    Blown veins

    I haven’t had that problem personally, but I had to watch them repeatedly stick my 2 week old son until they had exhausted almost every vein in his body. I learned a couple things very quickly: 1. Enough is enough. We are in charge and we need to say when to stop 2. When someone was good, we...

    Oral Exam Gotchas

    One trick someone taught me that impressed the DPE during my oral was to take the page in the approach chart flipbook that tells you how much to add to minimums for out of service equipment and tape it to something you use all the time. When I was asked that question I just pulled out my notepad...

    Altitude selection

    I’ll echo the 6500 or 8500 comments for a different reason: it makes the LOP ops easier and safer. The red box starts to disappear at around that altitude.

    Clear Prop! - Anyone ever have a response?

    I couldn’t stop if I wanted to: my wife thinks it’s hilarious. If we’re the only ones on the ramp and I go to start without yelling ‘clear’ she’ll call me out on it.

    Attempted Scam

    I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but my landline (well, VOIP) provider does exactly this. I’ve got everything blocked except a few family members. It works perfectly, except when the family butt-dials us.

    Favorite coffee

    My favorite everyday coffee is a nice Columbian. I’ve gotten into using an Aeropress. It gives you a lot of control over the brewing process, which can make an excellent cup of coffee, but if you’re not careful or experiment too much it’s possible to ruin your cup. After a couple years of owning...

    Panel failure in IMC. A few questions.

    I don’t know if this is old school or what, but when I learned IFR my instructor basically taught me partial panel from the get go. The mantra was always “turn coordinator, vertical speed.” If you’re not turning, climbing, or descending, then you’re by definition straight and level. And if those...

    Forget starter planes- there are a couple 310s for sale in the $30,000 range on Beechtalk that keep tempting me.

    Kids on commercial flights

    When we fly with kids, we fly Frontier or Spirit and sit in the back. Same concept applies.

    Irma

    I've been watching the coverage safely from my home in Cleveland. In case you were wondering where my mom's house is, Mother Nature was helpful enough to draw a bullseye around it. My in laws, who are riding the storm there, sent video of the storm but I can't link it here from my phone...
