Installing a different powerplant in a certificated aircraft doesn't make it an experimental aircraft. It wouldn't meet the 50% requirement for an amateur-built aircraft. §21.191 Experimental certificates. Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes: (a) Research and...

Do you plan to pursue an STC for the turbine R-22?

The "official answer" would work if the TFR was issued under Part 99.7. I didn't consider the part-time airspace; though, I wonder if there would be enough interest to cause an unsafe gathering of aircraft. More likely, they just don't want photos/video of it. When I ran ATC at Vance AFB, the...

I was thinking it was one of the UAVs that uses a vertical trap wire. I guess the need an hour to set up the arresting system and land the UAV. As for the airspace, it sounds like they might have some sort of sense and avoid system (ground-based radar?) that the FAA has approved them to use. If...

Where are you getting this information? If the UAV uses a launcher and a trap wire, they don't need to operate from an airport. They can operate from any open area. I don't know where they came up with the SSI, but the only way they can restrict airspace is with a TFR.

That is my guess. My question is why the TFR is promulgated under Part 99.7. I'd like some to explain how it is a matter of national security.

The only wind available to controllers is from 30 ft. above ground level at an airport. It helps for takeoffs and landings, but the wind at altitude can be significantly different, so really no use to a radar controller.

I just bought an unlocked 32 GB Motorola Moto g6 at Costco (no Verizon bloatware). Happy with it so far.

The plane that landed ahead of them didn't exit the runway as quickly as ATC thought it would. Happens every day at busy airports.

"Near the airport's tower." Ha ha.

Grissom ATC is staffed by Air Force civilian 2152s.

It's a replica. https://www.airforceoneexperience.com/

Only if it was an Air Force 172.

Is there any common factor in these NMAC's?

Timely resurrection of the thread. I'm prepping for one in the morning. The prep procedure is an improvement over my previous ones. No raw veggies, for three days prior, liquid diet today, 32 oz. of the stuff at 5:00 this evening and 32 oz. at 5:00 am. This time the stuff doesn't taste bad. My...

Perhaps the controllers didn't hear the OP's readback because the flight was transmitting on UHF at the same time.

Really? You are sitting at an intersection and a car making a left turn cuts the corner, essentially nose to nose with you. That motorcycle is not going to magically move to the right without also accelerating toward the car.
