My -10 is much better than coach, but the -9 or smaller starts getting snug.

A good friend and CFI at 100 hrs taught me to do slow flight, barely above stall, at 2-3' agl, full length. I would not go that slow at 20' in gusty or xw conditions though. Teaches us not to be so nervous when getting close to the ground and you will learn more about your plane and your flying...

They know that many airplane owers are rich, and if they are not, they will still give up most everything else in their life to keep flying.

Crab it all the way in until stopped. Should be easy on the gear.

Sounds yummy, it is 12 F a ways south of you right now. Have fun.

Deactivate worked for my account.

You will learn to judge the relative movement between you and the nearby clouds at cruise. Compare to how the ground moves beneath you at 500', 1000' and 2000', during your next trip. You may have to level off and get to cruise speed before going to the next step.

There is no gentle way to say this, most of the higher-ups who are pushing for the repeal of AOA, know the device won't just go away. They also know a portion of pilots don't like Maui Wowie, and don't understand AOA's function. They are using this as leverage to play politics with your family's...

2000, 2002 and 2015...all three fixed per the above method. No state inspections. The latest one due to a tire pressure sensor that the dealer broke off and would not admit to it. Just left it in there for me to find 6000 mi later while doing an oil change. Not paying $200 when I can throw a $5...

I have a friend that crossed a narrow country road to land in a field and flew under the wires. The poles were easy to spot. He knew he did not have the energy to go over and did not try. Kept it low to the ground.

Good job going under those power lines back there and no wing tip damage.

60 hrs in 6 weeks. Milking the clock and my bank account.

Most new systems since 2010 contain 410a. Yes, those work great. Those systems were designed for that refrigerant. The older R22 equipment was not designed for the numerous "drop-in" refrigerants that are on the market now.

What was this thread about again? Interesting and informative anyway. All of you with the old R22 refrigerant in your HVAC systems, get ready to switch over to one of the LESS efficient refrigerants the next time you need it added or have to repair anything in the refrigerant circuit. Well...

In-flight, I want to see 0 ppm, just like in my HVAC client's homes. As others mentioned, you might see some low numbers during runup and taxi, depending on winds and other nearby aircraft. Try driving on I-75/85 rush hour traffic in Atlanta with the CO detector. I put it away. No wonder that...

Yes it has. We are professionals, and I think most of us want many of the same things out out of life. I try to talk to you guys and gals, as if we just met at the local airport.

Keep a Stihl in the baggage compartment. If you drift into trees under canopy, at least you can cut yourself down.

Our Electric-Arc plant just filed Ch 11 bankruptcy last month and the one I mentioned earlier was a Coke-Fired plant that laid off all but 120 of its 5500 employees(at peak times). Reduced demand from domestic energy producers, weakened iron ore and steel scrap pricing, weaker demand from the...

I installed a "push to enable switch" on my elevator trim. It is very fast and powerful when above 125 kts.

In my 20's, yep.
