I absolutely despise SEE for a reason. These reasons. If I ever left MYF, I'd go to SDM before SEE. That audio is just absolutely terrible. Circling to 27R is not just challenging, but forbidden under IFR. He cancelled to circle. The LDA on 17 is 3695', which is 1000' shorter than the...

If you are taking off into low visibility, it is a very good idea. It would obviously depend on if you have a good option to go missed and still be able to land somewhere.

I get why single pilot makes sense for the types of operation these aircraft operate, but there's a reason single pilot jets require autopilot as part of their certification as such, and I'd argue that a Metro/Merlin is a much more complex machine to operate than a Phenom. Well, at least one...

When we did the G3x with the 2 screen solution, we went with the 650 because the 7" screen basically functions as everything the 750 does except primary nav.

I want that guy flying me. Everywhere. A donor is one possibility, but I'd imagine they can also work the metal back into place. Eh, summer in Anchorage still ain't that warm.

Have you seen what can happen to a CRJ-200 engine if it stalls? Now, you aren't going to see passenger flights conducted the way the Pinnacle crash was, but the inability to restart on those should give you as much pause as this, if you're so inclined. I think the main reason I'd stay away...

Yeah, no matter how nicely planes trim out, no matter how many check pilots hand flew beat up Barons and 210s through thunderstorms in the 70s and 80s, that's just a non-negotiable thing for me.

I see that the understanding of inflation in this thread is running close to the understanding of law. PIC is ALWAYS the final arbiter of safety, particularly outside Part 121 where flight planning decisions are made by the crew alone. Also, for the third or fourth time, lost wages is not...

Not to mention regulations that give primacy to PIC on any safety related decision. Sounds like the company has money. There may also be insurance. I looked up Kentucky's legal interest statute. 6% simple interest, compounded annually, on judgments. That's better than any bank has given...

I guess you missed my post. There are multiple components to damages, lost earnings is just one of them. Lost earnings also have components - past and future. We don't know if he's been out of work for the last 4 already, because that is when the jury found he was was wrongfully terminated...

Almost every, if not every, state has statutory, common law or a combination of both protections for people who protest or refuse to engage in violations of workplace safety and also legal regulations. This can be whistleblower or other OSHA related statutes. Refusing to fly an airplane in an...

I know there's a bunch of Bonanzas and Cirruses on that field that are gonna have a problem.

The claim is usually an increase in property values.

Is UL94 STC'd for anything bigger than an IO360? There are quite a few 6 cylinders there. That's not how property taxes work in California, but their entire MO has been this claim of lead poisoning, so there's no way they could redevelop the airport into housing without Superfund being there...

I guess I should stop being surprised at poorly taken reactions to this kind of thing from non-lawyers. I practice in this area of law and have actually met the lawyers who represented him at a conference, back when we had such nice things. They are excellent and quite respected in the field...

I'd love to see the gymnastics they engage in on that one, seeing that they cite as the reason they want to try and close being lead contamination and poisoning of children.

Here I was thinking we were laughing at bad plastic surgery :-P That's unfortunate at SEZ, since their only approach has pretty high mins. Would have been interesting to see the PDX flood. Wally was retired before the locusts were an issue :-P We haven't completely rid CA of you yet, but...

If you want to regularly travel with the kids and bags, you need a 6 seater or a Dakota/Pathfinder. Or a twin. How big are you guys? If you're smaller people, you might get away with something that others can't. The nice thing about a Mooney is you can trade gas for weight at a pretty...

This is an issue now for anyone wanting to fly into the rather busy KHHR. None of the approaches are available at night anymore, due to surface penetrations that the airport seems to not care about dealing with. The airport has an LPV approach with relatively high mins and the GP into the...

I'm not saying the IFDs are not better than a 430/530 - they definitely are. But I've seen enough in practice to see that en route navigation takes nearly as many keystrokes and/or knob turns, which puts a dampener on them. At this point, the IFD comparison is no longer with the legacy Garmin...
