    Where have you lived?

    Rapid City, SD Salt Lake City, Ut Waverly, TN Beaumont, TX Claymont, DE Hurricane, WV Flatwoods, KY Buffalo, NY West Chester, PA I've always thought pilots who do a lot of cross countries have lived more places than the average person - they have people to visit with free housing!

    Pilot intuition or paranoid passenger

    I elected not to get on a commuter flight from CVG to HTS (Cincinatti to Huntington, WV) once when the weather picture in the airport lounge showed massive thunderstorms and a tornado watch enroute. I flew the next morning in sunny skies. Turns out the plane boarded... went to the end of the...

    Scuba Diving

    I was certified in 1973 - YMCA believe it or not! My first job as a teenager was doing scuba shows in a large tank of loggerhead turtles for touists. I still skin dive once in a while, but after diving reefs, it is hard to get excited about fresh water diving enough to keep current.

    Constant Speed Prop

    The following is what I usually do with my Comanche - 260 HP. For a normal flight, I don't touch the prop much... full in on take off, 2500 for climb, 2400 for cruise and pattern work until short final, then full. Normal flight, I move it it 3 times. Manifold pressure changes are a lot however...

    Help w Lesson plan

    I used to be based at Ona Airpark in West Virginia and the approach was a dive for the field. This VOR approach - the final descent is 1600 feet in 4 miles - was designed to avoid a hill east of the field. The fix to descend (Gomez) is published as a cross radial with another VOR, but locals...

    South Dakota folk...

    except on hot summer days, I never had much trouble with my 172 around the Black Hills... what is a little unique though, is the elevation drops pretty dramatically west to east in just a few miles - so often the turbulance is pretty bad if the winds are picking up. I'm back there a few times a...
