    Spatial Disorientation

    More than likely it’s caused, at least in part, by disuse. With an average of 2.5 hours in actual per year, how much hood time do you get in a year?

    DPE availability in unacceptable

    The FAA will likely come back with, “very few checkrides are scheduled more than two weeks after the date of the recommendation in IACRA.” Initiating the scheduling policies @Clip4 mentioned first would go a long way toward providing an apples-to-apples comparison.

    DPE availability in unacceptable

    Nothing was said about losing the deposit for any of those reasons. It appears that’s the goal of the ideas being kicked around. No, they don’t. Two weeks is not an unreasonable time for rescheduling due to weather. If the student can’t figure out that he’s qualified because all logbook...

    DPE availability in unacceptable

    Yup…thinking like a customer, with respect to the post I responded to, I stand behind my statement 100%. DPE schedule availability has no impact on substandard training. The reverse, however, is likely true…substandard training has a tremendous effect on DPE availability.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    If I had time, I’d make my “perfect” pocket knife. But I’ve got too many projects like that already.

    Taking a deeper dive into maneuvering speed

    We’re also talking about the certification standards. A vertical gust of regulatory proportions isn’t necessarily going to result in the same AOA change as full control travel.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    To misquote Mae West, “Is that a Camillus U.S. in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?” :D

    With the new ACS rules, is GPS alone sufficient for IR?

    True, but if you fly the wrong track using either NDB or GPS, the consequences are very similar.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    Just thinking back to when I spent summers with my Grandpa in Alaska at 15 & 16 years old…I carried a 3 1/2” lock back, and it was the smallest knife on the airliner coming home.

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    I think that’s also a chapter title in a Gann book…our 8th grade English teacher headed off the pronunciation question pretty quickly when we were reading it.

    Pocket knife: Weird or normal?

    If all you’ve got is a hammer, everything’s a nail. If all you’ve got is a knife, **** needs cuttin’.

    DIY Electronic Nerd Project Ideas for Aviation

    Couple thoughts… First, since you’re in the Chicago area, you need something to remotely control a weed burner for preheat. The second I’m a little afraid to bring up, but maybe a fuel gauging system that’s as accurate as you want.

    Taking a deeper dive into maneuvering speed

    They’re not calling Va a “gust penetration speed.” “maneuvering speed” “gust penetration speed” are two different speeds with different sets of regulatory criteria. In many (most?) light planes, they’re close enough that the manufacturer provides one number for both.
