The @HandyDadTV YouTube channel has a number of videos comparing the different products and detailing installation.

The airport manager has to take action to establish, and later remove, the NOTAM. Bring it to their attention.

If the cabin altitude is decreasing, the cabin is descending. Sounds like the airplane descended below the current cabin altitude and the airplane was unpressurized. Either the descent was too fast or the cabin did not start descending at top-of-climb. That could mean a problem with the...

It depends on the student and where they are in the process. With a student just starting to learn pattern operations then the limit would be pretty low. He isn't going to be able to learn with the plane bouncing around in strong winds. As he gets closer to solo, the limits are higher as he...

Your terminology is unclear. The cabin climbs or it descends. Not sure which you consider "negative". Normally, the cabin will begin to descend at the top-of-descent, either automatically or when the pressurization controller is reset to landing field elevation. That is accomplished by the...

That was my point as well.

I don't understand. If it is required, it is not freedom.

Thanks for all the detail, Dan. I think the newest 172 I've flown was built in the 1980s.

Is the fuel servo part of the fuel injection system? All of my 172 time was in older carbureted models.

You want a symbol of freedom to be required?

Congratulations. That is a significant accomplishment. It takes a little while to build confidence with flying with students but they won't notice. Your comfort level will increase quickly. Don't talk too much. Give them time to absorb what you say.

Read the thread that was linked in an earlier reply. Short version is that somebody has to be legal to ACT as PIC in order for the airplane to legally fly. There is no requirmnt for that PIC to ever touch a single control. 14CFR61.51 defines when you can LOG flight time, including PIC. For a...

You can log time as PIC, you just can't ACT as PIC. You can do this with a CFI/II, if you want the instruction, or with a current and qualified pilot in the right seat who can ACT as PIC.

Right, thanks. We also have the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville and sometimes I type too fast for my own good. On the back? Better yet, the trucker's twins on the mirrors!

There's one in Nashville that's wrapped like the General Lee. It's Kidd Rock's.

That's not new. It came up many months ago. Only a small number (19?) of airplanes flying for US carriers were affected and they've all had the defective part removed.

That would certainly do it. Didn't have that information earlier. Initial coverage made it sounds like the wheel fire was the beginning of the event.

VAS Aviation has a video out on it now. Definitely more to it than the wheel fire.

I have no idea how a hard landing would cause a fire. You would expect, especially at LAS, that it was hot brakes leading to a brake fire but that takes several minutes before the fire starts. Temperature peaks after about 15 minutes. My only guess is that one tire failed and the metal on...
