Actually Vernal is in Utah, while only 35 miles or so west of the CO/UT border, it is still in Utah.

John is with Journeys at Boulder now. Another recommendation for John!

So adding this in just as a data point. I am one of the elusive pilots using an Android tablet in the airplane. I have a Asus Transformer and have been using it for a couple of years now. I run Avilution Aviation Maps app. It does everything that I want, georefed FAA charts with postion...

I have flown a single engine piston a couple of times when the GROUND temp was -35 to -35...

It is a three blade. The third blade had barely any metal missing.

Below is a post that the pilot in question made on the club website concerning the incident: To All Members, I am regretfully writing you to inform you that I made a huge pilot error last night. While preparing to do some night flying full stop landings for currency, I forgot to pull the...

Wow, pretty interesting stuff. I am going to do a little more research tonight. I am only one member of the club, so by myself can't really affect what happens, but I can always try to convince others. Bottom line though is that I need to be able to trust the airplane over the mountains when...

Actually prop strike happened on his third landing, so he actually is current :lol: Yea, probably not the best idea to do a leaseback on your beautiful plane! He just got his license in December. The club requires 125 hours to get into the 182, so he has at least that many (in his logbook...

BTW, Pilot is claiming a downdraft. Flight took place about 9:30 pm MDT(03:30 Zulu). Below are the METARs surrounding that time period. KSBS 240435Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/M07 A3023 RMK AO1 T01891068 KSBS 240415Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 19/M06 A3023 RMK AO1 T01931061 KSBS 240355Z AUTO...

I did too, but the mechanic said that according the to Lycoming AD that it was not necessary in this case. Attached is the AD. The mechanic said that the prop required "minor dressing" according to McCauley, and that did not trigger the AD.

Our Bylaws state that if the accident is your fault you pay the insurance deductible. I think our deductible is 2AMUs. We just went through this last August when our T182R was gear-upped.

The 182 that our club owns was landed hard on the nose wheel last night. The pilot was doing landings to get night current again. He was nose low enough to hit the prop on the runway. Mechanic was able to dress out the damage on the prop and keep the prop within specs, so he is saying no...

John, we should do a breakfast run some morning once you get back from OSH. Aspen is a fun flight, and they have crew cars. Just have to pay the $30 ramp fee.

The fun thing about SBS is that the runway heading was dictated by terrain, not prevailing wind, so if it is blowing at SBS, it is almost always a crosswind. Most of the time 32 is favored with a left quartering crosswind. There is a little hill/knoll on the west side of the runway right about...

Unfortunately it appears that this is the second crash in 5 years that can be attributed to loss of basic pilot skills (Air France 447, being the other). Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

Actually I think it is kitten flavored bacon :wink2:

I have been assigned honey do's this weekend, so I am out.

Well, if he lives in CO or WA then he is not violating any STATE laws. Of course the FAA is a Federal org, so that might still be a problem. (all said as I enjoy the double standard of drinking a beer!)

Wow that really sucks, sorry to hear this.

I will probably be down in Denver that weekend. Would love to go as self loading baggage from either BJC of BDU.
