Sort of They were holding attitude and power. But swept wing aircraft do not stall like straight wing aircraft. The nose does not drop, it stays about at the horizon. So, the AI showed level, but the VVI was showing massive down. But level with climb power should have meant increasing airspeed or climbing, and they did not notice that. I still recall doing a full aft stick stall in the T-38. And, the two pilots were making contradictory inputs, but in the Airbus, only one of them has control at the same time. And the sticks are not interconnected, so the one pilot thought he had control, but he did not. And he did not know the other pilot, who did have control, was making the opposite control input.

Since you are winding down, start taking some longer trip. Fly to interesting places. Fly further afield to sample airport restaurants.

Not exactly helpful

Flying is hours and hours of sheer boredom, punctuated by moments of stark terror. AI can handle 99%, or 99.9% or even 99.99% of flights. The problem is the other ones. Like AF447, like United 232, even Sully's flight.

Hmm, so why do systems have bugs???? And, you are assuming that the AI system doing the testing does not have any issues.

I had a total electrical failure in a friend's T-34. Master relay failed. About 2 minutes after dropping out of a solid cloud layer, after about 1.5 solid IFR. If it had happened 5 minutes to 1.5 hours earlier, it would have been UGLY. FYI, T-34 instruments are all electric.

And EGTs

Where have you been the last 8 months????? They were announced around Oshkosh 2022, and I placed my pre-order. I made final payment a couple of weeks ago and expect them to ship very soon. 12 volt models are already shipping

Piston or turbine. Tube/fabric or Wood or Metal or Composite Common to all would be basic systems training, such as fuel delivery, electrical, etc

This what I was thinking. For pilot certificates we have levels (Private, Commercial, ATP) and Category and Class. So why not A&P sub categories. Like A&P limited to Metal Aircraft and Piston Engines. Or Composite and Turbine, etc.

Try flying from the right seat VFR. Then under the hood. It is not a big deal. Instructors do it all the time.

Mike Busch and George Braly agree.

And what happens if more than one of the aircraft being monitored has some issue/failure?

And how many crashes/deaths along the way? I have worked in and around the computer industry a long time. And complex systems have complex failure modes that are not easily anticipated. And when you have a failure, the fix often causes other failures.

The problem is, in most cases, that is how the FAA reads them.

East Coast is easy, get the plane to KGAI and have Byron ( @jetdriven here in MS) do the pre-buy.

Have you tested this?

I am in NE MD with a M20K 252 upgraded to Encore spec.

A pipe cleaner will keep the bug out of the tank vents And not block them if you forget. I bought a bag of 100 extra long red ones from Amazon.

Did you tell him to join Mooney Space???

My buddy printed one of these, but the rings are slightly small for his GATS jar. it is working on modifying to fit

You are also paying for them to defend any suits.

Use the Blackstone vacuum collector for my cars. But I also use an oil sucked and do not take out the drain plug.

Uuuh, that is exactly what they said, a bit more nicely. "Repair service will continue to be offered while components required for a specific repair remain available."

So the IA would not sign it off because something MIGHT happen in the future? Wow, heck you engine might fall off in the future.
