A good landing is one that you walk away from. A perfect landing is one that you can use the plane again!

My wife is a control person. She went to AOPA Pitch Hitter Course years ago. It was amassing. She is not a pilot but they teach how to land and details about what to do in an emergency. It made at the difference. AOPA stopped the program and the 99s picked it up. I do not know if they...

It would be interesting to see the comparison with 94UL.

I have a similar hangar. I have a garage door and a people door at the rear. I works well when I park a trailer or other vehicle in the hangar. I can drive straight through with out backing up. Also I can pull in and park a car in the hangar without moving a plane. This works well in...

My insurance agent called me about a week ago with a new insurance quote for this year. It went up 50% to 120% depending on the insurance company. And he said insurance on high performance complex planes will continue to rise more rapidly. I asked about turbine owner operated planes and he...

For those who remember the best weather forecast. It was more accurate 3 days out than local weather for the day. A.M. Weather[1] was an American weather news program that ran from October 30, 1978 to February 3, 1995. and was broadcast on PBS member stations throughout the United States. The...

I weatherman's only concern is his customer. The one that pays him. The advertiser of the show. If the weather forecast is accurate 3 days out, the viewer would not need to look at it again for 3 days. And the viewer would not see more advertisements.

I found auto gas was the best to remove the blue stain.

I was told by a friend in the aviation insurance industry. This is the first round of increases and he expects another round next year.

Do not feel bad. I had my 330 upgraded to ES. I had a 530W and 430W. Total bill was $3800 and I negotiated it to $2800 and they did not do anything else.

You might be lucky and not have ethanol in your auto gas. My gas mileage went up and I found the gas in this area doesn't have ethanol in it. Because the ethanol is more expensive than real gas. The added benefit is we do not have the pollutants of the ethanol distillation.

Avoid the SAITEK PRO SYSTEMs. I bought the system new and it did not have the power adapter. I was told by Intellect, it does not come with one and they do not carry parts for the systems. I found one on eBay. They do not have interest in a new customer, what happens when it breaks.

We had a Commander 114 for years and looked to replace it with a newer plane. My wife was not happy with the other planes. The biggest difference was sometimes she will sit in the back if there is another pilot. The other planes were not comfortable and no view forward. She does not like...
