    High Altitude Landing and Takeoff

    Then modern turbo normalized systems (TAT, Western Skyways) include intercoolers for no good reason at all? Agreed. This is the primary but not the only benefit. Lower CHTs, lower peak cylinder pressures and lower EGTs are realized way before the waste gate is fully closed.

    High Altitude Landing and Takeoff

    And this is related to your original statement about DA inside turbo'd intake manifold how? Effective or not, intercooler changes DA inside intake manifold. Otherwise, what is it needed for?

    High Altitude Landing and Takeoff

    And this is a problem with this thread in a nutshell. Do you know how these numbers apply to the airplane OP was flying? I don't. Is it possible to give a meaningful advise on mixture management without knowing the specifics of the particular engine besides "turbo + when in doubt = full...

    High Altitude Landing and Takeoff

    IMHO, asking questions about engine management on an Internet forum is a very bad idea unless the whole purpose is pure entertainment. Lots of bad advise in this thread already.

    High Altitude Landing and Takeoff

    Not always. The engine might have an intercooler. Then this logic does not apply.

    Can we put the myth that singles are as safe as twins to bed now?

    I learned to drive in a car much worse than Gremlin. I still cherish the memories though. There must be more story to it.

    Can we put the myth that singles are as safe as twins to bed now?

    That does not make any sense. Are you claiming that different types have different advertised price / price sold for ratio? The market does not work like this. There was one P337 for sale at my home field last year. Sold in two weeks. Got the full asking price even with high time engines...

    Flying West out of Denver in a single

    KGWS has been picked as the most challenging airport in the US by AOPA in 2013. For a good reason. Besides, they do not have much parking space. KRIL (Rifle) is easy.

    Can we put the myth that singles are as safe as twins to bed now?

    Jeff, I think it is a bit uncommon for the pilot to hate the plane he got his wings in with such passion. Could you please tell us the whole story?

    Really? Priced C337 vs. BE95 on Controller lately?

    Can we put the myth that singles are as safe as twins to bed now?

    Here we go again. The thing in your avatar is slower, has way less cabin space, of questionable reliability, and not much quieter. But no matter. Let's kick C337, the twin that can actually fly on one.

    Challenger Crash in Aspen

    Then you should probably remember how tight the terrain is next to RWY 33 right base and the fact that after landing on 33 you are rolling downhill. Even the runway itself is pretty telling. There are no tire marks in the touchdown zone on 33. Compare that with 15 which is solid black with...

    Henning, have you ever landed at KASE?

    Husky Down at KLAM

    No worries, Wayne. Even NTSB is not yet sure what the pilot was doing. Something about this accident does not add up. We may never know what really happened, but crashing into Los Alamos National Lab restricted airspace takes some effort. Disregarding airport procedures, ignoring R-5101, what...

    You can't make this stuff up!

    No such word as Tsarina. "Tzaritsa". The dress was bad anyway.

    the Dr. Killer and his TWO fatal crashes...

    He did. He killed two different women. Both were his wives at the time of the accidents.

    Husky Down at KLAM

    KLAM takeoffs RWY 27 are prohibited. It's in the A/FD and on the AWOS recording.

    Mountain flying course

    That pretty much sums it up. Come to Colorado. Many schools around here offer excellent mountain flying courses. Prices are quite reasonable too. You won't regret it.

    Mountain flying course

    Yes, for me it is. My home base airport is at 5,600 MSL. This is my sea level. Everything below is underwater :) Seriously, I was addressing your comment that "if you took a Mt flying course in Idaho you would be good to go in Colorado". I beg to differ and I have explained why. Higher...

    Mountain flying course

    Such generalizations could prove harmful for flatlanders not exposed to mountain flying. There may be a confusion between mountain flying and backcountry flying. Colorado has plenty of airports located at 7,000-8,000 feet elevation, 2 airports are above 9,000 feet MSL. Density altitudes at...
