I remember going out to the C-172 for instrument training and thinking how glad I was that I wasn't in the sim today. The plane was like a breath of relief. Flying...

Have you ever done one? Have you ever looked at the area you were in while driving down the road and asked if you could land safely there? Ever tried to walk through a field of cotton, soybeans, tomatoes, alfalfa, or ???? Do you know if there are furrows or irrigation rows? How about trying to land...

Wellll.... Sh-- happens... :( After 15 months of faithful service from our AM 1000, it crapped... never heard a satellite again. The receiver apparently died completely.... Returned on a Tuesday to Lowrance, arrived Friday. They

Yet another question. Say you're at altitude and it's time to lean the constant speed engine(s). You pull back on the mixture control, the EGT starts to go up. The engine "sounds" more powerful as you do this. The prop might speed up momentarily until the governor does its stuff and keeps it at...

He was a very experienced and gentle pilot and I greatly enjoyed it. Pilots are GODS in bed, I must admit that!

Good thing he has a safetypilot however, since he can't see traffic for example. Maybe it's the wave of the future,...
