Mine has two pictures on it -- Wilber and Orville.

'Never spun a Cirrus. I hope it recovers well.

The 310R I fly cannot maintain anything greater than 5 degrees of ascent on takeoff without going below blue line. After about 15 seconds, the airplane is cleaned up and I'm moving about 20 knots over blue line at about 7 degrees. If I were to lose one on takeoff, the first thing I'd do is lower...

Odyssey has been good to me.

Business has me in SLC in the next couple of weeks and I'll have a fair bit of free time. My body probably won't handle more than one day of skiing so a bit of flying fun seems in order. Are any readers aware of Decathlon or Citabria rentals in the area?

Thanks Nathan. There are a lot of options to consider but you are right, nothing is really close enough to walk. Oh well; flying is expensive, right?

Thanks Nathan, The tiedowns are likely at Atlantic as that's where a lot of the Miegs folks ended up. My office will be at the south end of the loop (LaSalle and Jackson) so its convenient to reach by Metra if all else fails. I used to fly into DuPage with some frequency but the transportation...

'Any Chicagoland pilots know of what is available at MDW on a long term basis that would house a C340? I'm likely to become a weekly commuter early next spring and Midway would be the most convenient home for me. Thanks!

I've flown 14 or 15 approaches in IMC in the 13 months I've had my IR and I have about 29 hours of actual time (10 hours w/instructor on board). Last week I had my first real missed approach in IMC and followed it up with another missed to the opposite runway. My first climb out had me a bit...

Re: AF1 phot op- fail! I've never asked permission to enter class bravo airspace. I have, however, requested a clearance to enter class bravo when flying VFR. My CFI/DE made a point to clarify the distinction the first time we needed to fly through class bravo airspace. As he said, we request...

When I was in instrument training working on ILS approaches, my CFII taught me to tune the ADF to the marker (when available) and to align the ADF dial with my current heading. This gives additional situational awareness prior to approach clearence. Its still on my pre-approach checklist.

Inasmuch as LACKR is only 1.3 miles beyond AUBRN it is reasonable to assume that the needle would be alive over AUBRN thereby negating the 250 heading direction post AUBRN on the STAR. The approach clearance was incomplete however. There is no way to infer the distance to LACKR without an...

I've had a door pop open before. Its loud and, in the winter, cold. But if one is going to fly fast, high performance airplanes in the clouds there is a need for proficiency in executing emergency procedures.

Yep. Its a PDX Super Stinson conversion. I'm thinking about doing one myself. Super Stinson Modifications, LLC has acquired the original STC and sells the components needed to make the changeover.

'Good idea! I'm working on the ASEL and AMEL commercials simultaneously this winter and doing the ASES in Minnesota (friend has a 108-2 w/O470 conversion on floats at 8Y4) once the ice is out. Thanks for the suggestion.
