    Donate Plane

    First and foremost, by resisting any attempts by the airlines to privatize and run ATC.

    Starting training again

    Most Cherokees have a wheel between the seats.

    Starting training again

    In exactly 3.0 miserable logbook hours in a 172, with exactly two door closures, I can say that it was more like 52 times.

    Donate Plane

    AOPA's lobbying efforts have kept our skies much safer and more open for GA. ADS-B is the least of my concerns - it makes my life easier.

    Starting training again

    Yay participation medal! I blame the weird MPH/KTS ASI. And it wasn't significant, just enough to say "hey, I thought these things were supposed to go thunk."

    Donate Plane

    Eh, new avionics are a good thing. It isn't like they're going to stop spinning it. This way, they can actually fly the airplane reliably to and from events and otherwise keep the missions safer if they need an IFR. I don't think that is true at all. I'm sure he can fold a piece of paper...

    I've made a Hershey Bar Arrow float. Do I get a cookie?

    Cirrus into the drink, 1/13, South Carolina

    I knew I saw ACME written on three chute I know a guy who says he'll pull with the runway made.

    First plane

    A Cherokee 180 is basically a perfect first plane if you are training on it. Forgiving, fast enough, great climb, easy stall, stable. Rent the the retract for 10-25 hours on your way to an instrument

    Starting training again

    Cessnas are easier to land. Cherokees are easier to land well. Cessnas allow for less speed discipline, but require more rudder discipline. Cherokees teach you better for airplanes that require flying the numbers. Cherokees handle much better than 172s and the manual flaps are something I wish...

    15 yr old High-functioning autism

    Dr. Chien has posted that he got a couple of high functioning Aspberger's patients first class medicals. That's what I recall anyway. You should definitely see about consulting him.

    DA40 owners: flight over mountains?

    If you don't already have a SureFly, you should get one. My Tiger's performance at altitude markedly increased

    Alton bay ice runway

    I know of Cirrus and Grumman drivers who have landed there with no problem, with their fast pants on.

    Flight following - not sure why I didn't use it before

    Yup. Also, it is likely that if the frequency is that busy, there is nearby frequency that can take radar on you and get you in the system.

    Engine guages modernization

    Definitely not more accurate, given all the cylinder issues my mechanic sees on EI planes vs JPI planes. But I've 1) not made such a claim, and 2) have actually flown with Jerry, so your strawman must be relying on alternate facts...or perhaps alternate minimums.

    Engine guages modernization

    EI makes you feel better about temps, because they record lower.

    When to pull throttle idle on landing.

    No, I was pretty s#!11y at first. My instructor ultimately gave me 5, but crosswinds were something I worked on like crazy and I pride myself on them now.
