Re: IFR Training Flights

Do IFR Student pilots annoy you all with repeated requests for practice approaches, etc? I sometimes think that Regional Approach gets a little put out with those of us who just want to hone our craft.
It's not just you that annoys them, Mel, they don't like anyone.

Re: Well it looks like Jr only beat his father

He also lent his name to energy independence but was totally let down by all his successors in this regard. But you knew all that.
Asking people to wear a sweater does not an energy policy make. But you knew that.

Re: Well it looks like Jr only beat his father

As I said somewhere else, the Bushes should have tried to chose their presidential years better; i.e. give the bad yrs to the democrats like 1991, 2001, and other earlier yrs. :P And when you said it elsewhere it was just as meaningless as it is now.

Re: Spanair take-off crash Madrid

Correct. There is nothing wrong with your theory but putting the theory into practice is a different story.
Concur. One would have to have some practical knowledge and experience in order to understand that, wouldn't he?

Re: Retired this month and still retired.

Great ! Maybe Flying Magazine will be worth reading again . Not likely. Not while they continue printing "I'm-happy-as-a-pig-in-shit-without-an-instument-rating" girl's garbage. Yes, 3BS, I know she looks bonkers in shorts. Perhaps, she'd be better off writing for a fashion magazine?

Re: Spanair take-off crash Madrid

As a pilot, I am neither MD-80 rated, nor profesional, nor experienced. However I think I have a better understanding of aerodynamics and mechanics of flight than many of those who are (I'm sorry if this doesn't sound humble, but that's what I think). Indeed. You've certainly always been quite impr...

I think it's a very thorough analysis of my parlor view that one should generally drop the nose a little when you are slow, at nose-high attitudes, not climbing very well and there's a stall warning , versus your training which "vehemently" tells you not to drop the nose, lest you get a b...

Really, while we're at it, since black people are so beyond any help, wouldn't it be cleaner if we just rounded them up and put them in ovens? No, that's too extreme.
