The King Air has not come online yet

Hold on, hold on.

All the experts here told me that they can get
a new type put on an existing POC overnight,
and they can get a new POC in three days.

STICK OVER

... and do not approach too fast.

That is all,

Biff? .? Mitch?

I think that's why they limited later 172s to 30 degrees of flaps

No.

At the risk of being accused of being "arrogant" (which is even worse than being Politically Incorrect, I am told here) ... Please don't try to teach yourselves the turnback, people. Either get competent instruction (and stay proficient), or don't do it . If you can execute a surface level inside lo...

the cost for a small aircraft That depends on how it's done. The cheap way is to do a quickie scuff and shoot, which does not remove all the underlying paint. The expensive way is to strip all the old paint off, and start with bare aluminum. More disassembly will often be involved. If you're going ...

A year or so ago, a nice young man (pre-PPL) asked me to fly with him - his regular instructor was out of town. So, I showed up for the flight with my paperwork, which consisted to 2 blank sheets of 8.5x11 paper, which I proceeded to cover the entire left side of the dashboard, by pushing the paper ...

You're probably right. I've been thinking
about a nice later-model MiG-21.

Lots of speed limits. CAR 602.33 - "No person shall operate an aircraft at a true Mach number of 1 or greater." CAR 602.32 - "no person shall (a) operate an aircraft at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 knots if the aircraft is below 10,000 feet ASL; or (b) operate an aircraft at an indicated a...

If you're going to live with a radial engine, order a 55 gal drum of W120 (I am not a fan of the ubiquitous 25w60 multi-vis for radials) which you will measure oil for (and add) in units of gallons ... And also order a 55 gal drum of mineral spirits and some bales of rags so that you can remove the ...

I'm pretty sure that supersonic flight has been 'streng verboten' at air shows since the beginning If memory serves, sonic booms (resulting from supersonic flight) were common events in the USA in the 1950's (including at airshows). Some time after that, the FAA banned supersonic flight over the 48...

Better than Fruit Loops.

EDIT -- Fruit Loops "Flight Suit Patches" are apparently
on sale now. I am not making this up. It's supposed to
be sown on, next to this:

Yup - Ramadan is finally over!

Expect carbon deposits to accumulate faster
with mineral oil.

100 is mineral (break-in) oil.

W100 is (normal) ashless dispersant summer weight oil.

NB W100 is equivalent in viscosity to SAE 50W. The
location of W matters.

All a pilot really needs to know, is the alphabet.

You simply cannot compare military and civilian flight training. Night and day. To do so, is ludicrous. Civilian flying is all about egalitarianism - anyone who walks through the front door is entitled to a PPL - and feelings, and milking the student financially senseless through intentional ineffic...

Now you've hurt my feelings ...

Harrumph.

I use Rapco for discs and linings. FAA-PMA
approved. Reasonably priced. I keep a disc
and linings in stock, for the next tire change.

People try to make stuff 'way too complicated. There are three different kinds of airspace in Canada 1) airspace that you don't have to talk to anyone, to enter 2) airspace that you have to talk to someone to enter 3) airspace that you're not allowed in at any time (e.g. Class F CYR). This is really...

in order to credit yourself with hood time in VMC (which is the debate here) you must be undergoing training by a qualified person as per the CARs Nope. I think you are referring to CAR 425.21 If someone is just logging hood time to stay current (eg 6/6/6 on their instrument rating) and they have a...

So has the brothel in the hangar nearby.
