Better call Saul. Or maybe Slippin' Jimmy

I also think the spacing maneuver put his workload beyond his skill/proficiency level. Got busy with other things and altimiter got neglected.

Done it twice. Went about 30 minutes w Ft. Polk, LA appch on a Sunday trip from MS to TX. Another on a Sunday run from Galveston to Falfurrias. Went about 20 minutes there before the "radio check". If I remember correctly, both ATC responses commented on the unusual silence.

Anti-ice hotplate

....a 10kt gain above 130, on average, costs about $10K(certified world). And I'm tired of 130, but I'll take it.

Depending on where your friends live, you may want to consider Lakeway Airpark, 3R9, a great airport on the West side.

Why is Travolta's Citation type rating VFR only? Battlefield Earth flashbacks in the soup?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbqDTuAQoi4 October, 2012. Collapsed lifters (3) on takeoff. Why three at that time with a fine preflight/runup? Who knows. Mechanic said probably could've firewalled it, held my 200ft agl and come around to land. Also said there was a chance the camshaft...

Every takeoff I've made since that day has come with the expectation that the engine is going to miss the same way it did on 10/23/2012. I'm a more confident pilot because of it. Every move i made was instinctive. I only remembered my thought process after watching the video. My initial...

Just informed ours cracked. Dont want to wait out a repair. Please pm if have or know someone with.

Sounds like the receptionist in Office Space

Yeah, we'd get our medicine at startup in the 182. Almost did it 1 month into plane ownership. Master on, hand on the key, then rememebered

We have gone full tablet in the cockpit, so time to send the trusty 696 to a new owner. I decommissioned the XM Wx last week, so radio ID is ready for new subscription. Systems comes complete as it did from factory with the addition of a harness to hardwire to ship's power. Maps are a couple of...
