    ATC that works with and deals in reality

    Ah. I see. My bad. I just thought it was one of those wonderful mixtures of 'the wonder of flight' and 'the wonder of technology' that geeky people like us enjoy. Just sharing the love... Yeah - it has been hashed a lot, hasn't it. I'm /U. It was like the provided vector went...

    CLE controllers really comply with FAA DRESS code

    ATC that works with and deals in reality

    This a.m. on my way to work. Me: Gray approach, Cherokee 5230W off Taylor, open IFR ATC: ...(the usual radar contact, squawk, etc.)... Do you have GPS? Will you be direct? Me: No, and yes, please. ATC: Certainly. You guys are all flying by the handhelds, anyway. Me: That's affirmative...

    Wow. It's gorgeous. And roomy. (Like my first wife?) I'm a doctor. That's a plane I could die in. (Tongue-in-cheek double entendre intended.)

    CLE controllers really comply with FAA DRESS code

    ATC wears skirts? Paul Harvey News had a blurb that I happened to catch this a.m. He said that in protest of the FAA's dress code, some ATC'ers were wearing dresses. Is this all over, or just the places where it wouldn't be noted as unusual behavior? (California et al) What's the new...

    Which is safer- a twin piston or a single turbine?

    You know, I don't know if there is a specialist for this area of expertise. To me, it sounds like you're opening it for discussion, so here's my two cents: We live (and die) by statistics. I am convinced the statistical liklihood of losing BOTH engines in a twin is LESS than losing THE ONE...

    An oops in the Comm Airplane PTS?

    Everytime I look outside, I have flash-backs of The Twilight Zone... the episode where Bill Shatner sees the gremlin on the wing of the plane. Makes my stalls add +/-5 degrees every time :dunno:

    Headline: Mech problem or pilot error - You decide

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286233,00.html I thought this was a pretty sensationalistic headline for what is known so far....:eek: plane makes low pass with mechanics watching - apparently spewing sparks and with gear up. Then lands one hour later with gear down. Time will tell...
