Separate names with a comma.
Simulated IMC is a lousy substitute for actual IMC, but it’s all we have for instrument training, at least much of the time. It is so very...
We've had a 430W (#1 GPS/radio) and a 430 (#2 GPS/radio) in a Cirrus I fly. I confirm they cannot crossfill. - Martin
I recorded this conversation with Dr. Brent Blue last summer during the Antique Airplane Association fly-in in Blakesburg, IA. He is credited for...
Agreed. I make my students play a song (OK, a very monotone song) with the stall warning horn, using small elevator movements. The idea is that it...
Interesting role reversal... - Martin
It depends. At altitude and in the right airplane, I enjoy spins. Down low, or in a Cirrus... I wouldn't dare to try. - Martin
David, I suggest you train with a CFI who specializes in engine management, and ideally someone who owns (or has owned) an aircraft and engine...
Yes. Thus my disclaimer that "the difference is so small that it's completely negligible for stall speed." - Martin
I think we are on the same page, @dmspilot My point is that thanks to this diagram, too many pilots are under the impression that bank angle is...
I wish that diagram that shows load factor and stall speed as a function of bank angle had never been created. It is valid only under specific...
Was the thread you started in Flight Following not good enough for this topic?
One consideration for a flight like this, this time of year: There are many places in the country where I (piston single pilot) can reasonably...
Looks like that's about how long it'll take before we get any decent flying weather. :( - Martin
Since JUGMO is marked as both IAF and IF on the approach plate, you can request a straight-in approach and treat JUGMO as an intermediate fix and...
I very much disagree. Both companies make good EFIS units, and it's important to understand the differences when choosing between them. Nothing...
Actually, I think a bigger issue than sharing space on the ground is the fact that Amazon's departures and arrivals have to be worked into/around...
I agree with that. When staying more than a couple of days, it's a good idea to go off the field into town for a few of the meals. - Martin
Is that the airport restaurant that was destroyed by a fire a while ago, or am I confusing things? - Martin
Regarding food: SNF has a lot more diversity here than Oshkosh. In Lakeland they'll bring in a ton of different food trucks offering a lot of...
I'll be there all week. It's a nice excuse to go somewhere warm and nice after months of cold weather at home. SNF is much smaller than Oshkosh...
