...that's a really cool foreflight feature!

What is abusive about power off 180 or short field landing practice? The rest of it would make me not want to fly the thing at all, checkride or otherwise.

If you're W2 now, contemplate any loans you'd want to take out (mortgage, cars, home equity, whatever) and get them done now. Everything about working for yourself is awesome, except getting loans and having pinheads examine your books and need endless mansplainings before the ultimate denial...

I'm sat here bleary-eyed after 10 days off from all my clients, about to enter the first of a barrage of zooms, teams meetings, and other corporate dreck, and I am wondering... how anyone could greet the post-holiday season with enthusiasm :D Taking a week off just makes me want to take more...

It's clickbait, but in analog form that you can carry around everywhere without need for wifi or a charger. What a time to be alive. :D

You wouldn't. I am thinking about those of us who use the 2/3 of the 100LL currently and can't run lower octanes in our motors. I would expect this to create a "one tank, two fuels" scenario which gets lead out of the delivery infrastructure, makes the local Karens find something else to use to...

Can TEL be injected at the fuel pump like Prist? Can we ship 94UL everywhere, claim to have "Banned the sale of leaded aviation fuels", then let the plane owner inject it back in as an approved fuel additive?

Finally ran across the subject thread. Woof. I think this was a righteous banhammering.

I've always thought one should go with the other. Then you have a "cost" to the banhammer, if the user has added value at all to a forum, then moderators are forced to weigh losing those contributions. Seems only fair. I have no idea who "Captain" is, so clearly I am not bereaved :D

The more I think about this, the more puzzled I am by the partner's requirement. What large item fits nicely in the 421 but not in the 310?

Someone is in an airline R&D labcoat right now trying to pierce that "inedible" claim of yours. :D I assume the actual root cause here is ATC staffing problems, and the airlines are just punching down? Tacky, but.. :dunno: We're not gonna fare well if airspace/ATC resources start to get...

166.5. About half of last year. I think I'm losing interest in aviation again. I find my eye casting about at other, newer hobbies, and I identify as boat-curious now. Obnoxiously, my means is also up, so I am ALSO looking around at certain little turbine planes with interest. It's a real...

Plane ownership is its own skill and should probably have its own checkride. Buying a plane without a fund of knowledge or access to mentors and experts would be like taking that checkride cold with zero training. With that in mind, unless "plane owner" is a certification you're working...

The 150k CapEx is going to limit you to some real lackluster planes in the 58 series. I'd fix the partner or abandon the idea before trying to switch to a Be58 for that money. And I am a Beech snob.

Worth it to you. This is a common thing now where I live and it's mildly annoying -- mainly because people here are about as nimble at backing into a parking space as they are with parallel parking, and I get to sit while they get it kinda sorta right on the fifth try. Not directed at you of...

Irrefutable -- increasingly idiot-proofed cars acknowledges the number of idiots on the roads. Set the bar higher for a driving license, and require recurrent testing to maintain it, and you can keep better and more interesting cars. Til then, they will all gravitate towards the rolling...

:) You shouldn't yuck somebody else's yum.

I'm trying to understand who on this board wants to receive a PM from some rando non-contributor with 3 posts in as many years. I feel like the forum "protections" are working, but there is probably some edge case I am not thinking about.

This reeks of Aztec to me on the surface, but without details about what defines a decent load, if you want pressurization, and number of pax, I can't really comment further. Turbine twins generally have lower CapEx than turbine singles. Get a Beech 99, they pop up every so often for about...

Ugh, if I went to sleep in that oscar-flavored grouchskin, I'd wake up in a puddle of my own broth. Who the hell are these for? Some dickensian loft resident with no heat, but somehow, access to amazon prime?
