Real off-road requires a Toyota Land Cruiser.... picture from near Berbera, Somalia. More places can fix a Toyota too.

I was working on the Sport Class Ramp this week as a volunteer. I hope they are able to continue as they have an event coming up next month in a new location as part of finding a new home.

I live in Reno and soloed at Stead airport. The people who live there moved into their homes knowing that the races have been taking place every September since the 1960s. I have friends who moved there because of the races.

I live in Nevada and we don’t have grass. My grass runway landings are in Illinois, Texas, and Georgia. My students here have no grass options.

Yup. Still part of CPL. I was doing them with a student a couple weeks ago.

I do this with students too (intercepting an airway between fixes). What are the other 5 you do?

I have Instrument students that I have to take on XC flights just to build time. We don’t file, but do work on clearances, re-routes, etc, as they have trouble getting to 50 hours XC. Of course they get 4 or 5 on the real IR XC as we generally go from Reno over the Sierras or to Oregon/Idaho to...

I managed to find some at a John Deere dealer in Oregon. I was told 3-4 months to get the supply back. West Marine also has some for $45 per 13oz can.

I have lived in Northern Nevada most of my life except for a decade overseas. You could not pay me enough to attend Burning Man. It rained here most of the day and I would guess it will be mid week before the playa starts to really dry out.

No way will any aircraft I have ownership in be intentionally landing on the playa. It’s terrible alkaline silt.

I do power-on stalls with flaps with all my students (I teach mostly in Cherokees). The stalls are very different in that configuration and I think it is essential to see how it behaves.

Do you have a picture of these stand-offs? How did you get the sign-off on the blocking plate in front of #1, and do you have specs on it?

Yes, and yes.

What CHT should I expect to see in a typical climb say from 5,000' to 9,000' on a 70F day? I find it basically impossible to stay under 415F even if I try climbing at 90kts.

I am looking for ideas to figure out why #3 is running significantly hotter than the others on a Cherokee with O-360. In cruise it will sit around 370-380, but during climb is difficult to keep under 430. Outside temperature at 5,000' (field elevation) is 70F. Vy is 74 and a climb at 85-90 will...

For the 2-hour night XC, the regs are not clear if it has to be night as defined by logging night flight (end of civil twilight), or night as defined by loggable night takeoff and landing. A flight has to include a takeoff and landing and in my mind we can’t depart until one hour after sunset...

Where did you see an N-number?

The FAA really needs a way to “assign on death” or to have a designated beneficiary.

Possible seat sliding back.

If she was in Switzerland she would have to pay someone to hold her money. Interest rates in some places are negative.
