Thanks. Yes, exactly this.

Just remember, the "full rich" is setup for a go around. If you enrich it a nudge or two, your going to be very lean and not making full power when you firewall the throttle due to the wild pigs running across the runway (that's a texas thing, right?). Best case you'll quickly notice and also...

So, I was wrong about the controller being the decision point. Someone posted a reference making it clear that it's 100% on the pilot. That said, the controller is altering the flight rules. They are to give IFR priority, but it seems like it's also true that once they've given the SVFR to the...

That's a good point. If you pull the mix off, let the engine starve, then pull the throttle and push the mix back in until the engine catches again, no pops!

Disagree. The controller should not be altering the flight rules for other aircraft (as you note, svfr clearance does affect other IFR arrivals) when the request is meritless. If conditions are VMC the controllers job is to run the airport in accordance with those conditions. Not issue a SVFR...

And many, many people never get the care they need in the first place.

I had forgotten about those! Another culture change is that 40 years ago most people thought that looked cool, free spirited and edgy. Now it just looks like an ER visit and a DOA form to fill out!

It wouldn't be.

I think OP isn't violating any regs, but even if he were, your comment is right on the money. Fly safely first. Legally second. Fortunately, the VAST majority of the time those two things are well aligned. But if you find yourself in a position of having to choose safe/illegal versus...

I'm drooling over that burger...

#facts :p

So, any other questions?

And get arrested for unsafe dropping of objects from an airplane! Seems like it's always the secondary crime (e.g. tax evasion) that gets people... :p

There are lots of places with openings or, at least affordable options. The list gets a lot smaller when trimmed to places you would want to live.

If you think this is a modern thing, or increasing in any meaningful way, you need to read more history. There is a reason it's super challenging to read books from only 500 years ago, and it isn't because language only started becoming deconstructed, repurposed, and repackaged for political and...

And, ironically, sounds like a cheap piece of junk when operating. IMO it's a rig that looks like it came out of a late 90's shop class having a battle bots competition and the builder thought to himself, "well, I already spent $450 on parts for this thing, I might as well mark it up tenfold and...

Sign me up! That's hilariously awesome.

Wasn't it established post 9/11? Or was that just the larger restricted zone?
