Re: Midair at DCA

Is this a common procedure in the area? I don't know the area but I assume this is a procedure where traffic is kept over the river? Seems like allowing VFR traffic to cut across the approach at 350 ft, a mile out could only end badly.

Re: Interesting Single Otter Accident

Very strange. An FCU failure usually leaves the engine at low power. I have had to use Emergency power a couple times. Not sure why that would not work in this case?

Re: I had partial engine failure and I need advice regarding paperwork

Couple things.
-Did the AME enter a rectification in the logbook?
-it was almost certainly pilot error.
-you should pursue a new career path.

Re: DHC-3T Lost in WA Puget Sound

So. The way this part works. Is it safe to assume the ring was in but came off at some point shortly before the accident? Would it have then spun off with a few turns of the wheel?

Re: Missing plane Wawa

After 3 decades of float flying I don't fly outside gliding distance from a road, in my wheelplane anymore. It makes me feel claustrophobic, even on a sunny day. Takes me a little longer to get around, but if your in a VFR single engine plane are you really in that big hurry? The stretch from Sault ...

Re: DHC-2 Weight & ,Balance

You are gonna need the W&B addendums from the specific Beaver to determine your starting index on the SeeGee. Or are you simply looking for a generic Aircraft Manual W&B section?
These planes have modified so much that the manual does not do much good, in most cases.
