    Plane crash on FL freeway

    A lot of interstates here in Florida do have dividers made of wires in the grass median. I think you can make them out on the video.

    Plane crash on FL freeway

    I also think inadvertent fuel shutoff makes the most sense. I really do enjoy the speculation and for someone like me that has only limited experience, learning how these systems work is very interesting. I just like furthering my aviation knowledge and I prefer these discussions over the FB ones.

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    I agree with this because I was so paranoid while learning that I would be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Here in Florida from where I live west is the gulf. Even now, whenever I fly to a new place, I make sure to visually check on Foreflight which way i'm coming from. Hell I even got a...

    Thinking about an EV (nvm, bought one)

    I've been driving a 2021 iD4 and it's been a great car. My wife drives an eTron. I drive about 6 mi a day and she does at least 60 and sometimes way more. We also added solar panels going on 2 yrs ago. I estimate we save about $300 in gas a month and another couple hundred in electrical bills. I...

    I'll add.... knife warning on avocados so that people don't stab their hands trying to get the pit out with a knife. Is this related to percentage/proportionate liability when it comes to accidents like the zoo was found 25% liable because they didn't have a gate high enough to prevent that...

    Beechcraft Baron 55 down in Leyden MA, triple fatal

    I think the issue here is that some of these accidents are not just biting CFIs, but some really seasoned pilots. Wasn't there one recently where the DPE was one of those involved?

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Not to go on another tangent but I think what I have seen over the many years that I have been alive is the inability to solve problems or even figure out how to go about finding answers for problems. I do think that this touches on the car manuals. I was driving one day and I noticed a light...

    Glider Pilot vs. Private Pilot Skills

    I disagree here and I do have about 8 hrs of flight time in gliders and have solo'd as well. Sue you have to be congnisant of the weather and your energy but there is much more to learn in the powered airplane. The complexity with the motors and fuel systems for one and not including taxiing...

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    The plane that I fly has a similar century AP and the first thing I did was to download the manual of the AP and the second was to learn how to shut it off. I don't use it because it has problems in tracking and randomly shutting off. I am partial to paper tbh and it sucked when my yearly...

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Well I think it's more than that. It goes back to her crossing intersections without stopping. I just don't really think she cared to pay attention and that is dangerous especially around another airport. She rather fiddle around with the gps than to fly a normal heading. Yours was much better.

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    It's funny that you say that since I have heard that all the driving gizmos i.e backup cameras, proximity sensors and auto drive have made kids poor drivers since they rely too heavily on these things.
