I don't know. I don't fly for that airline (but I have a brother that does). I think it lends a little more credence that the pilots and the union were saying this was unsafe and is going to cause an incident prior to the JFK runway incursion. I understand that the crew is mostly to blame...

A few weeks ago, American Airlines changed some pilot procedures and there were some news stories about how the pilots and their union weren't happy with the changes and how they were implemented...

Drone delivery is being tested here in the Phoenix area. Residents are not happy with the noise. https://www.dropbox.com/s/88vnl0yx8tu6dmm/redditsave.com_walmart_drone_delivery_testing-vph7e2dzr2ba1.MP4?dl=0 And the poster said it sounded much louder in person than it does in the video.

When I did my pre-buy on my Seneca, I used the Savvy pre-buy service. Since I was going to be a new owner, I wanted some back up to validate what was found during the pre-buy. Savvy has a pretty good article on pre-buys versus annuals and why the two are and should be different...

I don't know if there are too many chambers any more. When I was getting out back in 2016 the Aerospace Physiology folks started using a machine to simulate hypoxia. Basically wearing a mask that would decrease the O2 content of what you were breathing to match being at altitude. It just isn't...

I agree. That's why I said it doesn't change the fact that the FAA f'd up. But, does the fact that the complainant is a pilot lend more credence to the complaint? It's someone who probably knows what a crop duster is, and where it should be flying low and where it shouldn't.

It seems like everyone missed the fact that the complainant is also a pilot. Not that it changes the circumstances that the FAA f'd up, but maybe it lends a little more creedance to his complaint. "The cell phone video, taken by the homeowner, himself a pilot, showed a red-and-white agplane...

Aha! Now I remember where I saw your user name before. You’re on the Dan Gryder thread in the mishap page extolling the virtues of Dan and Alex Jones. I wish I had remembered that hours ago. It would have explained a lot and saved me a bunch of time…

Try this. It’s an updated list of rental aircraft in the Valley. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PqQqMlqOCvtGUXI8k0Crwo5Bj2jwH-GBwRy0W2EDXww/edit

Found the smooth-brained science denier. You’re clearly in the “don’t know ****” group. I’m out.

Agree, but what also matters quite a bit is the age of the person being exposed. Children are extremely susceptible to lead poisoning and the effects are well documented on the harm lead ingestion has on children’s mental development. Even small amounts have a deleterious effect.

@John-Paul Townsend, is there going to be a current list of airports that have the G100UL fuel that could be referenced for planning?

I did. My apologies. I corrected my post. Thank you.

I can tell you're mind is made up. "I have seen nothing to show 100LL is causing any actual quantifiable damage." Of course you haven't. Because you probably haven't cared to read any of the published data. It's obvious you didn't read the study in the link I posted, because if you did, you...

It depends on if you believe the studies. If you do, then yes, it is harmful. If you don't, then there's nothing anyone is going to say that will change your mind. I've posted studies online to people who are adamant that there's zero harm from burning leaded gas, and their response is...

Disagree. Besides the obvious health and environmental benefits, unleaded fuel will actually be better for the engines (and less time cleaning underneath the nacelles). I, for one, can't wait for unleaded fuel to get to my airport. Having said that, I probably won't buy the STC until I know...

Yeah, I'm sure they will come up with something else. But if for years all they did was use leaded fuel as their excuse to close the airport (which I agree with... not the airport closure, but the harmful effects of lead), then when the lead goes away and they pivot all of a sudden to something...

Thanks. That adds a bunch of clarity to our question. I appreciate it.

This is kind of the crux of my question. Tower tells me it's back up and running. I get that. I wouldn't use a NAVAID that was NOTAM'd OTS unless getting confirmation it's accurate. This whole academic scenario came from a discussion I was having with another airline captain buddy of mine. His...
