201er

Altimeter 30.13. So pressure altitude is about 200ft lower. When ADSB shows 600, should be 800MSL. Still kinda low.

Sounds similar to the one in Canada not too long ago but with a much worse outcome KSGJ 251556Z 07010KT 10SM OVC041 21/16 A3013 10 knot tailwind on base leg would imply about a 74 knot indicated diminishing to 63 in the base to final turn. Popped door not only requires maintaining focus but also carrying additional airspeed. Something about how the air flows or the airspeed indicator indicates appears to require about an additional 10 knots of airspeed to maintain the same angle of attack in my experience. I NEVER let anyone else close my door and it hasn't happened in a decade since.

Did you try Brian? He’s a Mooney owner and used to do a lot of pre-buys. He’s a Mooney guy and last I heard he’s been in DC. I think: @orionflt

Keep in mind some states may require 2 locks and the ignition key acts as the second. NJ requires aircraft spending over 24 hours to have 2 locks: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2003/march/25/general-aviation-aircraft-two-lock-faqs

I can’t imagine them going for more than $200 when Mooney CBs have so many excellent alternatives

Does your landing light appear one bit brighter from the cabin?

Check controls with master on and off. Check the autopilot.

That was done without my permission or input

...and I'm usually telling people not to buy an expensive headset during private pilot training because 80% drop out and you're not getting most of your money back

Appendix D to Part 91—Airports/Locations: Special Operating Restrictions Section 3. Locations at which fixed-wing Special VFR operations are prohibited. The Special VFR weather minimums of § 91.157 do not apply to the following airports:… Not available at some airports. IFR traffic receives priority. And you can potentially go missed and climb IFR on a visual but not SVFR. Also, a visual approach can get you in descending out of instrument conditions. SVFR may be limited to the terminal area because you would need an instrument clearance to continue out of the area into controlled airspace. https://www.avweb.com/flight-safety/risk-management/special-vfr/

I posted a video of gear retract in 201. Gear retraction began 8 seconds after lift off and was completed 10 seconds after liftoff. The right main continued spinning well past 20 seconds after liftoff. Seeing this convinced me to tap brakes.

Yes. I have made it a habit to tap the brakes after every takeoff in my Mooney after seeing what’s happening with my wheels in this video of one of my takeoffs a while ago: 2:35 into the video. I was surprised how long the right wheel was spinning after retraction. There may be some wear from loading from gyroscopic precession while swinging spinning wheels. But more importantly it may be spraying mud/debris into the wheel wells. Particularly after parking on grass (think Oshkosh). So, it’s become SOP not to think about differentiating when the wheels are clean vs not. I tap the toe brakes while reaching for the gear lever.

Well apparently Blade claims to offer charters and helicopter flights to Area 51. Found this via google: https://www.blade.com/airports/homey-area-51

Then maybe it's to make an airspace violation double jeopardy. Fly over this and then you're busted for violation of both restricted airspace and tfr!

You can get cleared through TFRs too. Same deal, just squawking and talking.

§ 91.409 Inspections. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may operate an aircraft unless, within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had— (1) An annual inspection in accordance with part 43 of this chapter and has been approved for return to service by a person authorized by § 43.7 of this chapter; or

I think @DanM20C has a lot of experience with flying in the cold with the heater full blast and not enough heat.

I don’t use foreflight but here’s a poor man’s imitation. Doesn’t look like much but I’d been down to Florida 5 times. Tampa area twice, Naples twice, Fort Lauderdale. Also out to Dallas, Chicago, and Roanoke.

When’s the Mooney one?

Wow, some CB you are. I know at least a dozen mooniacs who would have made the trips just cause they already paid for the sticker!

You sure 6 wouldn't be better?

Are they still just as useful for detecting the binary of yes there is CO or no there isn't without calibration? Is it just the value that may be off without calibration or the ability to alert to the presence of CO entirely?
