I like this lady, I have seen her many times. I value her videos. I am not denying that Kennedy launched a "trial" balloon to get Soviets to participate. It is a historical fact. Lets quote key words used in his speech "I include among these possibilities, a joint expedition to the Moon." But we...

This is misinterpreted, vastly overblown. This was a 1963 UN political "what if" speech, nobody seriously expected that this will lead to anything... nobody (including probably Kennedy) seriously entertained idea that Apollo will be "cancelled".

I am about to start flying in a rented Cirrus SR22 (2017) equipped with oxygen but it turns out I have either to rent the canulas (with flow meter assembly) from my flying club or purchase them for about $95 (per person) from Cirrus store. There is another possibility - having my own on-demand...

Oh super, thanks.

I am having hard time to find downloadable pdf version of Cirrus SR22 G6 POH, I found earlier versions but I specifically need the manual for the G6 generation. Any ideas?

Which planes? Part 135/121 aviation is definitely the safest mode of transportation, even safer than riding a bus but Part 91 (nonprofessional crew) is about just as dangerous as motorcycles.

Engine issue? If I were to bet (I rather not) I would say this accident will be shown (like most similar accidents) to have no relevance to any real on-board equipment failures.

His signature suggests he is PP-SEL (I bet VFR only), aircraft owner and works on avionics for some airline.

Hmmm, are you IFR rated at all? This is basic stuff... They have "expected" approach when they take off but this can change of course (if your flight is 10+ hrs long you bet things may change). The approach itself is not really part of the flight plan (not the way I have been filing), I had...

Poor airmanship, hand flying, no autopilot? Actually her altitude/airspeed (this is GS btw) wasn't that bad, she started her descent too early - hence this sudden dip. Her track was probably affected by the wind, I assume the aircraft had some GPS though it is possible she wasn't proficient in...

So yeah, this actually shows there was a myriad of other problems with this flight, perhaps human problems, not a tailwind on landing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Which obviously would absolutely make no sense since a mere 10 kt tailwind is not going to make much difference on a 5600 ft long runway in a Skyhawk.

From what I know all modern FMS installed in your typical Boeing or Airbus can use both Galileo and GPS (they don't use the Russian version however). So what is "used" at the moment by such FMS is totally hidden to a pilot - the algorithm picks the best navigation source at the moment, it could...

2019 SR20 (Lycoming) Perspective Plus.

I disagree with this after about 110 hrs now on a Cirrus. I just recently let my airspeed decay (my fault) to 64 on very short final (full flaps) - still had plenty elevator control. Cirrus lists 62 KIAS (60 KCAS) as its stall speed with 100% flaps and at gross weight, I was lightly loaded. I am...

You bet, this is the best ATC add-on.

Very remote area, extreme heat, I doubt people will show up. You can shoot tires and folks will struggle to survive.

I flew with 'frustrating' CDI and when I discovered there was a thing called HSI which I thought it was an absolutely miraculous piece of hardware. All the problems I had with CDI instantly disappeared.

Well, it knows about the terrain up to MDA, below MDA - you must fly visually anyway.

If you are thinking about purchasing a Cirrus I would talk to Max Trescott, he wrote books on Perspective plus he is real expert on anything Cirrus-related, he offers his professional advice-services to anyone on a market for a used Cirrus. He is a real nice guy (met him during some Cirrus...
