I stand corrected.

Shortly after takeoff would imply that they were switching tanks during initial climbout. Assuming it was set to an incorrect position upon entering the runway, I wouldn't expect the engine would run long enough to make it to takeoff speed much less climbing out.

Is there another official designation for a C172 converted to a tailwheel?? I can understand if you said you had a C172 and it was actually a C172RG but if there is no official FAA designation for a C172 tailwheel and they neglected to ask if it was or what modifications were made to the plane...

Gel-Mann amnesia is what you're referring to. I tend to disbelieve a good portion of things any media reports on.

That video is absolutely worthless other than showing that it had a normal takeoff climb and then extreme left bank right before impact with the ground. There are better, sharper images of spacecraft landing on other planets and this is all we have here on Earth? Given how quickly it "appears"...

To any pilot, if you are having an issue, forget what you were attempting to do and fly the plane. Confess to ATC that you need help getting out of the situation you are in so that you can lighten the workload. Straight and level or a simple climb are easy tasks. Trying to recover from a...

I can attest to this. At KOXR and KCMA, if you get vectored south by Mugu they will dump you at the FAF at 4,000 because of terrain. You then have to dump a ****load of altitude to get one the glideslope. Had to do this twice in IMC. It isn't fun but doable if you are aware and prepared.

The west coast is known for consistent marine layer during the summer months. Sometimes it lasts for days. I had nearly seven hours of actual by the time I took my IR checkride because of it. It's usually a thin layer, and smooth, but offers many opportunities to get actual time. Sometimes...

Easiest from Santa Barbara is to follow the valley up from SZP to Santa Clarita then southeast and call in over Newhall Pass for a straight-in.

Any place providing steak sauce is basically telling me they know there is a significant possibility that their steaks suck. A steak only needs salt and pepper. Sometimes a nice compound butter will add more happiness to my meat.

I usually get called "November," no matter what month it happens to be.

Oxnard is indeed closed.

I have two rules about money. I don’t bail anyone out and I don’t co-sign for anyone. I wouldn’t even do it for my own wife. The $80k for the 141 school is a massive waste and more than likely a low number. If he can’t complete the curriculum and pass high check rides in the specified number...

I've been wearing Duluth Buck Naked chonies for years, now. Won't wear anything else, though they are a pretty penny. I bought my wife a pair of their ladies undies and her mind was blown. They're kinda granny panties but loves them better than anything. She tossed a whole bunch of old...

This guy posted about this on the Vans Air Force forum a few months ago. He was literally on his way home with a CFI after purchasing the plane when Bambi ran out in front of him on landing.

I don't even care about the lack of TP in the stores. I have enough to last a few month under current use and I have a shower next to the toilet with a detachable head. Priorities aren't something most people tend to pay attention to. Hell, the line in front of the drinking water dispenser...

I transferred my stuff to digital at about the same time as you. I haven't gone with any of the EFB logs. Instead, I made my own Excel logbook so I can customize it how I like. I also add tabs for training requirements for IR and CPL as well as IACRA and summary pages for currency. It's been...

Tell him to come back, if/when this passes.

But, the commercial told me you can't take them if you have heart problems.

They can halt production of boner pills and ramp up this stuff.
