truly, to a canary a cat is a monster. The turn diameter of a CatA lawnmower at 30* and 90knots is .4NM. At 120kts it's 3/4NM. I mean this with empathy because I was once a low-time neophyte, but some of you folks may just be too jittery for this endeavor. I don't expect people to do what we do...

Late decision to take the aircraft, especially if under the proferred rationalization that 'oh I'm just trying to create a teaching moment', it's a boilerplate instructor error, not student error. The former rationalization is a cope anyways; a greenhorn instructor largely lacks the higher...

I cried because I didn't bend it. turns out ....my username checked.

yup yup. Let's goooooooo! :biggrin:

right after summer vacation season, kids back in school, winter weather grounds half the country 3 months later. that said, this is not what this is about. This is the economy finally telling the heroin addicts, last call. The organic sales are coming. Sellers are clowns, but liquidity is going...

Yours is the lords work. My wife has shown me some of the pictorials of pre-surgical of one of her ACU patients, following a failed suicide attempt by shotgun. True miracle workers. lost eyesigh and hearing on most of it, but the mere fact he's still alive and even facially recognizable as a...

You're not kidding. @Fearless Tower comes to mind. From my understanding he tried a small go at the fly for money thing and though I won't put words in his mouth, it's my understanding he went back to teaching boat driving for the USN + Naval Reserves (flippin' black shoes i tell ya... I keed I...

**TLDR warning** BLUF: no, CFI work in civilian side doesn't pay crap in the aggregate, as a median. I've tried, can't make the numbers work. If you're still reading.....(long) So I resemble the remark in more ways than one. 18 years and counting for me, except I've been an actual career...

apropos of nothing, that was the plan of the guy who sold me the arrow way back when pepperidge farms remembers. Upgrade to "fEekY" Seneca to fly his traveling CRNA wife to the MI UP....thankfully they put the money for a comm real estate downpayment instead. Failed hotel venture, she stopped...

nah, don't cancel, you just can't log sole manipulator of the controls on this one. Reminds me of my days in the BUFF, way too many paws in the pot (most with about the same dexterity I'd expect those canines to give ya in IMC..and lords knows it's way too soon for a "B-one" and canines...

I hear ya, been giving myself a pretty hefty paycut last 10 years. I know it's not rational, but the thought of it just cramps my stomach, hearts start racing, vision goes starry then everything goes dark for me. I usually wake up to my wife's face, her hand holding my head off the floor, and...

The oft prescribed method was to chop power and concentrate on keeping wings level while trimming to a set common-to-you speed, like 70-90kts on most of these lawnmowers. Spam can POHs had such verbiage in their emergency procedures to said effect.

why is this thread empty...ooooooh. :fingerwag:

indeed it would be, as post 19 highlights.

yup, make slant-India great again. That quantum compass bit looks promising. Not that it will solve the recreational aviation affordabibility issue since the solution would likely be mired in cErtIfiEd cost potato morass, so this may all be moot.

in my anecdotal experience, ground not-in-motion coverage wasn't significantly cheaper than "full hull", which is the cost being complained about. Liability only does provide significant savings, as posted in anecdotes above. That kind [grnd not in mot] of coverage would make sense for a hangar...

nope, that's velocities, not experimentals as a cohort. some Lancairs also fall in that category. RVs are considered ho hum and cheaper to insure by comparison. Paging @Velocity173 , he can provide context on this topic, as he provided me the data in confidence, I won't speak on his behalf in...

yeah post #18 beat ya to it. Most missed the reference, which was low-key and well-played. All in all, warms my heart to see so many Office Space references. Quite formative to my eventual vocational path pivot (and the ironic frustrations with it henceforth). --brk brk-- yeah the true...

in the usaf side we call them FCIF. (Flight Crew Information Files). Most are advisory, a good chunk are no-step items if not read and acknowledged as read in the system. Far from perfect, didn't help the B-1 crew not...bone it up... -good night folks I'm here all week! *trips on mic cable*...

are there acro capable ultralights? Asking for a friend, and no he's not suicidal. :fingerwag:
