    Why do pilots push fuel endurance....

    I used to fly regularly between LZU and Jacksonville. 250 nm on the dot. I would not consider coming up short by 30 miles "pretty close." In a 152, that's a lotta time to not be aware of the predicament.

    Why do pilots push fuel endurance....

    I've heard it said that most fuel exhaustion events happen within a small radius around an airport. Anyone know if that's true? Madison is about 30 miles away from Lawrenceville, so he came up way short. When I was training, I arrived at LZU and heard the chatter of someone who had run out of...

    SE MEETUP- February 24 Lunch @ The Flying Machine (KLZU)

    Ooh! Can I get a ride with you? It was rough hearing The Flying Machine was having a hard time. I did all my training at LZU and was based there for quite a while. I'm in. Looking forward to seeing @write-stuff again. It's been ages! I'll see if I can scrounge up some other airport bums...

    Seriously Apple, slowing down older iphones?

    Whether iOS 11 is a buggy piece of crap or not wasn't the original topic. But I do not prefer to take the .0 version of any release. I'm not drinking any koolaid. I'm trying to relate the engineering issues that might be behind such a decision. I often liken engineering to squeezing a balloon -...

    Seriously Apple, slowing down older iphones?

    Move along, nothing to see here. Since devices don't have infinite power and resources, engineering trade offs have to be made. While it is true Apple doesn't offer iOS 11 for @olasek 's iPhone 5, the software feature was enabled in iOS 10.2.1 for 6, 6s, and SE models. The iphone 7 gets it in...
