When I flew the Shorts that amount of tilt would have gotten my attention, except on the ground. May be wroth a look. Are the manuals still available?

Bit bumpy was it?

" . . . is far simpler than flying needles. Being a Luddite - correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it required that you fly the needle and not the moving map when flying a GPS approach.

Interesting, thank you for the post. Is the Citation X still your fastest ship?

Or flying checks, which is what I did in the mid 80's.

Sigh, Eman, Eman, Eman, friend, bruh, pilot. Anecdotal evidence is not proof or fact, it's just a story.

Impressive - a Cessna with air conditioning. Why would air conditioning failure cause you to land.:dunno: Seriously though, does anyone still do traffic patrol from aircraft?

Dramatic indeed. But so what? Unvaccinated people are incubators for new variants. When you say "snorting his way across the USA" what are you snorting?

PDP-11 - Nice.

I have no idea of why the LPV mins are so high. I did look at all three charts (ILS/LOC 5, VOR 5, RNAV 5) and the one thing I noticed that did vary significantly is the missed approach procedure. The RNAV has you going back to the IAF while the ILS & VOR have you proceeding to an intersection...

Watching the far end of the runway cures a multiple of sins.

With heel brakes I avoid that problem.

I'll start: Verazzano narrows.

I typically try to stay sharp with three-point and wheel landings. I've talked to folks who say a small tail dragger should never make wheel landings. Your thoughts?

I always carry a local sectional chart but use it mostly to cover the instrument panel. Same result - must look out the window.

Leave it to Ted to show up with a beautiful woman and a Seneca.

Thanks for all responses. I believe the 30 degree turn for radar identification was superfluous but I did not object because it put me on a nice extended downwind. He was working four aircraft, none in the pattern, and no one near me. I'm pretty sure this was just so he could use radar. I...
