It has been a long time since I retired but if I recall, simultaneous operations on intersecting runways can only be done when there is a control tower in operation and an FSS is not a control tower.

Re: Savin' the Prop

The same situation occurred while demonstrating a Rockwell 112TCA. Tower confirmed nose wheel only partially down, rescue equipment called out.

Re: Stalls into a headwind or Tailwind

Get another instructor! The airplane does not know or care which way the win is blowing when doing stalls. It all depends on your entry technique.

Re: Red Deer Student Lost

With all these Engliss Proficiet slo students in our airspace, we can expect another YHU before too long. I'm surprised that the Fraser Valley dogfight hasn't produced more casualties.

Have you ever seen a T-33? It still looks like a Mustang, minus the bulky Merlin engine with the cooling system.
