  1. Works best in a 60 degree flare
  2. Corrected for actual landing weight? With 1/4 fuel and no passengers or luggage, my Vs0 is 10 mph lower than book. Actual Vs0 = Vs0(max landing weight) * sqrt(Actual Weight/Max Landing Weight)
  3. That's my read as well
  4. $99/year for the ignition key to turn, $199/year includes twelve free mag checks!!
  5. Do you happen to know which Toyota model/year headrests fit? I am only aware of certain years' Nissan Pathfinder.
  6. Porsche 914
  7. If it ain't broke...
  8. ...or just hire @cliffy ...
  9. So you are not depressing the brake, but what about the rudder? If you are approaching with rudder input to correct for crosswind, but fail to neutralize rudder input prior to the nose wheel touching down, the plane will inevitably depart the centerline, possibly with noticeable enthusiasm.
  10. My personal minimums are 2100x30 ft day VFR, 2500x40 night VFR.
  11. Well in all honesty there is a mandatory biannual IRAN procedure for the contents of the brain..
  12. Wow. Great catch!!
  13. Yeah. There's that..
  14. I hope GAMI survives the G100UL fiasco..
  15. Lovely!! For another flavor of Bay Area flying experience, may I suggest E55, 0Q3, and 1C9. Happy to fly formation!
  16. Aero Accessories (KVNY) is my go to place.
  17. This!! No need for hardware solutions for software problems...
  18. Out of curiosity, do you keep the boost pump on at all times from engine start to level off, including taxi and runup?
  19. I mean.. These things fly perfectly straight without alternators, seat belts, airspeed indicators, transponders, or airworthiness certificates..
  20. My 71E came with an Owner's Manual rather than POH, and the only chapters that are FAA-approved and regulatory in nature are Limitations and Emergency Procedures. Balked landing procedure is under Normal and therefore merely advisory. I guess I'm lucky.
  21. If the idea is to run the engine on the ground, start cranking with mixture at idle cut off and slowly advance mixture while continuing to crank. Be patient. I wouldn't fly with an INOP boost pump.
  22. I would love one!!
  23. You are correct.
  24. Didn't they start selling at one more airport recently? Somewhere in TX?
