How is that pronounced? Pile Up?

I pronounce it puh-y'all-up but next time I go in there, I'm doing it your way in light of the high gravity situation.
UNICOM peeps call it "Pierce county traffic", presumably to avoid sounding dumb.

Glad they made it. Why does an engine abruptly lose power?

Based on a study I did of accidents involving certain Cherokee models, about 11% involve the engine itself (undetermined loss of power, mechanical issues, or carb ice), while about 13% involve fuel management (either exhaustion or starvation).
Here's a breakdown of mechanical failures:
The study included PA-28-140, -161, -180, and -181 accidents from 2001 to 2010.

I would like to see that same study based on the ratio of the amount of 140's, 161's etc produced.

Well that certainly would prevent you from being mistaken for a local!

I thought fuel would be a higher % of the problems, guess not.
