Re: Serialized STC prop approvals

Ok, so follow up questions.

How big is the difference between several propellers that are the same length and pitch?
If you test a constant speed propeller is there a range of sound volumes?

Re: Serialized STC prop approvals

Does Transport require a noise test for every propeller or is it per type? If it could be done once for a particular three blade propeller that would be replicated, it seems like a propeller manufacturer might have more to gain getting their products tested so we could just buy them certified. Thus ...

Re: Residential School Airplane

I’m not intentionally trying to troll. It just seems like if they could build roads to all the remote places, they would have. A road might be somewhat beneficial but are people there going to have a reliable enough vehicle to use it? Also I suspect it might actually be less expensive to use planes ...

Re: Residential School Airplane

Is an all weather road even possible? I have seen roads in southern Alberta that became impassible due to heavy rain. Becoming stranded on one of those would be a bad enough experience and you would most likely survive at least. I’m relieved others mentioned residential schools being a pretty seriou...

Re: Average flight time

But Hobbs time is not flight time unless you let-the a/c start moving at start, and the engine stops as the a/c stops on arrival. Calling it flight time when it is not is a very clear case of non compliance with CARS if the time is being logged and credited for a license or rating. I think the thou...

Re: US Airspace question

Why would you just be touring at 10,500 over Chicago? I would probably be using flight following down there. It seems kind of normal, then you get traffic advisories.

What’s up with ADS-B, doesn’t nearly every plane need it in the US now?

Lend I guess, English is #4 on my list but we are slowly getting along :D
No worries. I have heard many people who only speak English say, “Can you borrow me $5?”

How did the test go?

I have held Catagory 1 medicals. Much like you mention, flying is one of those things I can actually concentrate on. As you...
