I would think any size drone except for maybe the really small ones hitting a plane from small GA to large commercial at the wrong spot could potentially end in disaster.

Have never had the opportunity to use it. Typically fly at 6000 or less. Highest I have been was 8000. Had it checked at last annual and it was still full. Have had the plane for just over 2 years. Prior to that had a T182T with oxygen and never used it either but had to full it once and...

Certainly a good point. I do not fly a 172tail dragged. Only did for my initial ppl training and you make a good point about trimming to relieve pressure. I am flying a 206 and before that a 182, and really do not think about how much trim I am using. Just do it where I find I need minimal...

Been flying in Florida for 9ver ten years. It is true the east west convention does not always hold. That being said the north south variation does not always hold either. I fly regularly from south Florida to North Florida and back and have never been asked to change my assigned altitude, but...

Sounds definitely like a trim issue. Did all my initial training in a 172 and they are as many have said pretty docile and forgiving. In take off the trim in the ones I have flown should be set at the white bar on the trim wheel. At landing I would always turn one click at downwind when...

Have you spoken to him, and told him your concerns?

Not sure how it works in Florida, however my experience with the Florida tax people is that they are not very user friendly, and if they can find a way to separate you from your hard earned or even easy earned money they will. When I purchased my present plane, I received a notice about a year...

In New Orleans Palmetto bugs are giant flying cockroaches. They could get so big rumor had it you could put a saddle on them and ride them! They certainly were a mess when you squashed them. The palmetto bugs in Florida do not seem to fly and are somewhat smaller than the cousins in NOLA.

I am too lazy to walk my dogs on a regular basis, but really that is the best way to prevent them from pooping and peeing on the grass. We have a dog run, really a fenced in area where all my mechanics for the house are. Until recently it was gravel, but after the last hurricane I am redoing...

Been living in Florida for over 20 years. Lived through the eye of Charley, Ian, and numerous other less powerful storms. Some of my houses and businesses were cinderblock based, some were wood framed. All were had wood in them. All of them were not airtight. Bugs are small,, and will get...

Not sure where in the south you live, but here in Florida it is just something you live with. My girlfriend kills them all the time, the bug killing guys comes every month and sprays inside and out, and the bugs keep coming. Making your house air tight is impossible, and from what I have been...

For Venice (KVNC)the FBO can get you a rental...as for Tampa multiple good choices. If you want something to cover both would recommend Sarasota/Bradenton(KSRQ).

You are new to the plane...did you speak to the previous owner and see what their take on it is?

For what it is worth this wrong place to ask advice, and not enough information even if it was the right place. Dbahn has advice that is certainly generally good, however, without knowing the specifics of your back issues, and yourself, and examining you, any suggestions as well meaning as they...

Found this in my Google feed. https://www.nbc-2.com/article/private-plane-veers-off-runway-page-field-south-fort-myers/60064813 How is this even news?

It is not stall speed. It is handling. The flight characteristics are not even close. I can do all sorts of things in the sim that would tear my 206 apart. I would suggest your landings had a lot more to do with your flying skills than with your use of FSX.

As others have said IMC is very different than VMC with foggles. When I did my IFR training, my CFII welcomed IMC. I am in Florida and so IMC occurs, however it can be associated with convective weather and so knowing the difference and avoiding the latter is quite important. This was before...

I have been using a flight sim for a number of years. I have a G1000 mock up, and honey comb controls. I use Xplane 12 now. For landings and take offs it is absolutely useless. I have a mock up of my T206H. I have "landed" on the island where the Statue of Liberty is, on the George...

A little confused here. At a towered field while the tower is open the way I land is based on what the tower tells me. If circumstances require me to do something different then I need permission from the tower. Either way the tower tells me what to do. At an uncontrolled field it is left...

Cannot comment on the FAA view but certainly the way you put it is reasonable. That being said books have been written on hydrocephalus and the condition is quite complicated and varied. As for shunt failure symptoms they can be quite variable and can range from subtle to not so subtle to...
