"Michael" wrote in message om... "Wyatt Emmerich" wrote I had a my two-year transponder/static system check while visiting my mother in San Antonio. When I departed, I noticed the airspeed didn't come up like it should. I attributed this to shifting winds and assumed I had a slight tailwind. Then in cruise, I did my normal operating performance check. My IAS was about 30 knots low, but my groundspeed was normal. I tapped on the airspeed indicator and it gained six knots. Question #1: How would a transponder/static check screw up my airspeed? Was this just coincidence? In my experience, taking the airplane to the shop for something and having it come out with something broken that worked just fine previously is more the norm than the exception. Frankly, Michael, you seem to hang out with a rough crowd. You keep saying that the flight instructors are all incompetent, as are all the pilots, the FAA, the mechanics, and everybody else. Are you the only person in the whole world who is able to do his job? If so, then we should all take out a big insurance policy on you. We will need it if anything happens to you and the world stops turning as a result. :-) you are forgetting Tarver to whom, Honeywell/Bendix/King, Boeing, the FAA, the NTSB, Antonov Design Bureau, Collins, NASA and the Wright Brothers all owe a debt of gratitude. |
