"Verify you have ATIS..."
Okay, for years and years whenever you first called Clearance, Ground, or Approach and you gave the ATIS that you had it was heard by the controller and we moved on. Foe the last year or so it seems that has changed. For example, I had a few trips in one day last week where every single...- svcta

G200/Galaxy brakes-WTF?
It is, i'll find the link. Realize that what you posted is concurrent with what I said regarding taxi technique. Slow the airplane down with one brake action from a relatively fast taxi speed, and then let the speed build back up. Don't drag the brakes, or slow down and speed up over and over... -
G200/Galaxy brakes-WTF?
. Okay, this conversation lead me to our DOM, who is one of those very smart people when it comes to stuff like this. And he even showed me a video that was quite informative. First of all, carbon brakes as installed on airplanes do not have ceramic in them. So, they don't "glaze" in... -

The ever-present dangers of internet discussion. No sweat! -

G200/Galaxy brakes-WTF?
I have no idea if the brakes in a G-200 ae the same compound found on a typical Dodge, but ours were quite noisy. On both of ours airplanes as I recall. Funny how nobody, even the fine folks at Gulfstream, could explain why the brakes on that airplane are so dicey. Either way, tt is right... -
G200/Galaxy brakes-WTF?
My understanding was that they would glaze if they didn't get hot enough. I was once told by a D.O. That if you were going to use carbon brakes then light the suckers up because small light applications were harder on them than heavy use. The reason being that they wold glaze and become less... -
G200/Galaxy brakes-WTF?
Never noticed any difference with that. My personal theory is glazing. Thhe brakes are too big for the airplane, and as a result never get hot enough to keep them from glazing. Except for that precise moment when they are used at 100+knots, but then we ease off of them almost immediately. Not... -
Great Ga. Airshow
Anyone going to be at KFFC tomorrow (10-08) for the airshow? -
MHLM - San Pedro Sula Honduras
I was there once. Took a van ride through the jungle to get to a fax machine. Even saw some lady tending to her broken down ox on the side of the road. Then this bus ran in to some guy's jeep and all the birds he had been trapping to sell for money for a sailboat got away... -

P-51 Crash at Reno
There is very little about the unlimited racers that is vintage. The age of the design is not a factor; The airplanes, like any other true racing machine, are pushed to their design limits. Sometimes things fail. I won't speak any further on that subject but to call it a matter of racing "65... -

O-2 info...
Well, picked up the O-2 on Saturday morning and flew it 1500 miles that day. Dead simple. Really comfortable, really economical. I have to say, I really like that airplane a lot already. One thing....when you raise the gear on that thing it is as if someone reached up and grabbed the tail... -
O-2 info...
I love a good story...do tell. Are you saying to delay the gear retraction until you have some altitude/energy to burn? Thanks! -
O-2 info...
This one is an o-2 that was certified as a 337. Civilian interior, so no radios back there. I've got zero experience with this airplane (O-2 or 337), so consider me uninitiated. Thanks and keep it coming... -

O-2 info...
Hey, gang, going to pick up an O-2 next week for a buyer. Sound airplane, fresh annual, etc. Any specific advice from anyone with experience in these? -
iPad Policy
So true. Maybe they'll have a little vacation time soon to relax and reflect. -
iPad Policy
Just amazing how something so simple and useful can be over-thought and complicated in to futility. Bottom line: It works. And this is a corporate forum....the 135 regs are more suited to the charter section. Not to be surly, but they are two different worlds and the iPad discussion gets... -
