    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    The final report for the Tango and Juliet crash had a short description of events that came from the go-pro footage. It was detailed enough that the report could say what happened when down to the second.

    CFI and student die in crash SMO

    A pretty typical startle response is to grab onto something and planes just happen to have yokes/sticks right in front of your hands. This is not intentional but a reflexive action.

    GAMI vs Swift UL fuel competition

    Survivorship bias. The fact is lead is bad. And even if research could show that lead from burning 100LL is negligible next to "background" lead exposure it wouldn't matter to the public. Most people believe leaded gas doesn't exist anymore. It's an easier target and makes GA vulnerable. I know...

    Dale Snodgrass crash in Idaho

    And yet there are now two recorded incidents of this occurring for that aircraft. In one case the pilot got lucky and was able to disengage the control lock.

    Leaded gas and the EPA...here it comes

    Yeah, I'm not arguing the 19 year idea. It would be unstable. But instead arguing that the Founding Fathers did not believe they had created a perfect system. Nor should they and the constitution be given sacred status. The values of liberty and equality are timeless. The mechanical...

    Leaded gas and the EPA...here it comes

    Let's not forget that the structure of the federal government was at its core a compromise in order to get all states to sign on. The senate and the 3/5ths rule were to get the lower population southern states on board. This is not some optimal governing structure ordained by God. It was a...

    I applied for 3rd class. Now I am too far to turn back.

    I can understand how applicants get caught by surprise. But why on earth did the AME say it wouldn't be a problem???

    Is my dream of ever becoming a private pilot screwed?

    OCD is misused in popular speech. It is now frequently used when people used to say "anal-retentive." Being thorough is not OCD. OCD as defined in the DSM-V: https://beyondocd.org/information-for-individuals/clinical-definition-of-ocd

    7-4 Bonanza down near Aspen

    As a flatlander I could easily interpret "down valley" as referring to a southern valley/canyon. I think they meant to head towards Independence Pass, but got confused and went into the wrong canyon. Though I don't think they had even climbed enough for Independence Pass and likely still would...
