    Running tanks dry in cruise

    It is not for the flight you planned that you need every drop. It is for the flight that didn’t go as planned... And when everything goes south, wx drops below mins, the wx guessers were wrong and some fool gears up on the only useable runway at your alternate that knowing “exactly”* how many...

    What fly-ins do you plan to attend in 2019?

    No other grass strip you would practice in will be as nice and smooth as triple tree. Ive played many a golf course that would give much to have fairways as nice as triple tree’s runway. In fact, I’ve played courses whose greens weren’t as nice as triple tree’s runway. It’s the Groom Lake...

    Owner Advisory: McCauley Prop Governor Gear Bearing Inspection

    Just pulled my governor off and dragged it to a local (authorized McCauley) prop shop. Bought it new in May 2017 and the serial number is not on the list of this “not affected”.. Kinda sucks to be grounded for a couple weeks, but at least McCauley is footing the bill. Sent from my...

    Piper Comanche 250 vs Mooney M20F which one is better?

    Coupe vs SUV? Both are great planes. Both are traveling machines. The question is how much stuff/many people do you want to carry and in how much comfort... Full disclosure: I am proud owner of a Comanche 250. I cruise at 160-165kts TAS between 9,000 & 12,000 ft most of the time on about...

    You really can't make this stuff up sometimes....

    The twin Comanches have a tendency to try and fly at or below Vmca, which leads a pilot to push the nose down, which leads to wheelbarrowing. Many twinkies have had a smaller nose tire installed to reduced the wings AOA on the takeoff roll. This looks like what happened here - pilot using...

    Flying to Udvar-Hazy museum Dulles

    I went a couple months ago... after looking at going into HEF and either renting a car or getting an Uber, I just went into IAD. ATC was easy to work with, Signature gave us a ride to museum and back. Total cost was right at $90... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
