Awesome video! And say what you will, but the AoA on the glare shield is a pretty nifty tool to have!

This is the blessing and the curse to photography. Not having a lot (or any) overhead can make it possible for anyone with the talent and desire to find their niche market/customer, whereas if there was a significant monetary investment needed, those individuals may be otherwise deterred. The...

I feel your pain. I dabbled in part-time real estate photography a few years ago. I had a fairly robust portfolio, and was building a decent client list. I had a RE agent approach me about shooting a ~$900 listing. I'm not sure what his listing agreement was regarding commission, but he...

Maybe some of the PNW mechanics moved to AK, and are taking airworthiness into their own hands?

The ones we use have 2 opposing s hooks to form a closed loop on the tie down point.

This is what we use at the club I fly with.

They can and will, but at the demand of an overly empowered A&P? Nope, they have much bigger fish to fry. This is all covered in the FARs, and typically, since morals are not measured easily, you won't find the definition in Section 1 of 14 CFR either. If you are feeling the need to tell the...

By that logic, we all have a moral responsibility to never leave our houses because an unsuspecting pedestrian can be struck by our cars, or our rattletrap, un-airworthy flying machines may unsuspectedly fall upon the innocent bystanders bellow. There is a certain amount of inherent risk...

Pretty sure 91.3(a) and 91.7(b) answer the airworthiness before flight and whether or not to operate the aircraft in question, question.

Huh, I always thought it was Frammiseseses. Learn something new everyday! And as to the original question, inform the buy, for whom you are working. If it's an airworthiness issue, inform the seller. It's the owner's responsibility to take care of it.

Down gear is a happy gear! I agree with those above who opine that if there is no written relief (MEL/CDL/Performance Data/etc) it’s unairworthy. Ferry permit and one time flight to a suitable repair facility is it. And regarding knowing who can or cannot work on the airplane, if I owned a...

That's What She Said. C'mon man! Pop culture, dammit!

I bet you are... (TWSS)

If you have a Jersey Mike's near you, their Italian sammich is 2 or 3 notches above Jimmy Johns.

Easy there, fellers. I was more or less eluding to the overtones of the "mx is the airworthy blessing authority", and attempted to highlight that there is a world where that attitude doesn't always prosper. Nothing more, nothing less. And to the OP, welcome aboard, and it's too bad you aren't...

By the looks of his location, A&Ps in that neck of the woods are quite contrary!

And one more to the list: Any airplane he has worked on. Apparently airplanes are too cranky, much like their caretakers. If you hate 90% of the GA fleet, then why even bother?

Done the Expressway Vis into LGA. And River Vis to DCA (although only as pax) and yes, they are uncomfortable, but something about those types of approaches seems more controlled and reasonable than a CTL in actual IMC, mainly because I'm not breaking out of the weather at 500'-800' AGL to then...

Tim, I also roll full nose up trim in an engine out scenario, but I counter that with forward pressure to maintain altitude and allow the speed to bleed naturally. I have found that if I don't do that, and allow the aircraft to react to the trim, the nose pitches up and the speed bleeds off...

Ah, makes sense. IIRC, the one time I went there, we were on the visual for the whole approach, so it was planned/briefed/executed that way. I remember it being a busy approach, but not nearly as hairy as some of the other circles I've done. The worst one that comes to mind was at KPHF when...
