You should get a degree regardless. Gives you a back-up option if the industry grinds to a halt again at any point in your career. Start...

:yeahthat: Kids can land gliders, and even I can land a tailwheel, so I'm going with "neither can be very hard".

Best.

If by "best economy" you mean "most nautical miles per gallon of fuel burned", then running at peak EGT will not be best economy. You...

Leaning by roughness will produce very different results in different engines. If carbed verses injected the difference can be dramatic.

Great questions! “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler” - well, here (leaning) we have a topic where in my...

Doesn't that mean that you have to have a specific fuel flow for each specific density altitude? And how do you determine optimal fuel...

I think most sources I’ve seen call for 65% or less for leaning peak egt. So for my cross counties, that is predominantly what I’ve done...

None if you’re below 75% power.

I've used such "secret" waypoints successfully here and there, but in general it makes things easier if your flight plan fixes are...

:yeahthat: Waypoints with an enroute function on the enroute charts. Waypoints with an arrival or departure function on the DP or STAR...

A lot of GPS fixes exist that are part of approaches or departure/ arrival procedures, and are only charted on the plates for those...

That's mathematically correct. But airplanes don't jump around in space randomly. With a known approximate starting position and Kalman...

That's actually how business jets and airliners used to navigate before GPS - by using two DME stations (DME/DME NAV). That was not that...

FOGs are better. The long path available from a coil of fiber gives better sensitivity. But the performance of MEMS devices is...
