I think there are definitely some perception issues occurring. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The first time I can clearly see the shadow is when it clears that propane tank. The plane is clearly rotating counterclockwise from this point until it hits the car. You can step through the vid frame by frame here: http://rowvid.com/?v=9CE7gHkpsgE

The ILS or LOC RWY 29R into KSCK has a lead radial of 112 off of the ECA VOR. Why is this? It's not a DME arc. I'm guessing it's to give you a heads up that you're going to intercept the localizer if you're inbound from the MOD VOR IAF, but the 29 degree intercept angle isn't overly aggressive...

I've lost comms 3 times in 3 different planes. Used cell and handheld to work things out. All in VMC , one at night. It happens! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat, and am studying the Airplane instructors handbook, airplane flying manual, AIM and phak. All downloadable from the FAA for free and guaranteed to put you to sleep. I make notes on the pdfs with a program called skim (mac only) and then put those notes into a flashcard...

I pulled up the most recent 15 midairs from the ASI database, and they all occurred in Day VMC conditions. The Mark I eyeball has some serious, known deficiencies. I don't understand the argument against additional SA in regards to traffic as provided by ADS-B, unless you have some sort of sick...

It's actually near Mather (KMHR). I was able to do a tour there, it was exactly what I expected. Cool to put faces to voices.

Shouldn't we change the title to "Pilots who don't understand the regulations"? The FAA often shows a lack of common sense, and I've experienced it firsthand, but this doesn't fall under that category. SVFR exists exactly for this reason.

I was trained to respond this way, so I do. I've had ATC respond 'position as reported' when picking up flight following, so I guess it's a 2 way street? It seems worth the effort to confirm they're looking at the right plane. I fly/train in a moderately busy airspace and I've been run right...

I always assumed it was for the light gun signal from the tower when comms fail

Episode 195 of the Omega Tau podcast has a great interview with one of the 747 shuttle...err shuttle pilots. http://omegataupodcast.net/englishOnly.php

Discount on block time. Discount for off hours (weekday eves). The owner of the plane that currently fly a couple of times a week gave me a checkmate checklist and Piper hat as a thank you. It was a thoughtful gesture.

Pilot has posted on a different aviation discussion group about the incident and his decision to talk to the media to try to control the tone of the reporting. He mentioned that the landing was rougher than he wished due to having to ditch under the power lines, leading to gear damage.

Correct, I was referring to your situation. Another point that you might not understand is that a company Facebook page is advertising. We're not talking about an individual page filled with duckface selfies. I think it's pretty clear that advertising is commercial photography.
