The private PA28-161 C-GVDH was taking off from CNR4 Tobermory, destined for CYKF Kitchener/Waterloo, with the pilot and three passengers on board. The weather was reported as very hot with gusty winds. After initial lift off the pilot levelled the aircraft to gain sufficient speed to climb out, but...

Going to Giant Tiger on-line shopping to get some for myself. They had better be a s bright as everyone is saying they are.

Or, alternatively, one tank was completely dry and the selector valve was set to both so late in the landing procedure that the empty tank didn’t have time to refil from the partially full tank. For sure, with only 5 gallons in the “full” tank, it won’t cross feed very fast. Exactly. So you can fol...

It's a bit like heading a discussion of the sinking of the Titanic with "don't sail to New York in winter." A meaningless statement. The thread has had some good discussion about the title of the topic.....the critical importance of being in coordinated flight when fuel quantities are extremely low...

Actually, I find the title quite appropriate. It brings up a good discussion about the potential consequences of uncoordinated flight at lower levels of fuel quantities in fuel tanks even if there was more to the story in this particular incident.

PC-12 as well apparently. Don't push forward when you bounce.....

One has to wonder if 5.7 g is accurate. That is a lot. Would there not be injuries? Maybe not. There was video of a dash-8 in Europe recently where it's right gear collapsed after landing. With all the gear collapses over the years on the -400, one might think that 5.7g would collapse the gear as we...

Collapsed both main gear. I heard they then tried to taxi in(according to...

What do you do? Try the zero zero, (if that's the scenario) as one poster I know would advocate? Or try for the only other alternate? There were two times during my flying career when I had to make the decision to land zero/zero. The first was due to the weather going zero zero and no sign of it ha...

At least when the fuel quantity is very low. Otherwise the fuel may not make it to the engine....

Gotta admit.....I have a lot more whiteout in my logbook than I care to admit to. At least it is accurate.

Yes, I use a checklist but I also operate in the real world. That is why I feel that the leaning advice is valid. Why? Because things happen in the real world, like an interrupted checklist that doesn't get completed or something else happens that I guarantee you has happened to those on this thread...

Last winter, I had a C172S booked at a flying club. It was about -20C outside and I discovered upon my arrival that it had been taken out of the hangar at least three hours before my flight and had been sitting on the ramp with no engine cover. The oil seemed fairly thick, so I figured that it might...

Just reading an article about leaning the engine during ground ops and the pilot suggests leaning as much as is reasonably possible. His reason is that eventually, there will be a time that you will forget to go to the proper mixture setting for takeoff. When this eventually happens, instead of ther...

OK, I know that you have been waiting patiently to hear my WOW experience so here it is. The online ticket purchase was fairly straight-forward. There were several fare options and I took the middle one(Comfy Fare) that includes 1 carry-on and 1 suitcase for about 50 extra dollars(the site said that...
