It all depends on when the failure occurs. I've always thought the railroad tracks were a sketchy yet best choice option down low like this guy. You get up a little higher and you get a couple more options.

This happened at my home airport. I've envisioned this scenario dozens of times...it's actually crazy to see it play out for real. Straight out of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie! I put together a visual analysis that might help provide a little context to how it all unfolded:

it was actually quite interesting, both from a pilotage POV and the mission itself.

I’m glad you reached out but take that response with a grain of salt. I got an email from her back in April saying the 2nd comment period was going to begin in July.

While I’m glad nobody at the airport was hurt…that’s awful. Can’t be good for insurance rates :(

Santa Ynez...walk into town/Casino San Luis Obispo...eat at the restaurant on field/uber or crew car into town Lake Havasu...have a bite at Hangar 24 (if open) Santa Barbara...get a bike from Atlantic and head to the beach Oceano...walk to the beach

this happened about 2 weeks ago on the Kingston bridge heading eastbound. The westbound side doesn’t have a toll. Either way, I stuck 2 bucks in an envelope and sent it to them, lol. Everywhere else around there has the auto toll…that’s why I thought it was so odd the bridge only took cash/ez...

I made a video last year about my top 6 airports in SoCal. It’s a good place to start. Skip to 1:15….

I was in nearby Woodstock a couple weeks ago. Sounds funny but make sure you have cash when crossing some of the bridges over the Hudson. Some of those toll bridges only take cash (a whopping 1.75 for the Kingston bridge) or EZ Pass. I didn't have cash and got a ticket. You can send in the toll...

I don’t know much about helicopter regs. Obviously this was unusual, but was it actually illegal? Supposedly he had permission from the lot owner…...

I've never seen this digital tach before. Only the EI one. Interesting.

Thx for all the input. Just to answer a few of the questions... The tach is new. My mechanic has spoken with someone at Mitchell and we've gone thru all the steps they've suggested. The next step would be to send it in to them. As far as the accuracy of the handheld digital tach reader, it...

I've been trying to lockdown issues with my tach and curious for input. Long story short, a few months ago, the analog tach on my Grumman Tiger took a dump and I needed to replace. I didn't (and still don't) wanna go the digital tach route. After my mechanic installed a new Mitchell analog...

I flew in earlier this year. It’s in fine condition. Don’t forget to sign the guest book. The more proof people are using the airstrip the better.

its important to remember that this “designated anchorage” isn’t normally a place where ships have anchored in the past. Up until the global supply chain crisis, there was typically no more than one or two ships waiting for a spot to open up at the port. These days there are about 70. It’s...

Interesting observation from your brother regarding the dirt/silt. I sincerely hope he's right about that. For what it's worth, I have read that oil deposits don't always float and can indeed collect to sediment near shorelines. The section I flew over was the area being reported as having been...

I haven't been posting many videos here lately but I thought this might be one that may interest some of you. As you probably know, there was an oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach on Saturday. Last reported at around 3,000 barrels. They ended up cancelling the last day of the Pacific...

I think that was his previous flight. The crash occurred just south of the runway.

It suspiciously sounds like somebody at the Fresno FSDO wants to make this difficult for you personally. Maybe I'm wrong but it's not a far-fetched thought. Perhaps try another FSDO? Best of luck.

An AD seems to be coming for that incident, but it should only apply to AA5’s…not Tigers.
