    IF domestic travel is restricted...

    According to their fee schedule, LAX landing fees only apply for air carriers. Unless, of course, I missed something (likely).

    While we all freak out over Corona Virus

    It costs twice that to pull it out of the ground here in the U.S. and Canada.

    Possible treatment for Covid-19

    The FDA needs to stay TFO of this and just let researchers do their thing.

    IF domestic travel is restricted...

    If they shut down airline travel, I'm heading over to LAX to run a few trips around the pattern.

    While we all freak out over Corona Virus

    They tried this in 2014 and it hurt for a little but came back with a vengeance. The reason why oil isn't $150 a barrel is North American production. OPEC wants control, nothing more.

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    The silver lining in MRE's, you won't need TP because you ain't poopin'.

    Mooney down in newhall

    The pilot sounded frustrated at times. After his read back I heard him say “f***!” pretty harshly and make another loud groan after that. The weather has been pretty solid IFR the past few days but not terribly low. It seemed more like good practice days, to me.

    Life aboard Grand Princess

    To most people, hardship is no wifi or Starbucks making their overpriced coffee wrong. Throw them into a situation that requires them to do something like pee in a bush and they'll have a panic attack. Sure, being stuck onboard a disease incubation chamber is no bueno, they need to realize...

    can't stall this plane..

    Now try doing it with a little bit of skid. You'll see exactly how a 150 stalls.

    Why you need a good carbon monoxide detector

    Another problem with CO is if, you recognize its effects and open a vent or a window, it often won't help as expected. At normal atmospheric pressures, CO bonds with your blood more readily than oxygen and doesn't want to let go. This is why they use hyperbaric chambers to treat CO poisoning...

    [NA] so sick of iTunes

    Use iTunes to convert the files to a more universal format like MP3. Then pull the files out and place them wherever you want.

    Impossible turn fun...

    I think this is a mischaracterization of what he is trying to communicate. This guy has practiced the maneuver at altitude, recognizes possible "gotchas" and admits that the likelihood of success would be significantly diminished. It's almost like saying we shouldn't practice spin recognition...

    My Corona.....not the song. ;-)

    Most of the numbers being published seem to be known cases that accompanied positive test results. Based on reports, a HUGE number of people are showing little to no symptoms and may just be feeling a little under the weather. These people are presumptively not seeking treatment and/or being...

    Coliseum Route --- So.Cal.

    Just cancel once through the bravo. IFR in the L.A. basin is easier, IMO. He can also run the SFRA which is nice and easy.

    Coliseum Route --- So.Cal.

    If you're instrument rated, file IFR and they'll take you right over LAX, usually SLI-POPPR-SMO.

    Impossible turn fun...

    The video was not meant as a comprehensive how-to on making a low-altitude 180 after an engine failure. It was to dispel the myth that it's "impossible." He demonstrated so within the first minute or so of the video. He also explains that it us something to take into consideration in training...

    Toilet talk [rant]

    You can't do ANY plumbing job without multiple trips to the store for some fitting, adapter, or hose that you were sure you either had tor didn't need.

    40deg flaps

    Dropping 40° in a C150 is like slamming on the brakes.

    Request

    I like to state that I'm VFR prior to making a request what trying to get flight following. Sometimes they get busy and if they hear that they know don't need to get the request before telling you to eff off and all back later. If I just state my N-number, then they need to respond, then I...
