruth. The cigarettes and cigars I used to crave are addictive. Today, I honestly have the ability to put...

There's a ridiculous amount of nonsense said about vaping. Seems everybody is an expert. There are a multitude of different vaping systems. Depending, you can produce large clouds of vape, or virtually none at all. Contrary to popular myth....... Not all vape juice contains nicotine. You...

I'm getting a kick out of the indoctrination speak. Smoking bad = vaping bad. In response to the OP's question. In cars, over time, vaping does leave a film on exposed surfaces, and leaves a residue on cabin air filters. I'm by no means an expert, but would say, with the amount of air...

Really? How so?

You're sure about that?
