Are you saying it does not require strong language skills to drive a train? :p

"Wow. Sounds like a very fun and fulfilling place to work." said nobody, ever.

Indeed. ILS Z is a "normal" ILS (still sans LOC minimums) down to 211' AGL but requires 410' per NM to 9800' on the missed... Lots of pointy rocks in that area.

Speaking of excessively high DAs, take a looksee at KMSO ILS Y RWY 12... Have not seen a lot of ILS approaches with no LOC minimums, let alone better-than-basic-VFR weather requirements.

That was the hardest muscle-memory reaction to overcome during chopper transition training. "Wait... You want me to do what when it stalls?" :p

Had a '68 MG Midget. The slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch was inaccessible without pulling the motor and transmission. The second time it sprung a leak I quit using the clutch. :p

Unless it is an '06 Dodge Ram. This is the only automatic transmission I have ever driven that will NOT stay in 2nd gear. It will, on its own, downshift to 1st whenever the hell it wants (with 2nd selected) . When using engine compression to ease down an icy hill and the tranny suddenly...

Squawk: Relief tube too short. Repair: Ground check SAT. Suggest pilot check own equipment.

That is how we do it in the Warrior. On the ground I have them pull it back until the RPM starts to rise slightly. When it goes from 1000 to 1100 you know you are leaned out pretty well. I also demonstrate what happens when you try to go to full power with that setting. Sometimes it is...

P.S. As was pointed out above, in your example the driver was forced to clear the rear of the van regardless from which direction they approached. When I was a tech/supervisor/Safety Guru for a major satellite TV Regional Service Provider, the reason we were given for the cause for all this...

Rest assured that my students are trained to lean aggressively enough on the ground that if they do attempt a takeoff without using their checklist (Mixture - Set Full or for DA) they will kill the engine when going to full throttle. Unfortuately our primary training aircraft has no gauges that...

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. Just because they are not using them properly does not negate the reason I gave for thier use.

Do they enter through the back door and drive off forward?

It is a way to force them to do a walk around before getting in and driving off. Much like pilots are supposed to do before getting in and starting the engine. You know, to prevent them from having to try to taxi over a nosewheel chock and such.

Depends upon what you want... Just audio? My CFI used a cassette recorder plugged in to a spare headset jack. If you want to synch the audio with video on a GoPro, there are cables that plug inline with your headset to breakout the audio and feed it to the USB port on the camera. It can also...

Even bigger problem is the number of geese that do not have it... :rolleyes:

Hey Chris, You might want to log into the FAA site and tell them to not publish your address. https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/amsrvs/AddressRelease.asp

Cannot find the thread now, but around eight months ago there was the Private student who posted a video of him and his instructor being "surprised" by VFR into IMC. when they climbed into an obviously low ceiling. The OP tried to blame it on an inaccurate AWOS rather than admitting neither of...

No matter the version, it is still DOS. As I was wont to say in the 90s, "Windows is just a fancy ball gown for DOS." :p

As an instructor who, at 8000', is unable to correctly feel (guess) TAS without using at least basic math or the wiz wheel around the airspeed indicator, I would strongly suggest doing the math before chasing down any potentially expensive troubleshooting steps. Know exactly what is the...
