Forced Approaches

To put it bluntly, most light plane pilots suck at forced approaches. It's one of those stick-and-rudder exercises that simply needs to be practiced more, to be any good at. If you've only held a guitar in your hands a couple times before, would you expect to be able to play a song on it? Of course ...

Re: Landing long while another aircraft is on the runway

Re: Stay Away From Hospitals

Any hospital is a hotbed for all sorts of disease and infections Yes, and far more so than other public places, because of the percentage of sick and contagious people there.

Re: Too Much Crosswind For A Fully-Loaded 172!

Slips shouldn't be necessary It's a good thing that Bob Pearson side-slipped a B767-200 on July 23, 1983, to land at Gimli, MB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider#Landing_at_Gimli Pearson decided to execute a forward slip to increase drag and lose altitude.

Too Much Crosswind For A Fully-Loaded 172!

Couple days ago, going around the pattern. Windsock across the runway. It had been straight out earlier, but as the evening went on the wind decreased and the windsock might have been at 45 degrees. Perhaps 5 or 6 knots of crosswind? Into the pattern comes a 172. Flies long, long legs. Overshoots on...

Stay Away From Hospitals

It appears that you should stay away from hospitals, if you want to stay healthy: http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20110713/c-difficile-outbreak-ontario-hospitals-110713/20110713/?hub=TorontoNewHome The outbreak began at a hospital in St. Catharines on May 28 and spread from there.

Re: Mid-Air collision at Duxford

These guys were trying to break out of a vic formation. The Blue Angels do a nice break out of a diamond, but these guys were clearly nowhere near that skill level. It's actually not very hard to do, but ... Conventionally, with left traffic, the formation is arranged in a right echelon. Lead turns ...

Re: Mid-Air collision at Duxford

At Duxford, I can assure you the pilots that fly there have more then (sic) enough expierence (sic) Evidence would suggest, not quite enough in formation flying. That was an awful break, and they quite didn't get away with it, that time. I know some other people who had a bad experience with a pilo...

Simple-minded egalitarianism is so childish - and so widespread. The incredible rationalization about people with money is mind-boggling. Either 1) they inherited it, and are thus evil, or 2) if they didn't inherit it, they must have stole it, so they are evil. :roll: Maybe, just maybe, when someone...
