That was my feeling as well, I just wanted to make sure since it could be asked in an emergency landing scenario

Hi all - Flying a 172RG for a checkride coming up. Looking thru the POH, it has numbers listed for best glide and emergency landing airspeeds. What it doesn't indicate is if best glide is calculated with the wheels up or down. Through experience, the plane is VERY draggy with the gear out so...

Yellow Arrows FTW

Early on he was cleared below the bravo, halfway thru he was cleared into the bravo at or below 1900 but he was already in the approach corridor. If he was cleared over the threshold of 4R/4L there would have been no impact to the approach and no wake.

Trying. Not. To. Say. Anything. Inappropriate....

They all handled that well. Would have been nice of the controller to let the Piper over-fly the threshold at 1900 rather than 3 miles west but I'm sure they had their reasons...

I don't know if Fisher Aviation is still around at KCDW but they were a really good outfit

Pasted from the Airline History Museum's Facebook page: Airline History Museum at Kansas City Wheeler Downtown airport, needs your help. Signature Flight Support wants to close the museum. Why...You might ask? Well we don’t know. We are written into the master lease and are a tenant through...

and taxiing...

Not really, mostly just scrounged hardware from ebay.

I built my own (see my avatar) and used PilotEdge.net extensively during my instrument training. Saved me lots of $$ in training and is an amazing proficiency tool.

I try not to land on porpoise.

Ride of the Valkyries

Swing and a miss

Nope, want no part of the John Denver... bad pilot juju right there...

I've never bounced a landing. (when flying the proper airspeed and descent rate)

I did much of my IFR training at night (winter and I work 9-5) so I did experience SD under the hood but yeah...in the daytime, having the shadows on the panel alone is enough to dispel any serious SD.

Yep, his video on Lazy 8s really made it click for me. I was tying to fly it by the formula described in the PHOAK. Pick reference points, bank 5 degrees, pitch up 5, until at the 45 degree marker, increase bank to 30 degrees and pull back yada yada yada. WAY too complicated. Another thing...

I dunno? Dead squirrel on the taxiway? Either way, my question has been more than answered... : )
