but isn’t the last part of the control ability definition “regardless of it’s stability”?

with you on movement area, but for slips...you slip to the side, you slip forward. Seems consistent and right. If I stand facing something and move to the side (slipping sideways) I move to the side but still face forward. Forward (slipping by someone in a crowd) I move sideways, face at an...

May also weigh in favor of fields if automated autos become more prevalent. Thinking they aren’t designing in any “heads up” software for planes coming in on the highway.

Sorry if I overlooked it, but where is your website? Link?

I think that is still pretty impressive from the time. wonder how much pressure they had, temptation to release the new one now, when so many folks were going stir crazy in stay-at-home.

So, what did it cost? If you don’t want to be specific for some reason, ballpark? Talking hundreds, or ??

This, for sure for me. It isn’t just having them fly out the window, in my experience you wear glasses and we don’t do a pre-flight check of our glasses...most often really I wear my glasses and think all is fine and either the stem breaks suddenly, or a lens pops out. Either one would make it...

I’m not sure if it is club rules, or actually a requirement from my med that I have to have an extra pair. I buy cheap reading glasses, and they definitely can suddenly fall apart, usually the stems break off. Or the screw backs out holding them. Maybe it’s unlikely that they fly out the...

I shoulda thunk some more. Reading max gross and thinking it was empty weight. Sorry, thanks for the reply.

Norway has discontinued flight school flying for now...since you can’t easily keep two meters from each other, unless the CFI is willing to dangle outside on the strut, which he says he isn’t. Not sure how it is at other schools, but here we can always buy our own headset, but most students...

Weird that gross weight is listed the same. Also seems to get ten miles more distance with them on. I didn’t know they weighed that much, I believe you, but they weight SOMETHING, so unless they removed something else I don’t get the gross being the same.

Actually I’ve recently been wondering, because of POA, if some birds are better pilots than others. Like if some birds aren’t quite as elegant, maybe even clumsy. Do the other birds all talk about the one, “no situational awareness”? Also, with watching them successfully land on a telephone...

Damn, took me this long to realize I should have squawked as I said it was ok to hijack :-) 7500 7500 7500 7500 Seriously, lots of good info here. I already really got the answers I was looking for. But lots more has been helpful to know about as well.

hijack away, it’s all of interest!

yeah, from me too. I haven’t weighed in after posting, but only because lots of good advice here, and reading material, and solid answers, so no need to follow up more. As always, thanks guys!

In our club we use checklists. Major point in it is full rich.

All flying I have done so far has been full mixture for takeoffs, landing, and maneuvers (most of the time) at or under 3000’. Really the only time flying and leaning the mixture is cruising to the air works area and back. That so far has been only set rpm (2200) and lean. So I wondered, on...

yeah, he definitely did a great job. My take away was mainly his frank discussion of the thought process. That they both repeatedly mentioned the “hopeful optimistic” part can be a problem, if he had tried as much as he wanted to, to make the field. Also that the engine coming back to life...

good point, but even so don’t you think he should have gotten a debrief where the instructor told him exactly what he did to get to that point? Just in the interest of educating him? Maybe it isn’t his job, I don’t know, but it is information that would be useful for him, no?

well, except shouldn’t the instructor be able to see it going bad a little more ahead of time, maybe comment first, correct the student? Why wait until even taking over controls would mean slamming into the ground? Or if it was just wrong, advise “do a go around”? Also it bothers me a lot that...
