Re: Was it Carb Ice?

I once watched a c152 lose power on climb out. Student was panicking looking for help from the tower. He was about to go down in a very populated neighbourhood. Someone called on the radio and said pull the carb heat and away he climbed.

Re: Old fuel in airplane tanks

And come spring the fuel supply you are refreshing from might be older than the fuel in your tanks. Some of the larger fuel suppliers have a refresh program for their fuel. But it doesn’t hurt to ask how old their fuel is. Especially in these times of less flying.

Re: Plane takes off with concrete tie down attached in Kelowna.

So did anyone know this was doable?
Like during aircraft certification? Test flights?
I assumed this would be an automatic fail?
