Been there, done it. I was in the Flight Safety S-76 sim at PBI grinding it out. We were doing approaches in the NY area. I was PF. The sim instructor gave us a dual engine failure in the soup. Broke out in MVFR. I saw the Statue of Liberty at nine o'clock, heading N. Good graphics. We weren't...

No evidence. But "seat swapping" (so everybody gets a turn) may be involved.

In the event that helium seeped from the balloon in quantities that could reach the pilot enough for him (or her) to inhale, the inevitable descent would be marked by unusually high pitched shrieks.

IF this A/C had a Minimum Equipment List, it would require something like that to indicate that it was INOP.

The peripheral vision check is a part of the standard optometry appointment. As far as I know, depth perception is measured with that big apparatus that they have you look through and tell them which image is clearest.

Very good tips here. I don't think an important tip was mentioned. Get your eyeballs out in front. Use peripheral vision to gauge height above touch down. That was something that I was taught learning to drive and later reinforced in the Cub. My CFI was a WW2 Stearman I.P. He gave me forward...

I have heard that landings are better if you wear the lightest, thin-est footwear practical. Always worked for me. Landings were a bit clumsy when I was wearing clod hoppers. Improved a little with my PF Flyers. Landings were never a deal for me. I learned in a J-3 Cub. Thats kind of cheating.

Got it. The banking side tied w/ the insurance made it a better deal for me and my hometown bank couldn't touch it. I said goodby years ago.

Actually, they are an insurance company and they do banking on the side. It's a "big" side gig.

Might be an EMS plane.

What? No amphib floats?

Another thing about USSA. They have a "Subscriber's Savings Acct" and it builds annually. The annual excess is kicked back. I designate it to Auto ins. I also get the "senior acct" kick back too.

USAA. 600 miles from home. I have dir. dep. to my savings act, which also is my checking overdraft protection. My VISA is manually paid from savings on the 20th. Home and auto ins is auto-paid from savings. I have online bill pay for local utilities. I had my brokerage w/ USAA until they...

I'm saying that he walks after therapy and stays on his meds. And everybody's insurance goes up. He watched too much "Airplane repo".

I'm always half a lap behind, but wasn't the Ercoupe created for that?

Weather reporting stations begin with K

Once, I was inbound to New Orleans KMSY. Moisant Stock Yards, get it? They had just un-named it from "Moisant" to "Louis Armstrong". A local favorite and one of mine too. I was in moderate task overload at the time and told APC that I was landing at Don King International. He didn't skip a beat...

You got me into the wayback machine and took me back to post katrina New Orleans. Always had a couple of TFRs in effect. One day, had three. One was a moving TFR. Were they ever penetrated? Shucks yeah. Always had one of the two AWACs overhead.

Yeah. You, me and a couple thousand other guys. Thats what you get when you want to be a pilot.

I wouldn't sweat it. Remarks state: "APCH/DEP SVC PRVDD BY Los Angeles ARTCC WHEN SBA APCH CLSD."
