...............And, evidently, this has been going on for a few years. Why does the FAA continue to change the name or acronym for something EVERY day it seems? There must be an office of "maintaining confusion" in the FAA. They sure are good at it!

On my Cessna 185, I had to have good rubber seals around the landing gear springs/fuselage connection.

I have a Garmin Area 660 that quit and Garmin wouldn't help fix it AT ALL.

Thanks for that GREAT information!

I don't get it. I flew all sorts of "taildraggers" all my life. What is the difference between a "side" slip and a "forward" slip? A slip is a slip!!

I used to fly for the guy who wrote "Word" and Excel."

You would be looking for a King Air C-90......minimum!!

It used to be a Part 135 rule that you could wipe the frost smooth and depart...........and we often did in the King Air. But I always factored in about 10 knots of extra speed before I left the ground. Later, they changed that rule.

I was a friend of Hugh Rueschenberg (RIP), one of Amelia's flight instructors.

It is allowed anywhere it isn't disallowed. I landed on Spirt Lake one time and the Forest Service kicked me off/

I don't know why you abuse your airplanes, but idling at 1200 RPM and dragging your brakes is stupid. It would help if you had some dual from a knowledgeable instructor.

It is ridiculous to idle at 1200 RPM. I have thousands of hours flying piston engines, mostly on floats. If you idle a float plane at 1200 RPM you destroy the prop. Idle at idle!

Why are you idling @ 1000 RPM?

In the background is the Maryhill Museum......the source of the saying, "What the Sam Hill........"

There is a recent thread here on Grove......rather than hijacking that thread, here is my recollection. Old man "Grove" was a mechanic............forever. He did it all, engines, fabric, complete rebuilds, and overhauls. Trouble was, after he died the FAA found out he NEVER HAD a mechanics...

The one that gets me is "heat." One day one of Thermodynamics we learned there is no such thing as "heat."
