I was thinking in more of a size issue. Also, with a Mooney, you sit down into it and have to climb out of it. I would love to take my 96 year old Dad for a ride, but I don't think de could get back out.

There is a J a few hangars away from mine. He does Angel Flights. I would think you would need to work with them on the size and mobility of the people.

My 252/Encore had the vacuum speed brakes replaced with electric. Something I did not realize before I picked it up. A nice $8000 GOOD surprise. There is an STC for them in my files.

As has been mentioned, many old aircraft did not have a Alt switch, only the master. The rational I heard for starting with it On was it put less load on the coupling as the engine spun up, than engaging it with the engine running at 1000 - 1200 RPM, especially if the battery is low. That said, my POH says Off for start.

One big problem is, we don't have real AI. We have complex sets of issues/responses. I read somewhere that the biggest problem with self driving cars is that people driving cars do strange things that the self-driving car cannot deal with. Once they can start dealing with the unexpected, we will be close to real AI.

Yeap. Used to be a 6 weeks course (full time), something like 3 different tests and a significant failure rate.

Also, the system was tested and reading 180 when the probe is in 212 water. Then in flight, as long as reading is over 130, oil is at 162

One issue is, a lot of cars those things are not optional. So them buying them does not mean that they WANT them. And then poll those that had a accident where/because the automated system failed.

That would help.

It would help if we would actually teach people to drive. Compared to the process of getting a pilot certificate, getting a driver's license is little more handing them out on the street corner. One issue is, it is more acceptable to most people to be in control and make a mistake that to not be in control and have the computer make a mistake.

Exactly. Leave putting the prop full forward until short final. Or just teach yourself Red, Blue, Black for go around.

Talk to James Gallagher here on MS. He can steer you the right way and give you a great price. This week I think he is giving 10% off for SnF. But you have to contact him directly.

I have a SensorCon. Search around, they have discount codes floating around.

Wonderful. I am looking forward to attending my first one. The last weekend in Sept tends to be problematic for me, so hoping it does not conflict.

Did you watch last season? Passing is very common now. Not only DRS, but aero changes that allow them to run closer together. Yes, I like MotoGP, and yes, they are crazy for doing what they do on bike. That is why I no longer own a bike. I know I would end up with liter sport bike, and I am too old to rol down the track at 175 MPH after falling off. Just pointing out, cars are faster. Even on the street.

So, it was 5 degrees above the horizon. That is much closer to the horizon that your Mooney would be with the yoke full back. The point is, they did not recognize the stall because they never did one in the airplane and may not have done one in the sim. Under Normal Law, an Airbus WON'T STALL.

I changed the ratio to 2500 in my JPI, and after a couple of short flights, it seems to be off a tiny bit. Maybe 2510 is the key.

Plus trimming and installing them.

F1 and Moto GP have similar acceleration to 100 KPH or 62 MPH. In the range of 2.6 seconds. But to 300 KPH, the F1 car takes significantly less time to get there. Braking the F1 car wins. Current F1 cars can corner and brake at around 5 G. Overall lap times are much quicker with F1. "F1’s cornering speeds hand it a significant advantage, even on tracks with few turns: Valtteri Bottas’s pole time of 1m02.939s in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix in 2020 far outstripped the 1m23.450s set by MotoGP’s polesitter Maverick Vinales that same year." "Let's compare their performance over a lap at the Austin circuit in 2015: Formula 1 MotoGP Best racing time 1'40''666 2'04''251 Highest racing speed 332,3 km/h 344,2 km/h" So MotoGP does have a higher top speed. But lose in braking and cornering. I am more of an F1 fan, but do enjoy MotoGP.

Uuuh, they did have the artificial horizon. So the point is, if you are IFR, applying full aft stick and the AI shows the nose on the horizon, what are you going to do? The real key was the altitude winding down, but unless you have stalled a swept wing airplane would you be thinking stall???

That is what I do and it makes me happy. One thing, I don't think there is actual sink when retracting the flaps, but a momentary reduction in the climb rate. Like the Vomit Comet mentioned, if you are going up at 700 FPM, and it drops to 650 FPM, you will feel a bit light in the seat

More RPM and Less MP or More MP and Less RPM. Both can lead to the same amount of power

To save a $350 wingtip cover if you forget to turn them off after landing? Priceless.

True, except that motor gliders are gliders. But I can see that fuel systems might be part of a the Engines rating, or Powered Aircraft - Piston or Powered Aircraft - Turbine. More just tossed out some ideas. The idea being, that maybe the time could be shortened by separating the areas into smaller bites. No need to learn turbines if you are going to be at a small field with only piston planes. If you move to a shop with turbines, you spend some time under direction and add on that rating.

I bought my plane last summer. It took 6 months for the registration was changed. AFAIK the old registration is not valid upon the application and issuing the new temp. But would Canada be able to tell that?
