Anyone heard of progress in the investigation?

No one much cared when the runway lights were out at my homedrome for a while. One of those nights I was working in my hangar, storms all around and heard a twin turboprop circling overhead, I thought he was pretty eager to find a safe place to put down for the night considering the lightning...

adjust the % as you see fit, Chris - I was being generous I guess!

That's what the consuming public won't hear or understand; 99% of Hertz rentals go flawlessly. If however, you are in that 1% where it doesn't go well - major pain. And the other companies don't seem to have that (horrendous) 1% problem. I'm so damn unlucky, I ain't takin no chances with Hurtz!

Each laser should be emblazoned on the device "You will be raped for years in prison if you shoot this at airplanes!" Sorry to seem harsh but I value my retinas, and can imagine how the many monocular pilots feel about this.

I think as the CG moves aft, it moves closer to the CL. The closer the CG is to the CL, less stick force is required to move the control surface a certain amount. So, with an aft CG, there is less elevator stick force required to move the control surface which is referred to as 'light on the...

He wasn’t even trying to see the runway; homegrown approach & 1950’s cockpit dynamics.

I heard he was refueled, tires changed, windshield cleaned before he even opened the door.

my wag: energizing the NC avionics contactor breaks that circuit, so the radios are not powered during ground power use. probably to prevent surges to the avionics during GPU use.

I wrote ktla, pointing out they had the wrong airplane photo. Sent them @Katamarino 's plane, they gonna fix the article shortly.

Do journalists use a shared image database? Your airplane did not appear when I googled cessna, airplane, light airplane, aircraft etc.

Getting your clearance on the ground may not always be the fastest. Have heard "Your release time will be delayed due to saturation; call back in 20 minutes" (Getting clearance on ground may well resolve your concerns about traffic, however.)

Lived on Lake Huron east shore a few years, saw some ferocious storms.....and those in Gichigami were far worse. We drove past Whitefish bay last summer (2023) and had the song on our playlist so..we sang along as we drove past.

A new one from Hertz! Steve Lehto is also impressed with how they can keep coming up with new ways to deceive and aggravate their customers!

If yours is not their brand who knows maybe they will test it? (Push through any warnings about the website being unsafe) https://rj.aircraft-tool.com/Detail?id=2E-WARRANTY

Are business aircraft considered taxable property in Texas (they are listed under a business name and used partly for personal use, partly 135)

This article talks about a star that is spinning fast. Really fast. I want to calculate the star's speed at its equator in mph. ie: if the speed of a 'star particle' on the surface, at the fastest point (the equator if that is the right term for stars) could be measured with a celestial speed...
