In response, we started to shut down the departures 15 minutes before the NOTAM to give pilots time to prepare and not rush. Plus numerous announcements during the day about it and a flag that was raised to say no engine starts. One can assume that pilots would know not to rush, but assuming...

I joined back in 1978 or so. Thought about lifetime after ten years, but was too broke then! So I support sport aviation by keeping my membership yearly. I’ve got a low number to brag about but it’s more about keeping a legacy alive.

At any rate, it’s an engine tear down and inspection.

Or a slip done too slow. You should be able to put the rudder on the floor and still be above stall angle of attack.

Tragic building mistake that took 100 hours to manifest itself. Reminder to self: if controls don't work in some aircraft, go to the other stick and give it a try. - NTSB issues the preliminary report into the fatal accident involving a Van's RV-12, N412JN, that occurred on June 6, 2024, in...

Given how much of social media goes to the dark side of opinions in everything, it was a good show and we are all lucky to have anything approaching this level of detail in our culture. If you want something to compare it, think “Pearl Harbor” recently. Or just how lucky it was to reach...

Retirement means you are closer to that age 70 insurance cliff.

I would assume that they were task saturated and so lifting of the nose and such was not a normal situation to encounter, could be totally focused on trying to line up the plane and highway, avoiding wires, houses and cars, it was an impossible situation and time, distance and altitude just ran...
