    Most annoying new phrase of 2018?

    Just thought of mine: “deadass.” As in, “I deadass told him exactly what I thought of him”

    HSI test question

    I say A for two reasons: 1. If you were NW wouldn’t the To/From indicator be flipped? 2. It’s only two dots off. No way you’re at position B with only two dots deflection.

    Winter IFR currency vs icing

    I was thinking of trying to get a few approaches in tomorrow, but the forecast looks frosty in northern Ohio.

    Maple syrup, meh, meh, yuk!

    I’ve got a 2 gallon container of real Geauga County, Ohio maple syrup that I bought straight from the maple house at the Maple Syrup festival. It doesn’t get much better than that.

    Katamarino's off around the world; planning thread

    Some people did that in my club’s A36 a couple years ago. They had some nice tailwinds and made it in about 10 hours.

    Stormscopes, how useful?

    Which would you rather have, onboard radar or a storm scope? If you have both and the radar shows red but the stormscope is clear, do you fly through it?

    Madam Secretary

    I watch it. A season or two ago I would have said it’s my favorite show on network TV. The last season they started getting real preachy without a great story arc. I’m hoping when they pick back up there’s been some shake up in the writing department.

    Oshkosh - 2018

    Oh, man. Controller just asked if there was anyone else with an emergency or fuel critical. Of course now everyone is fuel critical. I had to turn it off.

    where to get a non aviation physical

    :yeahthat: It’s all a language thing. “Physical” is saying to them “Please sign off on this form.” They don’t want to do that if they don’t know you. The key words your looking for are “Annual wellness exam” and “establish care” with a new primary care provider. They should book that the first...

    Strange Hold Short lines

    I don’t recall seeing an approach sign next to it; the only sign I remember was the taxiway identifier. But, the sign is on the far side of what was a fairly wide taxiway, and I was trying to clear quickly for traffic behind me, so it’s possible it was there and I just missed it. I’ll have to...

    Strange Hold Short lines

    That makes sense conceptually. Operationally, though, I’m still confused. There’s no implicit prohibition on crossing the approach path, so absent an explicit restriction I would pull right up into that restricted space. And I’m not sure how the controller would phrase an explicit restriction...

    Strange Hold Short lines

    No, not professional. My club has planes there.

    Strange Hold Short lines

    Flip that and you’re right. I’ve been based here for years and never departed from 24R, which is why I’ve never seen this before. I generally don’t make the first turn off landing on 24R since I park at the other end.

    Strange Hold Short lines

    I’m familiar with the hold short lines between the runways. They make sense: one gets you clear of the long one, one keeps you short of the short one. That’s actually what confused me: they were doing construction and closed most of the crossing taxiways and had me take it all the way down to...

    Strange Hold Short lines

    Is it me, or do these hold short lines not make any sense. This is at BKL in Cleveland. There are parallel runways, one shorter than the other. The hold short lines to the longer runway past the point that the shorter parallel runway ends are confusing. This is a close up of the lines. I...

    Lightning and more to be added to ADS-B feed

    Has anyone heard if this has been implemented? I read somewhere that said June, but nothing saying it started or has been delayed.

    September MLB Trip

    I’m based at BKL. Make sure your brother has his camera ready: you’ll get great views as you’re landing, especially if they’re landing on 6. If you want to avoid Signature you can park at the city ramp and avoid all but the $7 landing fee, but from what I’ve heard Signature isn’t all that bad...

    Blown veins

    Yes, thanks for your concern. He ended up needing surgery at 2 months old that resolved the issue. He still has some chronic issues, but nothing that we can’t manage.
