Besides, there is NOTHING WRONG with bringing a club 182 to Gaston's.

Except the club 82 will be landed at BPK due to stupid club rules limiting ops to hard surfaced runways.

Does duct tape stop the wings from leaking?

No, but 100mph tape ("hunerd mile'n har" in Southern dialect) would!!!

Yep. My duct tape is STC'd just in case the glue delaminates....I always keep my wing panels numbered for, for, just such an emergency.

Yup, now that I read this, I remember hearing that before (during my instrument training). I'll try to find the reference. Thanks for jogging the neurons. DME is an interrogate/reply system, whereas the VOR is just "listen" from the aircraft standpoint. Therefore, there is a "bandwidth" limitation on how many DME requests the ground-based equipment can handle in a given time frame.

IIRC the design limit is 100 simultaneous interrogators, but I believe that most if not all DME stations simply start blocking responses to random pulse pairs so that all get services at a reduced rate.

No, I just quit putting gas in.
