I second using heat shrink on a crimped terminal

@TCABM glad you caught the problem before any more damage occurred, or control problems in the air. Good eye @Dan Thomas on seeing the missing pin

Give your agent a call it sure could not hurt

A wile back I got a call from FSDO. I had aborted a TO because airspeed did not come alive when it should have. Ended up being a frozen pito tube. It was a friendly conversation, tower must have reported the aborted TO

Nice job PIC. Glad your family is safe Maybe your insurance company will ask for a teardown and inspection. It would be in their best interest to make sure you will not have future problems.

I use Tach or watch. Hobbs has not worked for some time....:lol::lol: Note to self: remove hobbs next time you are under instrument panel and install a timer..:rolleyes:

So here is a parallel example, In Juneau after a certain time of year the float pond is closed. I know lots of folks who use it when ATIS says it's closed. Tower will permit you to use the float pond, but it's at your own risk.

What about a baby nuclear power source. 1 cubic foot weighing 200 pounds that runs the motors instead of batteries....:rolleyes:

The injury had a lot to do with retiring. I may pick up some side work in the future. But for now I'm just get the house in order. We have lived here 25 years and have a lot of stuff that has not been used in years. I need to sort that stuff out and sell it or give it away. Hopefully this summer...

Welcome to POA from the Great White North....

Thanks for all the comments.. Tami and I talked, she has a friend who is a retired lawyer. Tami's friend said she would be more than happy to help us out with the Will for both of us. All is good, I officially retired 1-17-22. Just trying to let it all sink in. Hopefully I can fly a bit more...

Wondering if anyone has experience writing their own Will without a lawyer. I would think if you write a Will and get it notarized that should be all you need to do. I guess it depends on the state you live in and how the laws are set up. Again guessing I would think the Alaska laws would...

I was in a P3 squadron. I don't recall the max duration but I know 12 to 15 hours was not uncommon. When on station #4 was normally secured. #1,2,3 engines had generators #4 did not have a generator.

I started my PPL training there in the 90's. It was always a busy place back then. Narrow runway.. Job moved me 3 times during my PPL training.

The engineering department at a Washington state university built one out of composite material. There test showed it was 20% stronger than the original.

No real popular but the Beech B19, B23 and B24 are solid planes. Low in maintenance and priced fairly well in the market today. A lot of them have 2 doors. edit: Welcome to POA

Always thought the 310 was a very nice looking plane. Of course the DHC-2 Beaver does better were I live. ....:)

Sounds like Gremlins....:rolleyes: Seriously glad things worked out in your favor.

Accident 2 years ago. Lots to reflect upon. Sad it unfolded the way it did. edit: well not two years yet, I was looking at the 2020 date and not year & month.

:yeahthat: Very true, nail your speed. I always use full flaps. Adding a bit of power also helps. You will use up a bit more runway, but land smoothly.
