I'll take Gravity for $500 Alex!

A bit of a coincidence, aircraft was involved in a similar incident back in 2018: http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2019/08/fuel-exhaustion-cessna-150l-n1701q.html https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/223427 But the outcome was not as tragic.

I was going to chime in with the same information. A ninety-degree throw ON/OFF selector, down between the two seats. In all of the videos and pictures I looked at, there was actually very little fire. It seemed more like an electrical fire than an actual blaze from AvGas.

I keep forgetting to just name search. Thanks to those who found the information. Student pilot it is then, from last September. The last trace is also available on FlightAware for N1701Q. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N1701Q The weather in our area wasn't too bad yesterday...

Apparent fuel exhaustion has been cited by a couple of sources. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/at-least-one-dead-small-plane-crashes-johnson-county-fire/287-47095a95-d770-4f46-b9f4-dc1144bacd66 I remember seeing this plane at the FBO during the short time I was taking lessons at KCPT...

Ah, even I fell into the GB/MB normalization trap. Glass houses, stones. Guilty.

Sigh. I'm old enough to remember when 32mb RAM was a top-notch setup. The first 386SX33 I built was rockin' it with 4 GB and Windows 3.1. 32 GB?

Maybe the Honeycomb group can recover fully and finally start churning out the Charley rudder pedals. I really like my Alpha, but there's not a lot of love for my Saitek/Logitech rudder pedals. I wish I had enough to buy the Thrustmaster TPR pedals. Yikes! Nearly $600.

I was allowed to use my ASA CX-3. The rules are that you have to remove the batteries in front of the test proctor to prove all memory has been cleared. Used December of 2021.

Not to derail the topic - but MOSAIC may very well change that sometime in the next millennium! Still, even with the new rules, two of the four seats can only be occupied by the dogs or luggage.

Man, was I lucky. My PCP was chosen as he also performed my required annual fire brigade physical. I have been using him for over 25 years, and since he was familiar and comfortable with government medical he didn't bat an eye when presented with my CMEC. He also does all of the annual reactor...

The only time I'm concerned about the physical condition of others is when I'm forced to fly commercial. Then, I sincerely hope that the PF/PM are both healthy and well-rested. And sober.

My PCP has been my doctor for over 24 years now. For the first 20 or so he was the doc hired by my employer to perform our Industrial Fire Brigade physicals. Very thorough regime there. I am no longer on the Fire Brigade, but I still use him. He has that long history with me and knows how...

Well, not to rub salt in that particular wound - but it is also very possible that they had all of their training for that Part 121/135 position paid for through the GI Bill. They didn't have that available for us who served in the early 80's. We had the VEAP program. What a farce that was.

Yes, and I get an almost daily "reminder" of that too. I work at a nuclear power plant, and we have to pass through an explosive detector and then a standard metal detector as we enter. Each day as I head in I have to remove my shoes, belt, hat, etc. The walk-through metal detector alerts...

I'm not opposed to limiting the amount a government entity can tax me. I agree that it seems cumbersome to ensconce limits in a state constitution, but then again, it sure makes it harder to rescind those new tax breaks!

Don't forget, this fall there is a Texas Constitutional referendum on expanding the maximum amount that can be claimed for the Homestead exemption. There are other taxpayer friendly goodies in the package too! Vote, if you live here. INFO: Texas Proposition 4. A "yes" vote supports amending...

Too bad you're not closer. I have an instructor that I work pretty well with now, but I have a suspicion that they are going to pull her to their Denton school. Right now, I think I am her only student at Granbury, and she is only available on Fridays. They are losing three instructors in the...

True. I had one instructor at Nationwide Aviation KCPT that was excellent. He had family ties to the Cleburne area. The problem was the lessons were about 25% higher than what I'm currently paying. Their policy was to pad the overall cost with a mandatory and lengthy preflight briefing and...
