    Helicopters in Ukraine

    Try to use some logic then and see how it works out for you. If you do try ( and it does kick in for you ) then you will notice that my response had nothing to do with the current situation in Ukraine but rather was directed at a study cited in another post claiming that standing up to...

    Helicopters in Ukraine

    Yes , we like to bring up Korea , Germany and Japan as often as we can but let’s not forget about Vietnam, Haiti, Grenada, Cuba, Somalia, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya , Panama … we made or at least attempted to make “them” pay very heavy price at one time or another in all of these...

    Helicopters in Ukraine

    Why are you so eager to fight Russia in the first place ? They are not invading Poland or Germany but rather trying to recover ( rightfully or not , I don’t really give a crap ) a remote piece of land that has no meaning to anyone except locals and has been part of various squabbles for...

    Helicopters in Ukraine

    What geopolitical rival ? We are outspending Russia 12 to 1 in terms of military spending and their only claim to parity is their nukes which, thankfully, are not a factor here. This is not a “rival” in any reasonable meaning of that word except as an excuse for spending billions which , I can’t...

    Helicopters in Ukraine

    Perhaps because we are broke as it is and asking why are we borrowing money from future generations to fuel a war a few thousand miles away is a valid question.

    I don’t even have a carb heat knob on my plane … ( the plane has , according to manufacturer data, full time carb heat )

    Three minutes twenty-four seconds.

    It is rare to get carb icing on Rotax engines …something about the underlying design that makes them significantly less susceptible but I don’t remember any details.

    Student pops the chute rather than the parking brake

    Pulling a red handle you know nothing about , especially a handle that has a sticker on it that says “BRS” … I don’t know , seems rather careless.

    Tailwheel or Instrument training?

    If you are flying for fun then the answer is neither - IFR is a chore rather than fun and flying a taildragger is like trying to prove that you can drive an inherently unstable car which in turn will supposedly make you a better driver overall when you move on to driving a normal and stable car...

    [World Tribune] Report: FAA quietly widened the EKG parameters for America’s pilots

    No, when a politician in charge here in my state (IL) says that “science” requires us to do X and then 15 minutes away in Indiana another high ranking politician says that “science” requires them to do something very different and both of them claim to follow best available medical information...

    [World Tribune] Report: FAA quietly widened the EKG parameters for America’s pilots

    I don’t know and I don’t care but somebody better do care and evaluate - as I said , we had politicians in similar position offering competing solutions ranging from no questions asked, complete lockdowns to “ here is the best info we have at the moment , please do your best ” - we need to know...

    [World Tribune] Report: FAA quietly widened the EKG parameters for America’s pilots

    Yes , one could say the same thing about, say, internment of Japanese American during ww2 - people in power making tough , unpopular decisions with limited information during particularly nasty and uncertain time … You can excuse anything with this sort of “I did my best at the time” attitude -...
