Could that be because that was the way you were taught?

I can't really remember to be honest. I think I was taught both methods, but I just find the wing down method easier and more natural. I crab to about 50ft and then transition to wing down.

I do not agree. As long as the airplane is tracking straight down the centre line and is longitudinally lined up with the centre line as the wheels touch the runway inertia will keep it stable. Of course if a pilot does not have the airplane handling skills to do that kind of landing they could los...

I don't think the ailerons should be centred if there is a strong crosswind. I think this is a better description:

WHERE did I say I used GS as a reference for BS approaches? Or that I claimed they are stable? I will eat those foolish statements If I had written them ! I call bullshit on YOU ! Back side of the power curve approaches should be pretty stable, unlike flying straight and level in slow flight. https...

Does kind of look like you got caught out. Most people know the name of the aircraft they are flying and don't mix it up with others, even if they sound similar. The Bearcat does have a Rotax. Are you trolling. I think you made the same mistake again (Bearcat vs Bearhawk). I'd love to see this Bear...

I’d say about 20% of the physicians I know are white, if that. Maybe it’s a different story in the US? I think the issue is that there is just a lot more racism in the US. Things are really fucked up down there, and it seems to be getting worse. You do hear some stories of racism in Canada, but it ...

Essentially, right now, since test can detect THC up to a month after usage, there is a 28-30 day ban. If testing can reduce that window to 14 or 7 days, the policy will auto adjust.

Tests will show THC in your system up to 77 days after last consumption, if you are a heavy user.

Small airports, especially in AB, are almost always fine unless they're listed as PPR. You may just need to pay a fee for staying overnight, although most don't have any fees.

I flew both VFR/IFR and Foreflight was really nice. Yes expensive, but saving time, saving money (map, Cfs, cap gen, AP...), and the approach plates on the map are really good.
Cheers

FltPlan Go has had all of those for quite a few years now, and they're completely free.

Pot stocks. Crushed today. LOL! That's just profit taking...they are still great businesses, it's just that the smart money got in there long ago and is getting out now. I guess I should have bought it when I saw their Gulfstream parked next to me on the ramp a few years ago, next to Costco's Gulfs...

OK then how long does it take to rid your system after inhaling second hand smoke? Should I use 15 sick days after I went to a house party and someone was legally smoking weed because cannaboids could have attached to the stem of my brain and are waiting to reactivate at a moments notice? This is n...

Aireon is introducing a free service which will provide the last known co-ords of any aircraft that is missing:

https://aireon.com/services/aireonalert/

Their FAQ says it will work with any 1090ES transponder of 120W or more. It doesn't say whether or not it requires an antenna on top.

IFR aircraft are already provided positive conflict resolution in Class C, and as you've said, they'll get vectored all over to avoid the VFR (and other IFR) traffic. The slower VFR or IFR traffic will generally be vectored out of the way of the faster IFR traffic. At least that has been my experie...

A VFR aircraft getting vectors to avoid traffic would be a last resort if they start to think a collision is imminent. I've never been given vectors for traffic in Terminal class C between the lower mainland and the island. Never within Tower class C either for that matter. No, it's not a last reso...

In controlled airspace, they're already managing us (sort of, VFR don't get positive separation) and yet conflicts are few. In uncontrolled space they aren't talking to us and don't want to, yet that's where we'd benefit most from it. Not sure where you fly, but around Vic/Van conflicts are a regul...

Sending the data down another path so we can all see it is a bonus that does nothing for them. Hence, expect to be charged for that service as it's value add is to you.

It's valuable to them because if we can see other traffic there would be less conflicts and less for ATC to do.

Any idea where I can get a pair of prescription Serengetis?

I think the problem is that you've confused the 152's engine for something that is fuel injected! You don't start a carburreted lycoming with mixture at ICO, except perhaps in the case of a flooded engine as pointed out above.

I was going to do an IPC on the Redbird, but gave up when I was told that the GPS isn't actually approved for RNAV approaches. Have they managed to fix that yet?

"Hi. I'm an FO at an airline -- so I'm an awesome pilot -- but really need some cheap PIC time. Can I get some cheap block on your brand new $700K SR 22"? Let me know how that works out. Block time isn't exactly offered on street corners, for a reason. I don't think anyone mentioned block time on a...

What insects are you specifically trying to control? If it's just flies, I think a UV fly trap is probably the best option.

Dumb question.

Is that a good idea? Also, I wouldn't go for anything less than $1M public liability.

Looking at a recent renewal, the price for $1M third party liability and $100k per passenger is only $221/yr for a C150. I really can't believe it's so cheap.

That sounds similar to the US system.
