Then who's fault is it?

So, he should have parked on the runway I guess.

He parked on public property and used no services. I think you’re wrong

I support any attempt to make it difficult for FBO's to collect in this manner. Even if you end up paying them, make them work for it. Dispute that payment with your cc issuer.

They should be giving a discount for people that do recurring training. Dumb-asses.

They must complain. Ok, follow me here, I'm applying Cap'n Jack logic to this. If they didn't complain, then there wouldn't be improvement, and the government can't accept criticism that there was no improvement, therefore, those that don't complain must be killed so that the government can't be...

That would happen to me no more than once per student.

They were selling them from a booth at sun-n-fun. You can get them used on craigslist. You can get them on the internet. Google it.

I thought maybe I was being too subtle. Glad somebody got it.

Schrödinger's crack.

I had to chuckle at Fox Xray who complained about pilots not using standard phraseology and then said "Say no joy". That might be commonly understood, but I believe the standard phraseology would be "negative contact", would it not?

They probably all do center the wheel, which is why it's "good enough for this conversation", but not all do it with a cam.

True for the vast majority, and I think good enough for this conversation, but not true of every aircraft.

Calling an apple an orange is more accurate than calling it Swiss cheese.

I’m thinking that twins will keep our singles running longer. Every twin that stops flying is two more engine cores for the used single market. Unless you already have 200 hours of multi, buying a twin is utterly impractical. The cost of getting 200 hours of multi is almost as much as the...

If you have a 265 hp engine, but limit power at sea level to 200 hp and then at altitude allow full throttle so that you are getting 75% HP, isn’t it really a 200 HP engine? Seriously though, it’s the same problem as turbo. Easy for an operator to over boost. Often no apparent, immediate...

I have a buddy that would probably bug you. He flies “niner triple niner sierra” but maybe not since his is actually shorter. But how many nines is that?

Your premise is that China has a superior safety record, and what’s more, that it’s due to the government killing anyone that has an accident? But not that accidents are covered up by the government. Nah, they’d never falsify a safety record to make them look better. Pretty funny stuff.

A tiny tourism operation (in china, very different risk acceptance) doing very short sight flights, not yet in full swing is not impressive. It’s kind of a sign of how wrong you are frankly.
