ADSB pings? Meh Lots of speculation But thinking he was analyzing traffic patterns of individual cars during a “oh crap” moment is not likely Have you had a forced off field landing? Dirty truth, low level short time to do anything failure in the wild, when it comes down to it, it’s more improv than following a script, for better or worse depending on the airman

+5C is like 42F, that’s not even “cold” Per Continental SIL 03-1 cold weather ops start at like 20F For me I wouldn’t change anything if it’s only 42F outside As always I’d just warm the jugs to 200F or so before I put much power to the plane Some folks do more damage than good trying to keep a engine warm that isn’t even cold, another best intentioned bad idea is the guys who leave the engine oil heater on 24/7 in winter I think your MP fluctuations are a different issue Continental SIL 03-1 Cold Wx Ops.pdf

It’s always interesting to hear how a pilot was a hero for avoiding someone, or why did he land on a car, it’s like listening to a small child try to explain something well beyond their grasp. He didn’t PLAN on hitting the car or PLAN on avoiding the car, his functioning IQ was probably cut in half when whatever happened to that plane happened, he was simply trying to go to the best spot he could see (in low light) in what little time he had, good chance he didn’t hit his target point anyway, presuming his target point didn’t change or was as he saw it first, which it probably wasn’t. Guy got dealt a bad hand, this just as easily could have been one of the ones where there was zero damage because it was in the day and early and the same people would be like “gee that’s a nice landing” There is only so much you have control of in life. Time will tell the cause of the issues on that plane

If people will pay it Also hasn’t most of the GA fleet been sold off to chinese companies these days? Seems kinda strategic

Some of the heavy aircraft I’ve flown use the same method crossing FL180 we’d put some lights on on approach the next set cleared to land taxi

Here ya go Private, owned by Longfellow Ranch Partners LP It is also inside of a rather large UAS NOTAM that goes up to 17,999’ The owner address for that parcel goes to a petroleum company Sounds like a episode of Landman lol

I don’t think it’s that dramatic, fuel contaminant is fuel contamination. If I pulled a chunk of gunk out of a tank that was that significant, it’s be purging the tank, all the filters, all the lines, carb, etc. I’d also probably save/send the gunk out to have it analyzed as to what it was different path I’d take if was a mud dauber nest vs bits of sealant/hose that broke down

the airways I just put it into FF and ether send, or turn bends only on and put in the waypoints, doesn’t take long. VNAV isn’t quite as smooth for a crossing restriction, but still not too bad it has smart glide, knob fully twist, direct enter enter (don’t even have to look) at the same time I (the smart part) pitch for best glide not sure of the ADSB is a benefit, I don’t and won’t run it myself, but I get some find see pluses that outweigh the safety and security minuses Speaking of which, wasn’t there like a Garmin 580 or something that was kinda rare but a step up from the 530 that did airways etc? I remember reading they deliberately made the 430/530 no able to load cleanly a airway to sell the model up…

Huh? If you knew the plane and its maintenance history better than anyone why can’t you answer that question yourself? I’m not a engineer and I can also say removing a giant chunk of gunk from fuel tank and having the plane crash shortly after might be tied together too

No thanks

I have done all that with a 430W/530W Now if they make a new navigator that also has a built in INS or something, well that would be a upgrade

Just the way it is. One is better and the industry has reflected it, denying it would be a worse look

ahh, still a good box however

Well done!

As long as your GPS is a WAAS Garmin (430W etc) you really are not gaining much outside of cosmetics
