    Upcoming AD for many more PA-28 and PA-36 wing spars. 100 anomalies and 6 cracked wings found

    Watching the storm brewing, I understand your pessimism…

    That's it I am getting my clearances on the ground

    Whatever you do, avoid calling Leidos as best you can. In my experience they’re the clueless middleman at best.

    Piper Cherokee tire tube

    I’m a firm believer in Airstops and have had a few problems with AeroClassics, including a brand new one with a hole in it(replaced by Spruce, reluctantly). I talked with Desser at OSH and they suggested keeping their AeroClassics filled around 30-35psi, which is above book for my Warrior but...

    Zombie F-35 Mishap Report Out...

    I’m surprised this type of failure mode isn’t (repeatedly) practiced in the sim.

    I think Sac Arrow is a bot. Don’t feed the bots. :p

    Insight Wanted: Survey on Catastrophic Oil Leak Detection

    Reminds me of this thread, which was informative - and reassuring! https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/how-long-can-you-fly-without-oil.125633/

    Thank You for Your Service

    Not exactly sure what to say to this guy…(for those not familiar, an “Article 15” is a punishment for things not bad enough to warrant a jury trial) (Just saw this guy literally half an hour ago)

    Thank You for Your Service

    I should qualify my previous answers a bit. Here in Austin, the airport gives free parking for certain vets (based on certain medals plus for disabled, which I’m not). and a license plate is needed. That has saved me well north of $1,000 so far, so I have the plates.

    :yeahthat: Exactly the same for me

    Thank You for Your Service

    Please do not misread any negative in my response - not intended. Objectively, if one is wearing a WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Air Force/Army/Navy/Marine or whatever cap, they’re pretty clearly communicating they want to be recognized for that service. Even if one was drafted, if they’re...

    C182 v 737 KAUS Oct16 2024 RA

    From pix of posts above: “If they implemented something like you mentioned, I'd bet 90% of our safety issues would go away overnight” Which one at AUS a while ago was squawking 1200: the SWA departing or the FedEx about to land on them?

    I wonder if we should hope they don’t read forums like this and get some idea of how much pilots who haven’t met them apparently despise them; their quite normal human reaction would probably not be to our benefit. Hopefully they’re bigger/better than that…;)

    And so it goes..

    Sincerely appreciate the question. I did, including a limited discussion re the flying stuff. Ultimately I completely owned the decision. Given my low risk, I figured the most likely risk was to get started on a statin. Yeah- I lucked out. I’m not an expert re these tests. I do wonder if...

    And so it goes..

    Thanks for your response and concern. He's actually a peer (we're both Family Practitioners) and I'm 100% sure both that he got no kickback from the test and he does a superlative job trying to follow the best science - which is why I remain his patient. This is an ever-evolving area of...

    Pilot threatened with arrest for helping NC victims of Hurricane Helene...excuse me?

    Ask Florida about that idea Thursday morning...

    And so it goes..

    While I agree, things are a bit muddied by the American College of Cardiology. While they don't "strongly advocate" for a CAC, they do suggest the study is "reasonable...to guide clinician-patient risk discussion"...

    Pilot threatened with arrest for helping NC victims of Hurricane Helene...excuse me?

    Add: don't forget this quote from that article: "While the sick and elderly residents of Bat Cave were airlifted to safety a week ago, those left behind have seen virtually no sign of government agencies, save for a handful of Louisiana state troopers “keeping an eye on everything,” who locals...

    Pilot threatened with arrest for helping NC victims of Hurricane Helene...excuse me?

    We actually agree on a lot of this. The trick is where to draw the line: is having a fire department part of the “nanny state”? In years past they were private and in competition with each other (there’s a scene near the end of Gangs of New York that opened my eyes to that), so, theoretically...
