About four seconds into the first video it sure looks like the port prop is stopped. Could be a stroboscopic effect but I have my doubts.

There will be no new causes of aviation accidents in 2020.

LOWER THE NOSE

LOOK OUTSIDE

The important things are always simple. The simple things are always hard.

Good opportunity to thank you

For the training and meat-ball method. Today I had EFATO at 200 AGL. Luck was that I was in the twin plane (ho) and everything went uneventfully as possible. There will be CADOR on it because it was on the bigger airport so traffic was on hold and fire services were waiting for me to land. If it weren't for the urgency, it looked fantastic behind the plane with the amount of smoke it exhausted from the engine.

Lots of cold water around that airport.

Lower the nose.

I watched a guy in a Pietenpol spin in in Red Lake. He was circling at about 100 feet above a hanger across the bay from us. It was a little windy and gusty, just your normal summer day. All of a sudden he drops a wing and spins in. Holy crap we thought he was dead. He hit the backed of a house trailer and crumpled that and walked away with just a few scratches. Damn -- he was a card carrying christian, he likely thought it was an act of god but i'm thinking just pure bullshit luck.

Likely hitting the trailer saved him - it provided a more gentle de-celeration
than directly hitting the ground.

The thing about a spin, is that the speed is mostly vertical, instead of horizontal.

Opinions vary, but I think the most important thing action you can take before a
crash is to do up your shoulder harness.

I am spoiled by double five-point harnesses that bolt me solidly into the seat instead
of flopping around like a rag doll during dee-cubed ess by dee-tee cubed, which is the
rate of change of acceleration. I need that on a t-shirt (hint hint).



I have spent decades and many thousands of hours wearing that rig. I can't imagine
flying without it. You like the come-alongs on the lap belt? If you don't blow blood
vessels in your legs, it's not tight enough.

I’ve got a couple new shirts brewing up in my brain. But I’m a little too dumb for that physics stuff

me fly plane good

I think my next big seller will be my Super Troopers Transport Canada spoof.

I’m getting better at adobe illustrator, I find it hard to translate my sense of humour and design ideas into Bangladeshi.

But stay tuned

Anything Super Troopers is a winner.



PS. Fizz-icks is easy. Wing push air down. Engine push air back.

Like plumbing, it's complicated, but you can learn it all in one day.

1) poop runs downhill
2) cold goes on the right
3) payday is on Friday

I remember working as an electrician at the Pulp & Paper Mill
in Thunder Bay, we all lost our sense of smell. Kraft mill, not
Covid. Still remember that sulfur.

Carter had the prettiest Catalina. Serious fisherman.

I drove haul truck for those guys back in the 70's -- damn that autocar was a tank
