I started with a 182-RG. Then I moved up to a Velocity. No way that I would ever go back to slower. :biggrin:

About the only time I mention MPG is if the wind is really howling. I was going from Dallas to Chicago at 8,500' one day and was seeing 23MPG. Of course if I was going the other way, it would have only been about 11MPG. But I was always burning 13GPH.

Even more so if the A&P who installed the ferry tanks wasn't an employee and just the shop that was selected to do the job.

I had one on my 182 not seal properly after sumping. Just kept dribbling. The A&P/IA came over with a plug. Pulled the valve, screwed in the plug. Took the valve to his shop and replaced the o-ring. Then came back and reinstalled it. Maybe lost a 1/2 pint of fuel total. He said doing...

Considering that Sully‘s plane took geese through both engines, you think that makes him the go to source of how to avoid hitting geese? In a helicopter?

Ask Sully what? So what insight could he provide on geese impacting the flight control system of a helicopter?

Granted, people have gotten restraining orders by lying. But it wouldn't take Perry Mason to show the police he was not circling above her. You know, because of flight tracking. And then she's in trouble to filing multiple false reports to the police. But instead he sold his plane? I think...

No, "we" don't need to do anything. There are accident investigators who are more experienced than us and have access to information that we don't have. "We" don't have to do anything but wait until the final report comes out. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "there you go again". One of those...

Wasn't an attack. Just an observation. And you don't have any "new information". So why don't you list all the incidents in the US where charter aircraft were taken over or crashed by an unvetted passenger. BTW, here's some new information (for you): the flight attendant was one of the 3...

Interesting... This guy joins and his first post is that we're all in danger of passengers on charter jets using them as weapons. What's next? No unvetted passengers in a 172? Remember that guy who was the aviation god? Demanded that every one call him "Viper". I think this guy will end...

Do you have an exit from your house through a cave with a hidden exit? Otherwise it's fairly easy for someone to know when you're not at home (if they really want to know).

Has to? Pretty big fire. And I’m pretty sure Sully had plenty of fuel when both engines stopped.

Sometimes the simplest solution is the best solution. With the caveat that it applies to reserved N-numbers.

I like to think that I'm ordinary folk. And you would not have found my personal address if you were to look up my Cessna registration. Although I do think there should be an "opt out" on address information for registering just like there is for a pilot certificate.

While it's true that anyone could make up a serial number, if on request, they can not produce any documentation that an aircraft is being built, they lose their reservation and any money paid in. Another possible add-on is to limit the number of reservations that a non-manufacture can reserve...

Not really. If the plane is under construction, there's a serial number. Requiring a serial number would cut down on this type of operation.

It is relatively easy for an attorney to pierce the protection that most people think a corporate veil provides.

The insurance broker that many Velocity owners use is Lima Bravo Aviation Insurance. Lee Blankenship knows about getting Velocity's insured. https://limabravoaviation.com/ As previously stated, other than spending money for no good reason, an LLC offers no benefits to private aircraft...

Except the address is for the registered agent which is rarely the person traveling in the plane.
