View Full Version : Engine failure in the middle of nowhere

Suppose you suffer an engine failure while flying out in the middle of
nowhere. You locate a tiny airstrip and land there safely, but the airstrip
has no fuel or repair and maintenance facilities. How do you get the engine
repaired so that you can fly it back out?

It's happened to me. Look in the archives and you got your answer.

If you aren't certified to do it yourself,
you call someone else.

An A&P takes a look, and either repairs it on the spot, or has it
trucked out.

I would expect that that would somewhat depend on the nature of the
defect....

I tear it down and rebuild it, Stupid ****ing
Troll.

Hey, Mxsmanic, when you were a little
boy, did your granny explain why everyone
called you "Blossom"? You know, because
you were, and STILL ARE a blooming idiot.

Ok, go ahead, get busy. Spend another 1000
hours of your valueless unemployed time and
continue devoting your life to forging posts in
the name of .
Yeah, spread it as far as you want, like you've
been doing.

At the end of the day, I'll still be flying and
you won't. See, the internet isn't my life like
it is yours.

I could care less about my IP address showing.

So, what's your point, anyway? Why don't you go ahead and communicate
plainly so others can look at my IP and see that you are making more
childish banter?

I've been here for years as anyone can see with a simple search of my
RAP history, communicating mostly about aviation. Mostly lurking, but
posting fairly regularly, though not very often. Go ahead and look
yourself, then come back and tell me more about my IP address.

Yes, just like I did above.
It makes it simpler to know exactly what I'm replying to.
Actually, it's not called "cutting and pasting" in the Usenet world,
it's called "citing relevant information." Some title it other things,
but what I do, and often, is reply to specific portions of a post, in
effect, "cutting and pasting." So, the answer is "yes I do often cut &
paste
other people's posts. In the 20 plus years I've been on Usenet it is
a very common practice.
Now, go ahead and explain your specific problem with that.
By the way, your spelling is indicative of a child, which you probably
are.
Oh, and you can visit my Usenet profile and my Facebook page
if you're still having identity issues with me.

Small nit: if the original document remains unchanged, then the phrase
"copy and paste" should be used, not "cut and paste." One example of "cut
and paste" is when one composes ransom notes by cutting out words and
letters from printed material.

Usenet groups are often held hostage, but I've yet to see a groupnapper
demand that millions of small unmarked bits be left in a desktop trashcan
icon in return for releasing a group.

Don't tell me you can't recognize a golden business opportunity when you see
one! No repair facility there? When you've just clearly demonstrated the
need? Create one!! What are you waiting for? All the following aircraft who
suffer similar difficulties will now have to come to YOU!! Be your own boss!!
Stop taking orders from some nincompoop!!

That would be affirmative, under only 3 different I.D's, all due to
newsreader requirements. I'd share them with you but I have nothing to
prove to you and nothing else to say to you, either.
