Thats exactly what happened to me. This spring was windy every day flights were scheduled. Most times 10-20 with gusts. For the life of me I couldn't figure out landings. About 15 hours worth of touch and goes. One day it was very calm, took 4 landings. CFI got out and I soloed. Am probably a...

Your story sounds like mine. Been hard and slow at times. Several students that started later than me with less hours have graduated. Biggest problem I had was being nervous. Over that now. As long as your making progress keep at it. When I fly my goal is to improve at one item. Last week nailed...

Give me a 4 speed, manual hubs, 354 V8 will go anywhere. Might be nice to have AC but can live without it. Those old IH trucks were off road torque monsters. Owned a 1 ton International for a while simple, basic, worked. Those days are unfortunately gone forever.

There's also resistance to disease. Eliminate exposure reduce immunity. American Indians died from colds. I applaud someone who is sick wearing a mask in public but doubt the effectiveness. If they worked why was covid spread?

There's another thread on the unavailability of hangers which brings up my question. I live in Eastern Washington; the area gets snow and for a week or 2 each winter below zero temps. Hangers are hard to find. My question is basically how much damage does a plane endure outside? Obviously...

A friend installed a new battery in a Honda Gold Wing that was charged backwards + was -, - was +. Fried a lot of electronics. So possible, but the only time I heard of it.

They managed to break a base plate on a 1 of 1500 carb for a collector car of mine. Box looked like they used it as a football during break. 2 trips to the PO and filling out paperwork online they are sending the claim up the chain to a supervisor. Working on 4 weeks now. No reply.

Was able to talk my PCP into doing it. Told him none of it gets mailed to the FAA. He was hesitant but did it. Did try a couple Dr's first that did CDL physicals they wanted nothing to do with FAA. Really don't understand because a loaded dump truck could do a lot of damage. Either they are...

Considering the complexity, absolutely amazing Ford cranked out about 1 B24 an hour. Actually the quantity of all the war production was amazing. Would have been both a scarry and incredible time to live.

With insurance companies raising rates or denying coverage with basic med makes me wonder what will happen when MOSAIC is passed? No medical, no insurance?

Will add EV cars and trucks generally weight more than a comparable ICE vehicle. As an example, the local transit added a few EV busses. Those busses use a different tire to accommodate the increased weight. So, what about the roads? Has anyone calculated the energy [or even done a study] needed...

Thanks for all the comments. Will announce student pilot from now on. When the controller told me lahso at the intersecting runway it took a few seconds for it to register, then I called back. The plane on the other runway was a PC12 we would have been approaching the intersection about the same...

Requiring chargers and higher capacity electric at some new business construction. No ICE cars in a few states by 2035 and I believe here in Washington that's 2030. Rebates to make EV's "appear" more appealing. Not going any further with this, I will get banned.

A generalization, another forced change similar to battery cars. If unleaded is the best thing for aviation engines there would be no reason for the law. Everyone would buy it. Leaded fuel would be gone. The industry and individual owners should decide. After all its their life and money. Not...

No doubt will spread to Washington and Oregon. All 3 try to out stupid each other.

May be the controller did say TSA instead of GSA.

Google earth shows the red line. Rest of the area is no longer white. Would there be a need for customs checks in Idaho? 46°22'36"N 117°00'40"W

Gave me no advice, I think it is a good idea do it. The controllers all changed cadence, gave more instruction and basically kept me out of trouble. Have a load of other questions as well. One is the red line around the GSA ramp. Controller turned me around before entering that area. Don't...
