This was a test prep question, 2387

So I'm hung up on this question: You are 27NM west of AJCIZ at 7,000 feet and have been cleared for the RNAV (GPS) RWY 30 approach. You should: Answer: Remain at 7,000 feet until AJCIZ, descend to 4,700 feet in the holding pattern, cross AJCIZ and begin descent to cross BEMXI at 4,600 feet...

When friends come over they do all of the above and throw me $5-$10 for beer (fuel?). So I guess $5-10....wait a second...

15 gal min at $6.89, only burned 10 from topped off tanks.

I am indeed shocked to pay $50 to park a Cessna for an hour. Have yet to go to an airport that charged more than $20. Live and learn

Funny you mention that we were just talking about heading up that way (coming from Tampa). The few people we've mentioned it to have said to do St. Simons instead. Might have to take another look.

Flew into KORL over the weekend with my dad just for a fun flight and quick turn around. Figured we'd stop at Atlantic since their fuel was marginally cheaper than Sheltair. I greeted the girl behind the desk and asked if she had a crew car available. She said she did, to which I said great...

Just wondering if there is a porta potty on the field. Also, how much is the taxi ride typically? Someone told me $20 each way...seems like too much.

Yea that's the best I've found so far. Maybe that's it, but what I have in my head was an online tool. I'm probably confusing it with something else.

Yea I just wanted to mess around with it and see what kind of results were generated on flights; and how the FAA, or whoever created, weighed the riskiness of certain things. It's not the IMSAFE checklist, this was an actual tool that spit out a number that could be measured against various...

I thought I ran across some sort of FAA produced risk assessment tool one day but can't seem to find it. IIRC, you would check off things like less than 8 hours of sleep, or clouds below 3000ft agl, things like that and it would spit out a risk score. Anyone know what I'm talking about or have...

Care to share an example of the something you disagree with Busch on? From what I've seen he has a pretty solid following and has quite a bit of evidence to back up most of his claims. He's been a great educator on the subject even if he's trying to promote his savvy maintenance business or...

Right, I’m just going off the article saying 50* a minute was a challenge in flight, yet 100* a minute on the ground is the norm.

I am also curious at what rate the engine actually does cool on shut down. One would think that the airflow would aid in this, but an engine not developing power even though stationary cools quicker based on the article. “In fact, the real shock cooling comes at the end of the flight when you...

Do you have the articles where he says that? Genuinely curious. It’s been awhile since I read his series, but from what I recall it takes tremendous effort to get a temperature change that drastic.

If Mike Busch says not to worry about it, that's good enough for me. I would really like to see any sort of evidence of damage from "shock cooling" from anyone. Doesn't seem to exist.

Landed at Naples and when I exited the runway and contacted ground they had some words for me. "Taxi to the apron, clear to cross 14, by the way Fort Myers didn't appreciate you getting so close to their airspace" I immediately had the feeling of panic rush over me thinking I busted an...

Yep the airport is KAVO. Really quiet place, landed on runway 5 so it was a non issue. Didn’t notice any obstructions on takeoff but the runway was 5k+ feet so plenty of space. You might be right about the patterns midlifeflyer; and yea I did think it was one maneuver instead of two statements...
