No. Way too close in. 300 fpm, or approximately 3 degrees at .8 Mach (no wind) is 2400 fpm. That’s comfortable, but any more and you’d need spoilers. So, if you’re at FL310 and you need to cross a fix 80 nm ahead at 10000 msl, you’ve got to lose 21000 feet in 10 minutes. 2100 fpm on the vvi...

Me too.

I’ve never flown an airplane that lets you go down and slow down. Some were worse than others. In some airplanes, if you were able to slow to 250 at altitude, pop the boards and point the nose down, you could get a very high initial rate of descent. For about 60 seconds. After that initial...

Depends who’s chasing me, but max legal airspeed was 390 kias, as I recall. Speed brakes help.

portable electric cattle prod should break him of that habit, and encourage better behavior from others. 12 D-cell batteries. Doesn’t usually leave a mark.

Who says we’re grumpy? Get off my yard!

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the controllers used altitude plus 10k to estimate tod distance. I don’t know if that’s changed. Didn’t work very well for an e route descent in a B-52 for fuel conservation.

if I’m not mistaken, this happened over North Sentinel Island, a part of the Andaman and Nicobar Island group that sits south of Burma. The natives are primitive and kill anyone who tries to land on their little slice of heaven.

try mothballs.

Remind them not to hang their bra on the yoke?

Moth balls. Under and 3-5 feet around the perimeter. Lots of them. Worked for my RV in my hangar over the winter. You can also put them inside on the floor, in an open container, if you’d like. You’ll just need to air the vehicle out well before using it. Good luck.

Can’t speak to that. I’m not yet an official Geezer. I’m just legally elderly. I pay about $3400 annually on my T210F.

If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. So my Father taught me .

Thank you.

B-1B. 244 psf.

Welcome to poa. thank you. sorry, no. I couldn’t possibly settle for less than two kidneys and a liver to be named later.

They’re really not that big a deal, as mountains go. True, in some areas there aren’t many airports, but even in Pa or WV, there are generally plenty of fields, roads and even major highways. I’d plan my best route, study the vfr sectional and the aerial map, fly as high as you’re comfortably...
