Doors opening in flight? That's what I thought rudder trim was for in a 182.

Didn't he decide to shut down and feather after it started blowing oil out the cowling? Unless I needed every last bit from the dying engine, I would certainly shut down an engine that was puking oil.

I watched the vid. He seemed to do fine.

Nice write up, Gary. Thank you.

I made love to an optometrist once. It was horrible. She kept asking, "Better like this... or better like this..."

I watched the Mike Busch video again. The key point is that following the POH may be the correct legal procedure, but it is not necessarily the best procedure. One of the key points was that Embry Riddle bought a lot of 172s and operated them according to the POH. They experienced a...

Favorite Betty White quote, paraphrasing. "Why do they call everyone a d....? The should call them v........s. Those things take a pounding."

Who's on first?

The truly amazing thing is that Elon makes it look easy.

The ratchet only turns one way. The company won't get a million dollar bonus for saving a life.

Gryder has already insulted the moped-certified head of the NTSB. He says it's a lack of understanding AQP, DMMS and Vref. Abdul, you gotta learn these things.

Someone already sent them to D.C.

Have your club bite the bullet and put in iridium plugs in the lower holes. Lean aggressively on the ground. Problem solved. Mag checks will be perfect and your plugs will remain relatively clean. And that's if you never lean in flight.

It's training. You can do things in sims you can't or shouldn't do IRL. Set failures to a short enough period that you will get a vacuum failure in hard IMC. Can you pick it up? What do you do? Same thing with engine failure. Do you know your checklist? My set up allows me to use my iPad...

She will have a life-long fear of plumbers.

I read some articles on the best laptops for gaming, and several recommended the Acer I ultimately bought. I am using whatever graphics Acer put in the machine.

I tried to download X12 tonight. The Windows loader would not install. XP12 uses something called Vulkan, and that needs high-powered graphics cards. I bought a new computer about 6 months ago which was specifically recommended for gaming. I guess it's not enough. X11 runs fine, though, so I...

Isn't the non-instructing pilot's freezing on the controls thought to be the cause of the 182 crash last year in Florida? I don't know if it's fair to call him a student, since he was an experienced pilot. But he was getting a BFR or something from an instructor. The 182 did a stall, dropped...

Well, there may be one left.

The problem is that we are running out of conspiracy theories. They are all turning out to be true.
