Just wondering if anyone knows any recent report comparing safety of the Bonanza A36 to the Cirrus.

and how would the pilot know how much oil was coming out below the plane? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Except that this never happens. If someone else declared an emergency you'd hear him on the radio and you can make a judgement. I've never even heard of a situation where two people have declared an emergency at the same time. Sure it's possible, and maybe it's happened but I wouldn't make a...

I think we could legitimately argue about whether an expeditious downwind landing would have been prudent with a 5, 10 or 15kt tailwind . I don't think there's any question that the pilot should have informed tower of his situation. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I think this is bad ADM and missing a good teaching moment got student. This was an emergency. Period. Maybe it was oil cap maybe it wasn't. PIC didn't know. The only responsible action in my mind would have been to inform tower of problem. Whether you use the word emergency, mayday or...

Thanks !!! That REALLY helps. I missed the whole Airport of Entry/15 thing. I thought I had to land at CYOW ! That will be a HUGE help. Thanks again !!!

Is Ottawa (CYOW) friendly to GA? Seemed like a pretty reasonable landing fee. Good tip about the 100ll. I always like to go X-country with full tanks, but if I can't, I'd rather know ahead of time. Its about a 2.5 hr flight to destination in my Mooney. If I fill up before I go, should be...

Thanks. Any advice? I'm thinking offlying into Ottawa for Canadian customs Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Yes. When I bought a plane 18 and again 6 years ago I was shocked that most brokers ignored my emails and calls. I was serious and couldn't even get in touch with the brokers ! If the sellers only knew !!! Thousands of dollars in commissions and the guys won't even answer a phone call ...

Thinking about flying up through New York to Mont Laurier Airport (CSD4). I have WingX which does have the airport on the map, but it's near the northern edge of my coverage area, so I'd like to have a paper chart for backup. Even better would be an ipad version (I know Foreflight has them...

What did you say? Please speak up !!! No problem with other headsets. Will try swapping... Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

In flight it seems like sound comes out of one earpiece louder than the other. With standard aircraft headset jacks can you plug the headset jack (i.e. NOT the microphone jack) into the standard 1/4 in headphone output of a home stereo so that I can check my headsets in the comfort of my living...

Ok. I get it. It's just usually a clearance authorizes you to do something that you can't do without a clearance;. Enter Bravo airspace, cross a runway, land at a controlled field, etc. Without a clearance you could fly the ILS XX approach anyhow..."Tower, Cessna 1235 10 to the north with...

Yeah, I'm still a little confused. Usually a clearance gives you SOME permission. It's not clear exactly what permission you are getting when the controller says "Cleared ILS approach xx, to maintain VFR," Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Thanks Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Any reference for this? I'm pretty sure you are correct! Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I don't remember. But I did specifically say request PRACTICE ILS approach. What would it mean if he did say remain VFR? What would the clearance mean then? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

(This may have been covered before, so feel free to point me to the thread...I couldn't find anything when searching) Getting flight following and flying VFR, I asked for a practice ILS 36 and the controller said "Cleared ILS 36, proceed direct ABCDE" (the IAF). What am I "cleared" for...

I have the Bose A20. It works but not nearly as quiet as when noise cancelling is functioning. I find the louder engine noise distracting and makes communications less easy at a potentially critical flight time.
