If we are having a pedantry pageant, then one might point out that pilots are supposed to determine when supplemental oxygen is required based on pressure altitude.

Not all 310Rs were FIKI. I don’t know how easy it is to find one for sale. I know the difference between the FIKI and “full de-ice” planes and it isn’t enough to change how I operate.

I don’t know what the standard is and suspect it’s the word people use in place of average or typical, but the length from the rear end of the tip tanks to the front end of the nose can exceed what’s available in many T hangars. That’s particularly the case for the 310R with its nose baggage...

Have her sit in the Seneca on the ground and compare the motion sickness to the Lance in flight.

That's just rude. Never interrupt a cute girl's huge fart, even if you're a donkey.

You should be able to get a key from a John Deere to work. My homebuilt has nothing keyed. I drilled a hole in the canopy latch for a padlock but then I realized I will never lock it… Unlocked: If someone wants to steal my radios, my insurance will buy me new radios and I’ll go flying soon...

Probably try to sell the plane.

This meme is disappointing. The actual line is much, much funnier.

I think the oxygen-dries-you-out experience varies from person to person. I get plenty of nosebleeds in dry weather, but haven’t had any issues when using a cannula. Granted, I haven’t used oxygen in flight for more than an hour or two at a time. But I’m not as concerned about those issues as I...

I was going to say it's because the OP has class and style, but given that he needs help being talked out of a Cirrus I decided I can't be sure of that. So let's go with "boxer engine." :)

Are you making a choice between a Cirrus plus a Corolla and a Lance plus a 911? That would talk me out of the Cirrus pretty easily. If we just need to talk you out of a Cirrus in a vacuum, then it's a bit harder. But go through the last few major trips you have flown and compare how you did...

I remember when I used to be selective about which people I avoided IRL.

Username checks.

I’m getting more excited for my switch back to ForeFlight from Garmin Pilot. I planned a short flight just now. It wouldn’t auto-populate the estimated time en route field for me even though it calculated it for each altitude I tried selecting. So I had to transfer that by hand. But what gave me...

Fortunately, that next decade is more than half gone already. He posted in January 2018 that the kids were 13, 11, and 10. They are probably about 20, 18, and 17 now.

How?

New joke, coming up! Letters to Alcoholics

And maybe be explicit about not wanting TRSA services. KFAR ground tends to give you a squawk code and departure frequency without prompting. As the classic song goes, “the air is polluted and the mayor’s a dork, they dress really bad and they think they’re New York.”

I live in one of the few places in the civilized world where that can be a sincere excuse. But no, my actual response was somewhat more ... what's the word ... postal.

They locked my post office box once because they lost my payment in the mail.
