    How Do You Feel About Night XCs

    I do everything I can to avoid XC at night in piston single airplanes. I do fly XC at night in a piston twin, but only on an IFR flight plan. It's not just engine failure that I worry about. I've unexpectedly flown into clouds at night when it was supposed to be clear, picked up ice at...

    Short field landing technique...am I being taught wrong?

    It's amazing. A friend of mine with 4,000 hours in type was just saying, "I've gone 12 month landing this baby like a March snowflake, and now I can't put the ***** on the deck without breaking the squat switches. Did I land or were we shot down?" Comes and goes. It comes and goes.

    Altitude and oxygen levels

    I'd suggest this to allow you to judge for yourself how you perform at altitude: http://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/airman_education/aerospace_physiology/ It may be an eye opener. But there's little doubt that you'll perform better than most of us who live and train below 5,000'. As a side...

    Tales of Hangar Construction

    I've built several hangars, all on city owned land with a sq. ft. land lease. Questions I would want answered: * Is an engineering report required? * Is the dirt good or will dirt need to be replaced? * Are there escalation clauses in the lease language for rent? * Who pays the property...

    Hangar Doors....The Good, Bad, & Ugly

    I've had (and still have) several hangars with Wilson bi-fold doors. They've been adequate and have given very little trouble. No complaints. But our airport manager has recently built hangars with Schweiss hydraulic doors and I admit that I like them much better. Faster, quieter, more shade...
