    FedEx 705 simulation- gave me the chills

    Ted, Not trying to get into the Spin Zone, just making a case for safety of both commercial and freight flights. IMO flight deck crew should have the right to defend themselves by any many means possible.

    FedEx 705 simulation- gave me the chills

    Clark, I don't play "show and tell". Most have no need to know whether I am carrying or not. My deputy friends know and that is all that counts. The Sheeple can just go on their merry way thinking they will be protected. Then they encounter a situation are not prepared to meet and beg for help.

    FedEx 705 simulation- gave me the chills

    But does that mean their employer has to allow them to be armed? It all goes back to "I would rather be judeged by twelve than carried by six".

    Makes a good case for guns on the flight deck.

    KMSN to KSRQ for 150 hour pilot

    I know a woman who lives in eastern New York who flew her 172 to McMinnville, Oregon to attend a get together. She was not IFR rated at the time and played the weather well. The trip took a few days and when the weather was not conducive to VFR she parked and waited it out. If you have the time...

    210 or 337?

    Want to see cold water? Lake Superior is said to never give up her dead. Just ask the mariners who sail the Great Lakes before ice stops them. I would not want to overfly that pond in winter. I have full admiration for both USCG and Canadian Coast guard people who do their best in winter...

    210 or 337?

    From the perspective of one who has crossed Lake Michigan and Lake Erie many times in a Cessna R182 without event I would suggest your wife take the train (Amtrak). As long as the engine has no issues there is nothing to be feared about sixty miles of water. Sure, chit can happen at the most...

    Weird FAA Airman inquiry response

    Supposedly, when you ask to have your SSN removed from your certificate a random number is generated to replace your SSN. I asked to have that done about fifteen years or so ago and got a seven string of digits for a replacement. The only downside is that prior to that my SSN is still out there...

    What's a 421 good for?

    From the perspective of one who has (illegally) flown one and performed maintenance on many there is nothing wrong with the 421. I worked for a charter company the had about five on the roster. Good solid plane and if the engines were properly treated they would make TBO with minimal...

    Password manager question

    Liz, I do business with a local shop when I can't handle a problem. They know I am both a backup freak an very security conscious. The owner of the shop said I had all my ducks in a row.

    Password manager question

    My passwords are saved in an Excel file to an internal storage hard drive in my computer. That drive is password protected and the password to the drive is heavily encrypted. I have never had a problem with anyone stealing one of my passwords. I wouldn't want to put my passwords in the cloud.
