I wish I could just go fly!! Life has been really in the way for the last two years. I am jealous of your 30 minute flights.

The short answer is yes. Aero has been in the rules now for a few years along with other technological improvements. Track records get bettered every year at every track. The corner speed along with the lean angles achieved are amazing. Almost impossible to believe it if you didn't see it happening lap after lap. The upcoming problem is that the speeds achieved now have and are outgrowing the older classic tracks.

The cars are faster around the track, obviously. It all comes down to the contact patch between the tires and the track. F1 has almost 12x the contact tire patch over the bikes, and much larger breaks at triple the size and double in number. This is like comparing an Acclaim against a TBM. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison. However, when it comes to the actual racing, MotoGP is far more entertaining and exciting as a whole. That statement is just fact. Any race in any series can become boring, processesional, or a foregone conclusion (F1). MotoGP however, that is few and far between. As Anthony always disclaims: Not an F1 driver Not a MotoGP pilot, Not an AP

What are your topics?

I know, I know, not aviation. MotoGP is by far the best racing, the best entertainment, and most intriguing world racing series on the planet. David

Pictures please?

Hmmm. Interesting. First I've heard this.

Did you run the backup pump? Same result?

Hahahahaha Good Catch.

Controllers are supposed to vector to the final below the GS so you don't have to dive. But of course the MVA ( minimum vectoring altitude) must allow for that. You just fly along level until it becomes active, then follow it. If you are above they must ask if above is OK. Your intercept is supposed to be at least two miles outside the approach gate. That's a point two miles from the FAF or five miles from the runway. And they have to give you your position with the clearance. They can turn you on at the FAF with your concurrence. As to what happened I can think of a couple of things. First the controller may have been busy and couldn't take the time to vector you out farther to intercept below. He just wanted to get rid of you to lessen his workload. I understand. I've been there. Most of the time intercepting a bit above doesn't hurt and he was betting it wouldn't here especially if he knew the bases were high. And you sounded like a proficient pilot so he figured you could do it. We always listen to the voice. If you sound like a rookie we don't expect as much. Second, with T in the area maybe he was turning you in close to avoid one that he saw. None of us always get all of our i's dotted and our T's crossed and the system still works. That's what flexibility is for, not to excuse an error, but that's life. What to do?? If your set-up doesn't look right ask for what you need. If you think you'll be high ask for a farther vector though it could change your sequence and take longer. He may make you last instead of first. He's not god. You have rights. It's a partnership. Do what he says, but don't let him walk on you. Be honest. Tell him if you need something. Go missed if you have to. He'll hate that. He has to work you again. Maybe he'll do better then.

Do not discount the possibility that the sediment may be coming from the caliper.

What is cool about this Acclaim is that it is #1 in 'production' serial numbers. Lance informed me of that nice detail.

Today at KERV. Ap Brian Hendrick getting her fixed up.

That makes sense. Dad was First Calvary '56-'58.

Hot Air Baloon?

Glider?

Check the obvious 1st. Make sure the brake pads are not in backwards.

Waco, TSTI?

Quick story. I asked Dr. for the Ondansetron tablets. Got them just two days ago. I don't drink by choice. Never liked how it made me feel. I have been incapacitated by alcohol only three times, maybe, in my life. My wife, last night, made me drink to the (almost) completion of her new swimming pool/hot tub. Between the hot water and the frigging Hand Grenade she made, I was in trouble. I was completely coherent, but felt like I was severely motion sick. I took one of the new pills and the queasy feeling relented. True story. Last night, Ash Wednesday. I will say that I am confident that the Ondansetrom will help the next time I'm doing steep turns.

Hehe. Good catch, plane spotting.

What about Ondansetron? It's been described to me as an anti-throwup pill. Anyone have experience with this medicine?

I have motion sickness. All my siblings do.(thanks Mom) Is the patch that goes behind the ear a no-no for private pilots?

Maybe below minimum altitude for chute??

That caught my attention also. Ring Spar made me say 'huh'?
