    Aircraft Paint Care: What Products? What Order?

    Sure... After washing, I wipe it down with kerosene (don't smoke while you do it [emoji4]). It will "dry" and leave a film. Wipe it to a deep shine. This is what it looks like on my car and truck. A nice side benefit... Put a cup in your wash water and it will act like a corrosion inhibitor...

    (Contact) Approach from the wrong direction?

    They will vector you MUCH closer than 20 miles. Ask for a turn-on at the marker. If the storms are that close to the airport, maybe wait it out. The other option puts you in a possible go-around into the weather. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    (Contact) Approach from the wrong direction?

    They won't do opposite direction operations. Just fly past and stay close to the airport. Why not do an ILS? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Low engine compressions - what would you do?

    You won't find this anywhere, but it worked very well for me. I had one cylinder beginning to drop compression and the oil was getting dirty quickly. I dumped a quart of MMO into the sump and ran the engine hard (75%) for about 15 hours. Also, run high MP and low rpm if you can. In other...

    How do you judge VMC?

    Easy way to judge distance: If everything is white... In the clouds If things are visible... Below the clouds. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    How do you judge VMC?

    Depends on the part of the country. Southern California, that's hard IFR. In Alaska, that's good VFR. [emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Hehe. Sure it would! You just have to make the stakes for losing unpalatable. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    How do you judge VMC?

    A great way to force your brain into the proper decision making mode: Think of every decision as a bet. In other words, 'would I bet $10,000 the decision I'm about to make is the correct one?' If the answer is no, the problem is one of two things... 1.) You don't have enough information to...

    Need help finding a "Courageous" Pilot

    The definition of courage really is, being scared and doing it anyway. I would look for someone that fits that bill. If you want stories of courageous pilots, I would look to the rescue pilots. These are the guys that go out no matter what the conditions and rescue people. Especially in Alaska...
