That’s the part I don’t get. I am a pilot for fun not for career. But my friends are pilots but for fun and doe careers. We talk about flying all the time, safety all the time. The career guys I know that’s all they talk about. We all talk about this kind of crap every time it happens. How...

thats a new place to sump fuel! 182H. Did my preflight. Got in and was just overwhelmed with fuel smell. Thought maybe where I dumped what I sumped. But when I was pulling door closed noticed this leak. Nice cracked dried out fuel line.

What’s the hourly range on a p210. Long time to be in a plane, dark and IMC. If never got on the LOC perhaps never really activated the approach?

As a PA I’m bummed to hear this. For 20+ years I have been very aware of my license limitations. When I have a patient looking for basic med I’ll just have one of my attending MD see and evaluate that day.

it’s kind of crazy that he lasted as long as he did. As a newer pilot you’d think he would be well away to stay away at all costs.

Almost looks like porpoising.

Any suggestions for a small tug for a 182H with wheel pants? As our membership ages it’s getting more and more of a pig to push around. What are some high end and low end options. I like the ones the scoop up the wheel but the pants screw Rhodes options up.

Another piece of the puzzle falls into place

So if he shut them down. What’s the time grime to restart. How much altitude they losing while restart? If the firebottles deployed no restart possibility correct? Wondering what crew could if he partly succeeded?

Problem I see with the question is that by the time you realize you want to circle due to traffic you have already been cleared for the approach AND have switched frequency to the local CTAF. You don’t have to cancel until you get on the ground though. Wouldn’t recommend you do a couple laps...

I think it was good that you have been flying and testing your limitations a bit. Never flying in IMC then going up in hard IMC can be a killer. First getting your IFR is a license to go scare yourself. Key is you are planning on learning from this. If you have an autopilot or a wing lever...

Would make a chilling air safety video.

It’s hard to grasp how someone with that much experience could be so far behind and inept from the start of the engine?? Having a 20 hour student in the right seat is more of a distraction. Actually sounded like he was relying on him to handle some of the workload of complex avionics!! I...

Sucks. All happened so fast. Time it would take to find suitable place. Field was seconds away. Just didn’t have those couple extra seconds.

for fun with unlimited money or perhaps a good donation to an A&P school to learn. But I don’t see a lot of places that you are getting good news. Good luck. Have fun!

Kudos to the passenger here. Bent metal but got it on the ground after the 79 yo pilot had a medical emergency. https://www.yahoo.com/news/passenger-takes-controls-small-airplane-115451578.html

Got to be a security camera somewhere on the field get this

Wonder what agency or govt can force oceangate to open the books so to speak and disclose. Operating in international waters not based out of US will like limit options of discovery right?

Don’t some part 135 ops have higher min depending on airport or situation??

But plane runs great!
