I'm genuinely impressed.

Nope! The absolute 100% stupidest thing anyone has ever said on the
entire planet was said by John Q. Pilot when he hollered upstairs to his
lovely bride who was cooking dinner;
"I'll be up in a minute dear. I have to post an answer to one of
Mxsmanic's questions."
:-))


Mmm, maybe, but, given time, Anthony could top even that.

Would you please provide documentation for this statement?

The vast number of incidents linked to engine problems in piston airplanes, as
compared to the very much smaller number of incidents linked to engine
problems in jets.

Indeed, jets are what make modern commercial air travel possible. Piston
engines would have never been reliable enough or powerful enough to make it
happen.

The guy's amazing. :-)) I'm STILL waiting for him to address his blanket
statement that 0 lift ALWAYS occurs at 0 angle of attack. Several people
have correctly dealt with this misinformation but he simply lets it ride
and leaves them hanging while he moves away from that challenge onto
something else. Then when he's nailed in that thread, he leaves that
bunch hanging and moves on again. I love analyzing his antics.
For the life of me I can't figure out why perfectly knowledgeable people
take the time to deal with this character on any semblance of a serious
basis.
You have the right idea. Simply scroll down to the bottom of his
nonsense and post
"Nope"
:-)))

Well, unless he leaves himself open for a perfectly good insult!


Which is often..

Consider it done. My instructor is currently out of state, and so I'm
between lessons. I don't "learn" much by simming, but I can practice what
I've learned (to an extent nearly beaten to death here).

There one real advantage to simming. I have had two attitude gyros die on
me, so far under bright VFR conditions. I set the sim for random instrument
and radio failures during my approach. That keeps your cross check honest.
It just isn't the same to slap a suction cup over an instrument. (I also
don't have those nagging worries about whether the guy who towed the plane
to the maintenance hangar exceeded the nosewheel turning angles, and whether
that new noise I hear is the nosegear falling off.)

I also use simming to anticipate new flights. If I am going to a new and
complicated airport, I will set the time of day and weather to my
anticipated arrival, and sim a few landings. This has proven to be an
excellent tool to use in addition to traditional flight planning.

I find the sim to be much more difficult to, er, "manipulate" (I dare not
say "fly" after reading the past posts) than the airplane.

Simming will never replicate the sheer exhilaration of controlling a machine
as it leaves the earth below and returns, but the other day watching the
snow out the window and the very same thing on the screen, I was truly
struck by how well an inexpensive program, with a few little additions, can
simulate the mechanical motions flying requires.

Just do me a favor will you please? Don't go out and try to fly IFR with
all that "no instructor or safety pilot needed" simulator time in your log
book without getting some of that "instructor and safety pilot needed"
stuff as well.
Don't EVER be misled into believing that what you can do and what you see
on MSFS will replace the actual experience needed to safely fly the
airplane.
It's nice to enjoy MSFS, and God only knows I have even reviewed it for
its role in real world aviation and found it has many a useful purpose,
but MSFS will NEVER replace actual flight instruction and produce a safe
pilot, especially a safe instrument pilot.

You're right, MSFS has definite uses in the training program if used
correctly and carte blanche for specific things. It sounds to me like
you have a very good handle on where the sim can be used to some advantage.
I've actually reviewed MSFS as a training tool for real world flight
instructors for ASA. You can catch that review at www.simflight.com.
Just search "Dudley Henriques" and you should find it.
Lots of luck with your training. Sounds like you're in fine shape there.

Only if you're trying to catch him. no point.

Repeated whackings with the loon mallet© are what it takes.

Doesn't matter how slippery he is then and he knows it.

I still stand by it, but people who refuse to believe it for emotional reasons
will reject it no matter what.
