Well done by your friend. I always ask my students that question, you’re at minimum fuel and you can’t divert, winds are way beyond the xwind component on all runways, what do you do? No one ever says land on the most advantageous taxiway.

KodiakRS posted:I actually got delayed a few hours yesterday because the crew bringing in our airplane didn't notice the "ILS OTS" notam for an airport with 1 mile vis in the forecast. To be fair to them the notam was a single line of text buried in literally a dozen pages of warnings about deadly hazards like windmills that are actually 3' taller than marked. But if you were IFR and at the MEA you'd only have 997' of clearance and that's just unacceptable.  e: I've always had a gripe with taxiway closures at 24hr controlled airports, for example at my home base they're resurfacing a lot of the taxiways and fully 1/2 of the NOTAMs are twy clsd. Great if ATC routes me that way I guess I'll let them know "hey check the NOTAMs you big dumb, that's closed" The other half are to let us know that radials off of the local VOR are unusable, even though the unusable portions are reflected in all the respective charts. I don't get it, they've been like this all summer. It's a pain trying to teach students the importance of checking NOTAMs and then 99% of them are useless information for essentially any type of flight. fake e: here's the current list, only one of them is actually useful as pertains to the safety of flight 10/074 (A3213/16) - TWY C BTN TWY H AND TWY C7 CLSD. 29 OCT 21:38 2016 UNTIL 30 JAN 23:59 2017 ESTIMATED.

I fly with the Pro-X in a PC12 it works really well. e: also on ear is really nice with sunglasses as the arm doesn't get squeezed in to my head or break the seal of the pad on my ear. I also use them in piston stuff, and the noise cancelling works just fine there too, even better than the Sennheiser S1 Digital I had before it honestly. e.pilot fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Nov 2, 2016 |

I finally got the paperwork that tells me what I need to do to get my medical back and I think NASA has a less rigorous process for qualifying astronauts. I have to have like 3 doctors conduct an rear end-load of evaluations and god loving dammit, this is retarded. I don't have nor have I ever had any cases of depression and their standard protocol is treating everyone like they just threatened to murder their family and blow up a building. I went through that struggle for being on citalopram for all of 2 months, good luck man. Moral of the story, don't ever let anyone tell you that taking medications will have no impact on your future life and opportunities.

EvilJoven posted:I thought the worst was just lean of peak, where your combustion gets so hot you start burning holes through the top of your pistons. After a certain point of being too lean it will start running cooler again just because of the lack of fuel, detonation starts to become the issue with too lean of a mixture.

I'll post a full write up when I can get to a computer.

Captain Apollo posted:I would really appreciate it. I know how to fly a twin, it I'm not sure exactly what I need to be able to teach and more specifically DO in the multi practical portion. Sorry I'm super late replying, been a hectic week and it slipped my mind. Know your single engine aerodynamics, know everything that contributes to the left engine being critical in a conventional twin. Know why and where multi is the most dangerous. Be able to list of the things you need to do from a takeoff configuration to clean the plane up and get best SE performance. Have a good takeoff brief covering everything from the takeoff roll, below 1000ft with the gear still down, and above 1000ft with the gear up. Directional Control is everything. Know what contributes to the lack of it. Chapter 18 of The Flight Instructor's Manual by William Kershner is solid and has pretty much everything you should know in it, along with some good drawings. Another good one, though not as concise or written from an instructor standpoint is ASA's Complete Multiengine Pilot.
