    These folks need to be stopped.

    Those who are constantly changing the newspeak dictionary simply want the power over others that comes from (constantly) correcting them. Those corrected are wrong; ergo those correcting are right, and inherently (perceived, at least) superior. In response, may I suggest: - Saul Alinsky, Rules...

    6 month currency

    Is it possible that you have some mix already in your log book, and doing it his way would require you to spend more time and money using their services?

    Cigar cuts..??

    My preferred smoke is an Excalibur, box pressed, where available, in maduro or oscuro wrapper. If not prensado, another of their robusto sizes. I most like to use a punch with that, for a clean tip that doesn't flake off shards of filler or wrapper; V-cuts do that a lot to me. Straight cuts...

    [NA] I don't understand One Drive

    I misunderstood you there. I thought you were suggesting he create private NAS with web access.

    [NA] I don't understand One Drive

    Wouldn't a Private browsing window let you do that?

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    Well you youself said so, so that ends it. Would that we all could be legends in our own minds.

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    That's the best you can do? If you're not even going to try to have a conversation, I don't see why I should, either. Keep preaching to an amen choir. Unless my ET example inadvertently hit a nerve? :rofl:

    Run up area

    "IvoryTower Ground, Bugsmasher N1234A -- I can only pilot one aircraft at a time, which is ready for departure. If you're forcing me to guess, I'd guess that the pilot of those other aircraft which pulled into the runup area will call you when they are ready for departure. Was I not cleared to...

    So many professionals who need to reacquaint themselves with the Goldwater Rule.

    SSRI Deferral/Round 2 Application for Class 3 Medical

    Did "active alcoholic" come from the same source as your ".01 pct" statistic?

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    "myan75 is an extra terrestrial lifeform." Someone wrote something down. That makes it true? I hold doctorate level degrees, have passed government mandated tests of competency in my field, and am afforded privileges that flow from this granted to me by government which are not afforded every...

    Its ALL OUR sandbox. The bureaucrats are the ones who have to justify their existence.

    I Believe We Are Doing This Wrong

    But look at the cc/HP chart I linked above. A top fuel dragster engine gets torn down and rebuilt after every run -- not practical for our purposes -- but it puts out 1 HP per cc. Those "loafing" car engines put out 1 HP per 15cc. An IO-360 @ 200 HP is just under 1 HP per 30cc. Likewise an...

    Did not know about ADHD restrictions when I got my medical. What do I do?

    Meaning that some individual, to whom the state had granted authority to authorize the sale of controlled substances, wrote down a diagnosis to facilitate said sale, including the partial reimbursement of the costs involved by an insurer, the costs to include their fee. I have a memory of Bill...

    100% T&P va rating and a 1st class medical

    I'm confident that's a rigorously sourced statistic. :rolleyes:

    I Believe We Are Doing This Wrong

    But what if they were largely the same engine? I'm actually partial to the diesel engines because they completely sidestep the 100LL problem. Everyone on the airport could use one fuel.

    If they had, who could they sell it to without spending 6-7 figure$$ on certification?

    I Believe We Are Doing This Wrong

    Yes, you can buy rebuilt auto engines. Replacement is only viable because of the price of a new one is so low. Are you sure we disagree here? A new top of the line Honda minivan is $50k. A new F150 is about $60k. (De gustibus, non disputandam.) Those are factory new vehicles; not decades old...

    100% T&P va rating and a 1st class medical

    Maybe because -- no matter how super-human we think that pilots like us are -- the level of physical ability required to effectively fight in combat is different than the level required to drive a winged bus?
