Looking at the last ADS-B ping, I think it landed in this dirt road

Nice, I was looking at the skew-t in Windy, but you don't get the KI and LI there.

Where can I find weather products showing LI and K factors? I googled a round a bit and couldn't find anything.

Kind of a side question, what would be a large growing cumulus? One of the few times I flew solo IMC I was flying on and out of cumulus clouds extending to 10kft. I was flying at 8k and each time I transitioned through one of these cells I could feel and see how speed increased while the output was holding altitude. I didn't feel comfortable so I asked ATC to fly around the cells. But I'm still not sure what's big enough to warrant flying around and what's on to fly through.

The most ironic thing about G100UL is that most likely is much worse for health and public safety than 100LL

I just realized that the main photo on g100ul.com does not show proper refueling hygiene! What a concept, right?! I guess when they took the photo, it was not still a thing to have to protect your aircraft paint while refueling.

Yeah, I think the IA would be liable if he doesn't comply with the steps / modifications stated in the STC. But I don't know how he could be liable as long as the work associated with STC was correctly performed. I don't think the IA responsibility is to question and evaluate if an STC is safe or not, that is the responsibility of the FAA.

Don't California my Texas

I guess they are trying to kill G100UL without saying that they made a mistake in approving the STC... if 100LL is not banned, G100UL is death.

No, I meant on the ruling regarding the 100LL ban.

Any news on the court side?

Thanks, will do!

Hi all, a couple of months ago I received a letter from the Fort Bend central appraisal district regarding my Mooney, to fill Form 50-159. The way I understand the letter, as I'm using the aircraft for personal use / pleasure I don't have to fill the form, but just want to double check. What confuses me is that the letter starts with "Aircraft owners in Texas are legally required to file the .... form" but then it continues with "this form is designed for the declaration of aircraft property that is used for income-producing purposes and was owned or managed in a fiduciary capacaty as of January 1".

> G100UL has not been approved by the FAA’s Piston Engine Aviation Fuels Initiative (“PAFI”), which was created to review unleaded fuels. (Oppo at 4-5) There is no ASTM Standard for unleaded gas, so there is no industry standard against which G100UL can be measured to ensure that it is safe and appropriate. (Oppo at 5-6, 9-10, 15-16.) Several aircraft manufacturers have disapproved use of G100UL for various reasons, including that it degrades tank sealant. (Oppo at 7-9.) G100UL has not been subject to “peer review” because GAMI (its manufacturer) refuses to share information without a confidentiality agreement. (Oppo at 9.) This part mentions some safety concerns and mentions the GAMI refusal of peer review without a gag clause.

I love this part, too good to be true.
