A Continental O-470 has a nice loping sound at idle as well.

I've got a 1955 Cessna 180, I see no problem with buying an older Cessna as long as it gets a good inspection.

Yet one more on the how much to tip list that I will completely ignore.

You might consider a firewall mounted lightweight battery. I've got one and it works very well, shorter cable runs by 10-12 feet and takes something like 17 pounds off of the airplane.

One of our FOs flies his Cardinal RG in there several times a month to go to work (he lives in Laughlin) he has never reported any issues. He even has some kind of deal worked out with the FBO for relatively cheap parking.

Not, well maybe a TURBO Beaver.:devil:

Cessna 180.

Absolutely, they also required a read back acknowledging the low altimeter setting.

Info stuff, GE=gear extend, F28=flaps 28, SR=slat retract. Depending on configuration there are others, the meanings are similar.

That would be it.

In case anyone wonders, those two diamonds to the right of the airplane symbol are a FedEx and a Cathay 777 ahead of us. They had us keep the speed up to close the distance between us and the second 777. Lots of traffic behind us and 7R was closed.

Speed was assigned by ATC.

I've had a PA-22/20 on floats for years. It is currently undergoing a complete rebuild. Fabric was fine, it's the steel underneath it that is the problem.

Quyat Erp Barfing Bags are the best.

Actually the surface wind was pretty much calm.

Exactly! An altimeter a full inch below standard. We've all seen low altimeter settings before but this low is pretty rare. Imagine an IFR approach with 29.88 set instead of 28.88.

Well that is because we are on radar vectors for the ILS. I'll give you guys a hint, it's serious enough the ATIS has a warning about it and there is a mnemonic about it in training.

We call those the "Whiskers" or more accurately they are pitch limit indicators. They very precisely show the pitch where you will get stick shaker. The airplane is an MD11, but pretty much all transport category jets use similar displays.

4 degrees nose up is normal for slats extended. All ops are normal at this point there is just one unusual thing that could get you in trouble.

This was going into PANC on Sunday. Nothing crazy rare but something to be aware of.
