Just saw this on TV. Reading on COPA that he may have been flying to TX for a PnP flight. Prayer with the pilot and family.

We only have two friends in flying. Altitude is first and speed is second. Our objective should be to get as high as possible as fast as possible without compromising our safety and our equipment (mainly the engine). The first issue is the ground roll. There are two area which slow the...

I use fsx. I downloaded a Cirrus model which was the G2 model with the Avidyne mfd and stec autopilot. Seldom do I use the joystick and almost never the pedals. It's great using the autopilot and learning the buttonology for first training. The joystick/yoke is not realistic (even in a...

Sorry for the poor service. As a resident okie, please allow me to apologize for them. I landed at KWPA Wiley Post just up the street and they wanted to charge me $50 just to pick up a friend. The line guy asked if I paid, and I told him I'd settle on the way back. I haven't been back since...

Ok thanks. That's like in the basement of the forum that I never go to.

I don't see this on COPA. Have you posted it there Ed? I'm skeptical until there is more info.

So, I filed again yesterday with the same flight plan on fltplan.com. Depart Tulsa krvs for el dorado, ar keld via pejay. My navlog states that my departure is pejay, and it is my clearance pickup fix. I get airborne and call up Tulsa departure. They look through their system and the find...

Welcome. I don't have anything to add. Thank you for your service.

See, I would have already killed myself. Hopefully, I would have put in the correct rudder input to fly straight ahead. Left rudder. (I probably said right rudder because I only fly single engine and generally that's what you all hear).

Glad everybody got out and hoping for fast and complete recovery. Just for my education, what is the procedure for a right engine out upon take off. This is my guess without looking it up (imagining I'm in the right seat and the pilot is incapacitated) - right rudder to get coordinated, full...

So what luvflyin is the reply I got from fltplan.com. I find it strange that the computers of each airspace don't talk to each other. So if I file to pick up my clearance in one airspace but don't try to pick it up until well past it and into another airspace (like I stayed vfr until closer to...

Yes, and fltplan.com also confirmed that it was filed and accepted by ATC.

I use The Best Hood. They fit in the pocket of my knee board. The fit over my glasses. They fit over my head set. They're cheap. They work as advertised. My instructor carried a hard pair ( I don't know what they were), but he only had they when he knew he was going to use them.

I got my IR in April, but have been flying ifr with instructors for 4 years (too lazy to take the tests and my wife did like me fly through the clouds by myself since some people she knew were killed when he took off into imc and crashed shortly afterwards killing him, his wife and a kid or two...

I have a 92 accord that I still drive. Actually my kids drive it now. We have 3 kids and each one of them has wrecked it (all rear ended someone). Amazingly, the a/c still works in it. It starts right up everyday.

I just landed in a G2 SR22. When I pulled back to my idle over the numbers to land, it was 1000 rpm. When I came to a stop at the FBO, I pulled all the way back to idle and it was 750 rpm. It did not die. When I turned the fuel pump off at full idle, it did not die (the mixture was at full...

No, I don't do an idle check, it's not on the checklist and the checklist only says reduce rpms to 1000 after the run-up.

This is my first post to POA. I claim not to be an expert at anything. I've flown 5 different Cirruses, 2-22, 2-20 and a TN. In the first 22 I flew, if you pull the throttle all the way back to idle, it would die on the runway. None of the other planes would do that. So my normal now is to...
