Flying a plane is unsafe, regardless what anyone says. You, sir, are ignorant. ML

Now I feel I must chime in! I'm not saying the op has ever completed a true long distance ride, but I will vouch that those types of rides are done often and done safely by members of the ld (long distance, not learning disabled) motorcycling community. My IBA # is 409. My wife and I rode...

1976 C-182 Continental 0-470 Single probe EGT- gauge has no numbers but each line is 25 degree increment Yesterday partner saw from the outset of his flight egt reading approx 75 degrees higher than normal. If applied carb heat, it would drop and as altitude increased, it dropped. This...

Thanks a lot. All good info. ML

I was going to transition class b airspace this morning at 7500 feet. I was on flight following. As I approached the airspace, approach cleared me in at 7500 feet. A few moments later approach contacted me and said (not an exact quote), " 182 I have you at 7800. Correct altimeter is 3042."...

I guess I'm a little slow, but could someone tell me why it to give the N number?

Thank you all for the information. You have answered my questions plus given me some other valuable info. Very much looking forward to it! ML

Thank you. I was thinking I'd seen somewhere that general parking filled up but camping always had spots available.

Looking for a little help here: I've been to the website and found some information but I still am not comfortable that I've answered my questions... either I'm a little slow or the website is a little lacking or some combination of the two. My brother and I want to attend this year. We plan...

Thank you. Definitely not the most graceful of landings. However, no injuries and the insurance company has only been slightly ridiculous in handling the claim so, no worries. (other than the pesky 709 ride that shall be forthcoming) And, on the bright side, we were already looking into...

I'm guess I'm and even bigger idiot than I thought because now I see there are pics attached. Oh well. ML

I tried to post pics but I'm an idiot. See if this link works.... If not, you can do a search for "Piedmont Missouri airplane crash" http://m.kfvs12.com/kfvs12/db_349220/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=n1NWlBMq

I tried to do a search but couldn't find any info..... Does anybody have information regarding whether or not insurance rates increase after a pilot has had an accident or incident ? ML

Thanks for the info. Mine is a 182P. It sounds like I have beeen carrying more speed on the downwind than is practicable. I'm thinking that is the source of my issue: too much speed causing me to carry my downwind farther than I'd like before I lose enough speed to start my decent which in...

Do any of you 182 pilots care to share with me your "standard" speeds/configurations for standard pattern landings? I am a low time pilot. Obtained my certificate in a 150 and have been signed off in a Piper Colt and Cessna 182. My 182 sign off was barely an hour of instruction and I've been...

The correct answer is "lettuce."

I just did. Very informative. Thank you.

The mechanic is tied up till next week so I thought I'd check here just to see if there's any consensus of what the issue might be. And, yes, I know that a real diagnosis will still be necessary. Motor runs fine under power. No problem starting. When power is pulled out while flying the...

I am not familiar with Maryland's system of justice, however, I suspect it is plagued by the same problems as we have here in Missouri. Judges have very little power to determine how much of a sentence is actually served. When I sentence a defendant to any number of years, the department of...

Tyndall: what's the secret to the seat removal? I can't seem to fine the release to get it past the stop... Do I need an extra set of hands ?
