Aren't the endorphins there for a reason, evolutionarily speaking; perhaps increasing and benefiting performance rather than hurting it? You make an assumption that endorphins are equal to impairment of other external mind altering drugs. Is the current I'M SAFE human factor education and...

PPL in 2001 - almost exactly a year from start to checkride, ~6K inclusive of gear.

Not true - iTunes match vs. google music (one of the things I use the most). I like Google's offerings far better than the iCloud stuff. I think the crying from Jobs about smart phones is nothing but too big an ego. I don't see the history on this, as written by Apple, to be true. I do agree...

It is amazing in the longer history how seemingly unmovable players become just a memory of their former selves. I tend to agree. They lost me at iCloud. I have no need to increase my monthly bills when I can already get all that quality integration and access for free now. There is...

I like the AO too - very high quality and it doesn't sting to bad when I lose them.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/160674274077?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3538wt_1362

Could those familiar compare the size / comfort vs. the Mooney M20 series?

And everyone is sure they are the 20%

My input - I use that stuff all the time. I calculate TOC and waypoints and follow the timings closely on my paper nav log. You could gain some great clues about performance and potential problems will show up if there are discrepancies as you follow your plan. You are not a responsible or...

If you really want it, you will stick with it and make it happen in a way you are satisfied with. Your experience is a good example of how many high-level activities are in life. If you go on to any high profession or business ownership, expect just as much trial and misery, but, you can...

Cloudy judgement?? THAT is the point and problem. No, good pilot judgement is not cloudy; it is drilled, thought about consciously in advance, and adhered to unrelentingly. Fix that part.

These? http://www.barnstormers.com/classified_597565_CUB,+CUB,+STEARMAN!.html

They sure seem to have adopted a postion on their impressions of the statistics whether you agree with the stats or not. This is the problem. Argue them away or play their game to lower fatal rates?

What is scary is they can do anything they want as these planes operate with the freedom they do only under issued op limits that can be revoked / changed. 91.319 is pretty restrictive and without the expanded op limits the exp. plane are issued currently... yikes.

Who has the right of way and at what point is right of way determined when you are mixing a higher speed o/h approach with a slower student in the pattern? IE: a slow 152 45 degrees from the numbers ready for a base turn vs.a well over 100knot RV calling an overhead who could be there quickly...

Even if you are one of the good ones (pilots), you DO have a problem, the FAA says so and they will bring a solution. This should be of paramount concern to you. I, too, would hate to see e/ab drastically limited and the op. limits changed. But, they see an up to 7X worse fatality rate and...

Some mornings I wake up crabby, other mornings I let her sleep in.

The Dali Lama walks into the pizza place and asks, "can you make me one with everything?"

dilaudid - ER gave once for a kidney stone.... it was the best I have felt in years.

Some, maybe, but I just don't think that is true with any of the Vans airplanes. That market commands high resale prices and they have only gone up over the last 7 years or so I have been following them.

Pre-Takeoff: Controls, Intsruments, Gas, Attitude, Runup, Security Pre-Landing: Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Prop, Seatbelts Shutdown: Radios, Electrical, Mixture, Master, Mags (I like to remember "REMMM", as in rem sleep) Takeoff: Lights, Camera, Action Engine out: Glide, Locate field, Go...
