    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    Loving the vibes of that attorney roasting admin law. He makes a really sweet argument of all the ways FAA/NTSB kango court is effed up like a football bat. I think/hope he'll have more traction now that it's going to big boy, real appellate court. I have no love lost for flat billed STOLbros...

    Checkrides cost how much? Really?

    dang it, that would have been spicier on a white cat meme. #missedopportunity Ah eff it, I'll take the hit on joke stealing for this one. :biggrin:

    Any regrets moving up to better plane

    On the bolded, I've made it a point to never make that the case. My inflection on the hobby has always been centered around [getting away from] assumptions of price risk. On the flip side, it has been great opportunities for profit for my buyers, as they get well discounted samples from which to...

    LATAM 787 incident caused by FA?

    So the party trick shown by the Chilean folks (embedded in the blanco video) is fake? Stuck hat/rocker switches are not really a conspiracy theory.

    CAPS saves a family

    It's called risk compensation (well-accepted phenomena), forefather to risk homeostasis theory (highly contested theory, though I agree w/ most of with it).

    Boulder/Superior sue Rocky Mountain Metro Airport over "100LL"

    The complaint about supposed disenfranchisement has nothing to do with geographic aggregation; it's still just a boilerplate anti-democratic (little d, not big D) gripe. aka voting minorities don't like popular democracy, especially in a first-past-the-post system. Shocker. The poster a few...

    Hartzell Propeller acquires WhirlWind Propellers

    If price point relief is the point of going ELSA/EAB, then correct, this is further sunsetting of the hobby.

    RPM loss

    Component(s) within your electronic ignition system appears to be on the fritz. You questioned every portion of your power generation, except that one. Why is that? Don't answer that I'm being rhetorical. Carburetor ice doesn't drop RPM suddenly like that, to regain it in [relative to icing]...

    LATAM 787 incident caused by FA?

    Good Will Hunting reference? If so, excellent choice sir, love that movie.

    From pilot to A/P?

    I'm going EAB, I don't have the time to pursue that [AP] ticket, nor build an airplane, but I love I can wrench on it to my heart's content. I like the LSRM/LSRI training scheme, and would love to pursue it if it gave me inspection authority over my preferred forever airplane (current LSA...

    Bo may no longer be the POA answer.

    My apologies, meant the Beech piston side w/in Textron. I forgot they're a bigger hegemon than I remembered.

    Boulder/Superior sue Rocky Mountain Metro Airport over "100LL"

    yup, it's why we hate our tract-hell setup so much, but it's all we can afford at this juncture of our work lives/circumstances/economy. [rural] Low population density is the only measure of affluence I care for anymore. With 8 billion apes on this rock, that ship has sailed I'm afraid. *kicks...

    CAPS saves a family

    From out here in the has-been cheap seats, I could see mild hostility at cheerleading for the chute as fear of the second-tier effect of pedestrian support for the compulsory implementation of it. Which is (or at least I regard...) an economic non-starter for a good chunk of owners who are...

    Bo may no longer be the POA answer.

    Mostly symbolic. Those delivery numbers were largely ceremonial, just like the Arrow 'offering' right before the TAA killing it for good. Textron should have nixed their piston offerings a long time ago.

    Post oil change - High oil pressure

    Lyco IO-360-C1C, SAE 50 oil, at 41F? Oh that's normal on the stock gauges before oil gets to operating temp, at least ime. Then again my engine also broke a bunch of bolts inflight, had me PFLing all over kingdom come on a Sunday (instead of "watching" the kid like I told the sleeping frau) and...

    Joe_B1 Gone West

    My condolences to the family. If anything, to those of us who didn't know him personally, another reminder to keep carpe diem this thing, and keep flying or pursuing whatever it is that makes us tick, for not a day more is forever guaranteed. He will be missed around here. Tailwinds sir.

    Garmin G5 Yellow Heading & Warranty Saga (retitled)

    is all this extraneous labor to chase electromagnetic issues under warranty? This can't possibly be profitable for an installer.
