    Right turning tendencies

    Seriously? Left turning tendencies were covered. However, the refund would be small, I was signed off in 1.8 hours. I was “the best student I’ve ever had”. I bought the 180 with a total time of 160 or so, started backcountry shortly after that. I hardly think a “refund” is due. the statement...

    Right turning tendencies

    I don’t think about it. I just let my feet take care of it. My 180 is nearly 300hp, on the ground it sits at 13 degrees nose up. Like I said I don’t think about it, but I swear I need more right rudder when I bring the tail up. It’s coming up like 6 feet

    Talk me out of renewing my AOPA membership

    Mark truly loves aviation, and he could go work somewhere else and make far more than that. it’s not perfect, but who else has any clout with the feds?

    uAvionix skyBeacon: A false sense of security?

    Tempting, $2000, easy install. But then it’s constant querying of the old narco mills the narco. Now it’s a transponder, $1700 sandia, and pitot static check. Beacon quits working, numerous calls to customer service, after months they finally tell me the unit is bad. But don’t send me one until...

    I just paid $700 for a tire change

    Yes, you need a Special jack to raise it from the lift point. I did a flat repair on a Comanche 250 last spring. All done couldn’t have been more than 1.5 hours. Check the tire, replace the tube, reinstall. Easy job.

    uAvionix skyBeacon: A false sense of security?

    Beacons SUCK!!! I wish I hadn’t bought one. Anonymous mode? Really?, got called by tail number today by a cirrus. Pretty sure I’m set to anonymous, I get back on the ground and try to verify. Beacon won’t connect to phone with numerous attempts. Finally get connected and the app stays in the...

    VFR Altitude

    I was at 14,500 recently. It’s my practice to use the even odd rule almost all the time. Even when at 14,500 I was less than 1500’ agl. An instructor once confirmed the rule, but wanted me to still abide by even odd even when not required. I still do that.

    Coddled college kids

    I left home at 16. As soon as I had a driver license, I bought a $350 pos and drive west to work for the summer. I mostly lived in a family owned hunting cabin. No electricity or water. I’d go to school early and use the shower in the locker room. Principal’s daughter was a friend, her family...

    Cirrus down near Aspen

    Seems to me that perhaps making good decisions and skills in the cockpit might be a better choice. The pilot made poor decisions and put himself in an uncomfortable spot. It’s my belief that pulling the chute was not the last resort, but the first thought. Just because you don’t die when...
