Yeah, I'm actually way more concerned with storm surge than wind as both my hangar and my house (which includes my boat) are in flood zones. And of course the current cone shows it on the worst possible track for Tampa due to the CCW rotation for tropical cyclones and the geographic layout of...

I don't move my plane or my boat. That's why I have insurance.

Like I said over on VAF to this same question, you are going to have to take these various techniques as a starting point and experiment to find the exact procedure that your engine and setup likes. You might get lucky and find one or more of these techniques works as advertised with no...

It won’t be better. The effort required to accomplish what you propose is monumental. Doable, google Twin Jag, but it’s a major engineering effort and probably the hardest way into twin ownership. Just trying to manage expectations.

Thinking about designing your own or buying something already built? Curious as to what you are thinking as there’s not a lot out there. Beside the Velocity twin and Aircam (and discounting the Cri-Cri) only aware of 2 twin RVs one of which crashed on a high speed taxi test that went South.

The last one I heard was over a year ago and was a repeated call by the USCG for an overturned boat that was bobbing around posing a hazard to navigation

My perspective is first, all MayDays are Emergency's but not all Emergency's are MayDays. Second, when in doubt declare and sort it out on the ground. In my mind the heat of the moment is the absolute wrong time to try and figure if a given situation rates making the call. At the very least...

My guess is the 2nd one is a typo

Won't debate whether ADs apply to E-AB or not, but in my mind I think E-AB owners need to be very careful if they choose to ignore ADs simply because they believe they don't have to be adhered to--generally there's a good reason they were issued. Truth in lending, I personally adhere to them as...

All of the aircraft camping/parking areas are inside the fence. For N40 if you travel along the roads towards the show you ll come to security check points to transit to Warbirds or HBC where they will check for wristbands only. No such checkpoints for HBC, Vintage, or S40. So overall if you...

FYI there’s numerous ways to get just about anything into the show whether you’re a pilot or not short of a tank, AFV, or MRAP without even trying. As for alcohol, EAA really doesn’t police the camping areas and even the gate security, depending on the gate and time , can be accommodating...

True statement and most likely why EAA will be writing a check at some point. I know some changes were made as a result of last year but other than changes to the pattern flow I'm not sure if they implemented more controls over non-adherence by pilots conducting show operations. If they didn't...

The Autogyro pilot didn't follow procedure for the ultralight pattern as prescribed during the morning ops-safety brief. It had nothing to do with the NOTAM or ATC deficiencies. Is OSH perfect, no, but as others have stated if you understand and follow the rules it's manageable risk. The best...

I understand that. Like I said, unless they draw attention to themselves which I admit in Dan's case would almost be a given.

That having a ban list does nothing at OSH.

I think that this list is a bit of a joke. Anyone of those yahoos could easily waltz into OSH and no one from EAA would be the wiser unless they drew attention to themselves.

IBTL.

I would agree with that assessment. From my perspective most of the issues that have resulted accidents is the tight downwind/base to a spot landing that a lot of pilots simply don't practice in an aircraft near GW. I see the arrival and familiarity/adherence to the NOTAM as potential...

Not a CFI of any flavor.
