Can someone explain the "power-index rating" From the article: "This term means a formula-based method to replace maximum takeoff weight in the definition of a LSA, involving wing area, horsepower, and takeoff weight." Would you think this would allow 172's, 182's, etc types of planes to be...

Too soon I think.

Ever wanted to...check in here for the night. https://kotaku.com/enormous-flight-simulator-installed-in-tokyo-hotel-1836238095

Someone track down what airplane this guy had and please tell me it's not a Cirrus. https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-jersey-millionare-ceo-sentenced-to-prison-after-putting-plane-on-autopilot-to-have-sex-with-teenage-girl?ref=home

This is not an attempt to derail so please start a new thread if needed. Why is the politics of aviation and the items that surround it off limits?

Report on the news this morning was that the pilot was "lost".

Check to make sure all the pages are in there.

Wasn't me however I hope whoever won the plane can use it well and not just flip it for the money.

lol My phone rang about an hour ago with an unfamiliar number...just for a brief second I imagined winning. It was a telemarketer.

Too much weight burned up the fuel quicker than expected or just a miscalculation and maybe added reserve into the wrong column? Or maybe had to drive around a storm system and that used their fuel.

Found it. It was under homebuilders. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/zenith-down-at-t67-fort-worth-tx.117954/

I cannot find this info again but I understand the US airlines had purchased the option of using both AOA indicators and having that as a safety feature (where they both must agree before activating the MCAS system) while the other two airlines in questions only used the single AOA, thereby...
