Aloc is also a medical term used whenever someone has an altered mental status for whatever reason. I spent 10+ years riding ambulances and fire trucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The best guess is that he had some level of altered level of consciousness (ALOC) just before the crash. The doc who was at the lodge same time and also was at the crash site seems to think so. Whether it was related to previous medical history, some other medical problem, or simply zoning out...

So the Ted Stevens crash that killed him was likely a medical event that affected the pilot. If you read the NTSB report, (pretty lengthy) the official answer is we don’t know, but likely was some sort of medical event. Pilot, singular, was one of Alaska air’s most experienced captain since...

Maybe I should own something like a Transit with my tools, but no, this is a personal vehicle not a work truck. Yet I do a lot of work with it. Both personal and for my employer. I could probably get a SUV to do most of what I want and need, I just like trucks though. I need more seats though...

I could very well be misremembering, its been awhile, and my uncle also hauled a lot of stuff too, so that may affect what he told me.

That's the feeling I was getting about Chevys.

I'm pretty sure that's what my uncle said his truck got. My aunt has offered it to me, not for free, but would still be a deal, but there's still ongoing costs.

The comments of avoid "these years" are helpful. What about the Dakotas? Are they junk? I grew up driving a 78/79? silverado, so I'm partial to Chevy's, but I also know some years have more problems than others. I do recognize that F150 is no slouch either. I had thought about some of the...

Maybe I do need to get a suv of some type and see what it would cost to keep the ranger. In my mind, decent ish gas mileage was 18 to 20 mpg. That's what I had been getting on the ranger until recently, (chasing a power issue, fuel injector, filter etc.) Still need more seat space. I've...

Not trying to start another high wing vs low wing discussion, but I am looking for another pickup soonish and am looking for some info. Things I want/think I need are: -Extended cab/4 door with real seats in the back. -I think I want at least a 6ft bed. -Needs to have some giddy up, but also...

Granted, we were working on the Slope, but....

What's the tail number? Send me a PM if you want I can drive by it most likely and give a quick impression.

I find it hard to believe that there are some that can't get ANY A&P job. You might not start out making 30/hr but there are jobs to be had. I found one in 2008 in the depressed economy straight out of school. I was also told in school that there were plenty of companies that wanted guys with...

I flew between KY NC ME and back to KY last week and a half. I actually heard more of "XXXX if you can hear contact XX center/approach on freq XXX.XX" than anything else in those 20 hrs. I was surprised how many of those occurred. Some of them long enough/repeated that you'd think the plane...

Ok. Thanks. Found it in Rev 7. I just basically skimmed over the drawings to this point. Just trying to get a grasp on the overall.

I'm looking at the manuals and such for an install on a 182 and can't find that in the instructions or limitations. Did you have an exact reference for it? Or is it just a function of the wiring limitations? Right now the install could be anywhere from a simple replace the AI standalone, to a...

Dog I had growing up had multiple ways across. The above was her lazy way. She'd also bolt if she wanted. Would also do some super slow stalk that would confuse the thing somehow, get it to time out. Etc. I think it was a game for her. When they weren't in the invisible fence area, we kept them...

Bar harbor tomorrow for a day trip. Would have done stonington but could not figure out transportation. We were going to camp at the airport there. Rockland we could rent a car. No regrets. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So we're hanging out in Rockland starting tomorrow, for a week or so. Maybe some day trips. We will see. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A guy I knew in AK had elevator cable turnbuckles loosen gradually as he was flying his C185. They weren't safetied. Elevator control gradually got sloppy. He figured out what was going on, flew the rest of the way to Anchorage via trim, and gentle maneuvers and had it fixed. At least with the...
