Helen Waite wrote in : Mxsmanic wrote in : Again, you are talking to a pilot, who just experienced IMC and a vacuum failure. You're a very lucky pilot, then, if you're here posting to this newsgroup. Good grief! The poster is NOT the only pilot who has experienced vacuum failure in IMC. It's one of the basic things we train for. I had vacuum failure the very first time I was in the clouds after passing my checkride. It was a non-event. Bertie was being charitable when he said you know less about aviation than a cinder block. I'm kind of the mother Theresa of usenet. Old, dead, and smelly??? |

Good grief. The compass has a diaphragm to take care of expansion and contraction, and its fluid is just a solvent that has a low freeze point. Even plain old gasoline has a low freeze point. Mr. Potato Head, we don't put a big blob of flammable material in a cock-pit, your sci-phy-math-chem education is a functional Gr.10. Compass fluid is a petroleum product and is flammable. Its MSDS says it's odorless mineral spirits, which would make it similar to household paint thinner: http://www.setonresourcecenter.com/m...4/wcd00445.htm Nothing "precision" about that. And as for lag while banking, you haven't studied the Private Pilot groundschool stuff about Northerly Turning Error or anything else. You CANNOT use it to roll out on a heading like you claim. Duh, that's what your mag-field map is for, it provides the mag-heading relative to true north at the location you're at. I flew alot in ontario and lines are a mess, but that's not a big deal over ~ 50 miles. Magnetic variation has nothing to do with Northerly Turning Error or acceleration/deceleration errors. Nothing at all. You never took groundschool, obviously. And in southern Ontario, where you "flew," the variation is minimal, which you did not know. The lines aren't a "mess." Out in western Canada it gets a little more complex: http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/geology/a_geomag.html My required instruction was to use the mag-comp for IFR, including pitch level, yaw constant, and nulled roll, it's a semi skill. It has two spheres, one enclosing fixed to the aircraft that is transparent, but demarkated, and a internal floater also demarkated. The relative equators is what's important. Once the heading and throttle power is fixed, align the equators to maintain a constant pitch and altitude, and that will get you by in foggy night, if you have a flashlight. That's a 1 hour lesson, and I'd be happy to instruct you on that, if you're qualified to understand it. No, it won't. Ever. No matter how many times you claim it will. I had a cool instructor and we'd play out worst case scenerios, such as in a dark and stormy foggy night with all normal instruments failed, how do we get back to a base. What a bunch of nonsense. It would be funny if it didn't have the potential to mislead normal students. And you can't fly a 150 at 37 Kts indicated on approach. 150s never had knotmeters. anyway. Had airspeed indicators calibrated in MPH. LOL, Is that a MIAS instead of a KIAS? MPH indicated. You should know that. And what is an "indescent indicator?" Does it measure indecent exposure, maybe? Depends on whether you're using the yoke or the stick, which do you prefer? Ken How does that make any difference to an instrument that does not exist? Dan |

Not if you are using the right aircraft and you have crashes enabled. I once damaged my flaps simply by making a somewhat firm landing, and I've damaged gear on several occasions. A blatant lie. Again. |

Sometimes you have to speak their language. I've seen no evidence that "his language" consists of all-caps yelling about piloting. Quite the opposite, actually. My purpose wasn't to entertain people. If you want, however, I'll tell you some knock-knock jokes. I don't think your purpose *should* be to entertain people. Obviously that's not why this group is here, at least not primarily. But at least it's a redeeming feature of his posts, something that many of the responses don't have. I'm sure everybody appreciates your encouragement of his behavior, by the way. Nice job, Ash. Oh please. If he hasn't responded to years of strong, frequently abusive *dis*couragement of his behavior, what makes you think he'll respond to *en*couragement? It should be blindingly obvious that he'll do what he wishes and will not change his habits just because of what someone says. I find it to be tremendously ironic that these recent monster threads revolving around MX have led me to killfile several people who respond to him but not to killfile him. That's your choice. Different people come to the forum for different reasons. I'm here to share my experience and learn from the experience of others, and I read a whole lot more than I post. Same here. If you get to the point where you're typing in all caps, or having to wave your certificates in his face, take a moment to step back and think about whether your reply adds any value to the group. He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just about everybody. I answered his question initially because the question had value to the student pilots in the student group. His utter nonsense that followed merely adds misinformation and, perhaps, satisfies your entertainment needs. As to whether "waving certificates" in people's faces adds value, it's not much different than sourcing an official or authoritative reference, is it? If we were talking about combat it would be relevant for the readers to understand that the people in the discussion are a video game geek versus a combat veteran. It's relevant to the discussion, sure, when you present it as backing for your opinion or for facts. But when you come straight out and shout someone dow, saying that they're not allowed to disagree with you because you have credentials and they don't, that's just bad taste. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying all this because I think you're worse than MX. Quite the contrary. MX is beyond hope, and thus isn't worth trying to correct. The rest of you, however, ought to be able to modify your behavior to make things better. MX is a troll. Whether he is this way because he intends to be or simply because his personality causes him to be this way is irrelevant. Trolls destroy groups by spawning massive threads that drown out all the useful bits of the group. And of course it takes two to tango; a troll works by getting people to reply to him. If nobody replied to MX he would merely be obnoxious, not group-destroying. It's tough, and annoying, but to stop a troll you *must* be willing to let him have the last word. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |

He/She/It has denied being Anthony Atkielski, so we really have no way to tell. 1) Anthony Atkielski published a blog (aprenta.blogspot.com) 2) MX denies having ever written a blog Therefore MX denies being Anthony Atlielski And with the proven desire both Bertie and his ilk (recruited by constant cross posting), has shown in forging identities, Bertie's influence on the noise level of this group is really the only thing we can be sure of. As long as i have you anyway! Y'know, if'n Maxine doesn't like the noise level in rap, mebbe he should ask teh B8MBis for a moderated froup. snicker I wouldn't be the least bit surprised of MX's recent postings were not forgeries by Bertie & Co, since he has such a hard time getting attention otherwise. I don't forge, fjukkwit. Put up or shut up. If i've forged you and Databasix has ignored your protests, then news.admin.net-abuse.usenet is the place you should be shrieking about it. Databasix and/or Altopia would get a usenet death penalty and I'd be SOL for usenet access. So, if you're going to level forgery accusations you had better be prepared to back them up. Put up or shut up, asshole. -- "Tis an ill wind that blows no minds" |

He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute
every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just about everybody. On the contrary, MX started by posting that pilots cannot rely on physical sensations in instrument flight, and that the instruments must be your primary source of flight information. Dudley, myself, the FAA, and pretty much every source on the planet has agreed 100% with this statement, yet -- for reasons known only to y'all -- many posters here have now gone to incredible lengths to prove MX wrong. The argument has gone Clinton-esque, by nuancing the meaning of "sensation" down to the subtlest level. Now, of course, MX has gone off on a zillion tangents since then, and the signal/noise ratio here has gone back to unintelligible levels. I don't know what strange power MX wields over so many here, but it's creepy. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
