Someone needs to check that scan. Let's see if you can spot why.

 

[SoCal RV Flyer]

1000 fpm climb at 0 airspeed?

 

[MAKG1]

1000 fpm climb at 0 airspeed?

How do you know that isn't 210 knots?

It's a helluva climb performance for nearly level pitch.

What kind of idiot puts the AI off to the side?

 

[SoCal RV Flyer]

How do you know that isn't 210 knots?

It would likely need to be in a dive to peg the indicated airspeed dial.

 

[l8evator]

Obviously it's the very top of a zoom climb then push over to level. The rate of climb indicator on these shoes is not an instant read instrument.

 

[mscard88]

Forgot to hook up the instruments.

 

[Stingray Don]

Inop

 

[wrbix]

Soles on board: 2

 

[mscard88]

shoes don't fly

 

[retpd2001]

High performance take off in a helicopter.

 

[exncsurfer]

Pulled the chute and got caught in an updraft

 

[RyanB]

shoes don't fly

I could see you with a pair of those.

 

[ktup-flyer]

Needs an AOA

 

[mscard88]

I could see you with a pair of those.

With loud Bermuda shorts right?

 

[Jeff Oslick]

Flying while wearing high tops would get uncomfortable.

 

[flhrci]

I agree that mscard would probably wear those and I think eman1200 would also.

 

[BigBadLou]

1000 fpm climb at 0 airspeed?

He might not be in a climb or stalled. He might have just gotten some ice on the pitot and static ports.

 

[Wingsofglass]

I would never wear those shoes without the addition of synthetic vision except maybe on the clearest of days and then only if following a clearly painted magenta line on the pavement.

 

[RyanB]

I agree that mscard would probably wear those and I think eman1200 would also.

Most definitely LOL

Tsk tsk! Jealous....I be rockin' them shoes!

Not jealous, I am not like that! No, no, no.

 

[Yeti Niner Five]

Hammerhead!

 

[NoHeat]

This just goes to show why we should all stick to TSO'd shoes.

Cut-rate experimental footware might seem tempting, but it just doesn't measure up.

 

[Stingray Don]

Pull that AI and install a G5!

 

[hotprops]

shoes and flying such a great story!!! as a beginner i ONLY flew with what we called sneakers back in the day . o well one day i got in my champ and almost declared a emergency as i realized i had regular street leather bottom footwear. thank goodness i had no electric or radios

 

[Velocity173]

Helicopter shoes but generally inaccurate. A level attitude is usually an accelerating attitude so you won't be indicating 0 airspeed for long.

 

[Dana]

I prefer to fly barefoot.

 

[Ravioli]

Them things are fabric.

 

[Unit74]

Clearly imposters..... Tivas are the only approved footwear for single engine aviators. Those things are only for Sim drivers and should not be let out of the house!

 

[ColoPilot]

They're probably made in the same Chinese factory that made the Skycatcher.

 

[Acrodustertoo]

Are they going to make these in a flip flop?
I didn't get to see the top but I would assume that is where they put the landing calculator. After all that is one of the essential tools.

 

[Shepherd]

I would wear those just to annoy my wife and kids.

I heard you don't need shoes to,do that. Your doing just fine as it stands.....

 

[Ravioli]

These are my RV shoes. Comfortable and color matched to the plane! Got a pair for @Ravioli's co-pilot too. Not the first or last time she got to say "you're crazy". Same response as the tents for Oshkosh. Trend detected

Or obsessed.

With the high cost of flying these days, soon we might all be doing this

Sad, but all too true.
