gottagotowork posted:I also would have also expected some pushback, but hey, whatever works if the crew was comfortable with it. Like you said if the braking performance calcs still checked out... I'll keep that counterexample in my back pocket for my next petty gate call I will say that it was a DC-10-30, so they still had 9 more to play with. Not quite the same when you’ve only got four brakes on board, and you’re down to one on that axle.

It wasn’t exactly an unpopulated area. https://x.com/thenewarea51/status/1690854363810414593?s=46&t=v-jPHHI3el2DgXfsxbh7ww Just good luck all around. My crystal ball says the FAA is going to have something to say about this one.

I would definitely secure a medical (or decide on going with basicmed) before proceeding with any more flight training.

My club took delivery of a leaseback DA40NG and on day one started storing the fuel tester in the front seat pocket. So ya, that airplane will forever smell like jet fuel.

Phanatic posted:So after much back and forth with the FAA, they've seen fit to allow my GF to hold a first class cert, which they've now mailed to her. So far so good.  Refreshing to see someone do this in the right order for a change. Good on her.

DA40s only draw from the left tank unless you select the emergency fuel valve setting. You use a separate electric transfer pump to shift fuel from right to left as you burn it. You also have no quantity indication for the extended range tanks, so the first ten gallons aren’t displayed at all.

There’s a simple solution here. 1500hr requirement for CFI.

e.pilot posted:people read notams? When there’s an actual no-poo poo safety-impacting NOTAM like a runway closure or something, I draw that poo poo on the scope. The NOTAM system is broken.
