Takeoff Been a while since I've had to worry about cloud clearances. True, 1200agl is the clear of cloud limit.

I stated, under a1200 foot class E floor. Also, one of a couple other places class G extends higher that 1200 agl.

Because there was a thick layer of grime over all the grease zerks. Clean is good, thick, crusty grime is not.

It's that called an airspeed indicator?

Yum. When I hear blue donut I think of Breaking Bad. There was a donut shop in Albuquerque that put large blue (the color of meth in the show) sugar sprinkles on their donuts in honor of the show.

That's really unfortunate for you and foolish of him for A) Not telling you first B) Screwing it up. I've meseed things up before; everyone does it, but (A) makes it foolish.

I called him and told him about the downlock issue yesterday and told him my intentions. He knew what I was doing.

Edit: @ainokea got to it first. Oops. Tower: http://archive-server.liveatc.net/phog/PHOG-Feb-01-2017-1800Z.mp3 19:30-HA155 is cleared for takeoff on runway 2 20:50-Caravan is told to start a left turn, they are not cleared for takeoff. This like is Clearance Deliver, Ground, Tower, and...

Alright, where's the LiveATC feed?

Looks like a great adventure someday down the road when I have a plane and some extra time.

Who knows, I would assume I would be IFR in Class E still. I'm would take off from said airfield with an IFR flight plan and a clearance once I reach Class E. I am simply saying the "under a 700 ft Class E floor" didn't sound right.

It isn't a matter of trust, I don't mind if he doesn't completely trust me yet. Being a jerk about me fixing his airplane seems ridiculous. If I took an airplane in to a maintenance shop and they said, "Hey, I fixed this issue that could have caused a gear up and prop strike," I would...

I can take off from an airport under class E with a 1200 ft floor while in IMC. I would of course continue to climb into the Class E and would be responsible for my own terrain avoidance. I wouldn't "operate" under that floor if you mean cruise. I would only operate in a climb as an extension...

Customer tells me the gear down light sometimes won't come on in his P210N. Airplane just came out of annual a couple states away at a shop he trusts. I checked his airplane yesterday and found his two main gear down lock switches out of spec, switches flopping around in their mounts because...

Your chances are pretty good. Probably get one or two questions with HSI. Maybe you need to find a guy with an HSI in his plane and just go fly with him to see what it does. Hands on instead of theoretical learning.

I was also thinking about departing. I can depart IFR from a field with a high E floor.

Why ONLY under Class E 700 and not other Class G areas?

I need another option in that poll. " No, and I know enough about them I won't get one anytime soon."

I honor of my avatar and my business card.... in the plane that took me the most interesting places. Didn't climb through in IMC, just climbed above them before they were completely broken/overcast like you see. About 13,000 feet.

Gonna be interesting.
