    P-lead voltage rating requirement

    Hmm... Connector failure is a theoretical possibility while in real life I did break off the p-lead by trying to connect the mag light in tight cowling space and noticed it only during runup before the next flight.

    P-lead voltage rating requirement

    I mean the voltage rating as in "insulation breakdown". Mike Busch says the actual voltage on the p-lead terminal is 200-300V (https://www.savvyaviation.com/how-mags-work/), but I would rather see a design requirement. Thinking of installing a connector in the p-lead wire to simplify mag timing...

    Humpty and Sharks Tooth

    this. you can fly a wide humpty and it's not going to be a downgrade, though a tight one looks better.

    Humpty and Sharks Tooth

    it is important to start and end the 1/2 loop at the top of the humpty at the same altitude. the radius is not a judging criterion but it is expected that it will be fairly tight. if you start the "pop" too late you will sink and fall out of that half-loop and never end it at the same altitude...

    Flight Review more than 2 hours

    It's hard to plan the flight to shut down at exactly 1.0 hours. It's common to fly around long enough to clock 1.2-1.3 flight time just to be certain that you don't shutdown at something like 0.9, otherwise you would need to fly again to complete the fricking BFR!

    Covid-19 shelter-in-place rules and GA

    The six-county shelter in place order explicitly says that it's a misdemeanor to not comply. The Bloomberg article, this in particular: "The first point to note is that the Bay Area order doesn’t — at present — contain any criminal sanction for violation" is an outright lie
