    Post-private curriculum?

    Hi guys, What do you recommend for follow-up training after ASEL? Not ready to start on my instrument rating just yet, but I want to challenge myself and keep learning so I stay sharp. I fly 172s/152s about twice a week. Thanks.

    Thanks for the tips guys, I'll see what kinda trouble I can get into. -9

    Bead blasting

    Clad aluminum looks pretty, but keep in mind that it's slightly weaker than an unclad sheet-- and once you scratch through the 1100 on the surface-- or polish it away, ding it, or otherwise compromise it-- you're essentially back to square one with respect to corrosion. Also, note that it's...

    C182 fuel cell question

    ERJ, I appreciate the info, thanks. I had a feeling we'd have to replace it, but hopefully it won't be too bad. I'm an A&P student, so I actually WILL have to deal with it personally, but I'll learn a thing or two I'm sure. The ER configuration (39 gal. each) on the 182 incorporates two...

    C182 fuel cell question

    Hi guys, Got a '66 182J at school with extended range tanks (39 gal). They're of the [pain in the butt] bladder type. The right-hand cell has a laceration in the integral nipple where it passes through what looks like the wing butt rib and joins the aluminum fuel line in the fuselage. Wow...

    Skills needed to be an A&P

    Back to the original question posed by no1pilot2000...... I'm in A&P school right now and very much enjoying it. The math and physics review typically comes at you early in the program, and it kicks a lot of guys' butts. It is NOT particularly difficult, but if you're rusty in those subject...

    Target acquisition

    Question for the fighter/attack guys: How do y'all initially acquire targets on the ground? I'm asking in light of the recent Zarqawi sting. Is it a GPS fix or what? It seems like a technological nightmare to be zipping around at 300 knots in the dark trying to put a GBU-12 on a house...

    (Yes another) Headset thread--Coiled cord vs. straight

    They look cool and can't get twisted any more than they already are. =)

    (Yes another) Headset thread--Coiled cord vs. straight

    I fly with a DC H-10-60..... excellent headset so far, but I'd suggest physically trying on whatever you're thinking of buying.

    Tools

    Thanks guys, Wasn't aware of the Snap-On student thing, that sounds like a nice gig..... so now my $6,000 torque wrench will only cost me $3,000. SWEET! I wanna do bush flying for MAF or AIM, which essentially means C206/207/208/210 stuff. I'll probably hit Snap-On for a half-price...

    Tools

    Starting my A&P in late August..... where did you guys accumulate most of your tools? I've got some already, but I'll need quite a few more, and I don't really want to buy them new if I don't have to. Any ideas? Yardsales? Shops that are upgrading to newer stuff?

    Al Haynes and United 232

    Heard Captain Haynes tell his story tonight in Manassas, VA. Very positive guy and sharp as a tack, try to catch his speech sometime if you can. While I was waiting in line for his autograph, the guy in front of me asked how long it took him to get back to work.... "About three months...

    ADIZ jet action

    Anbody happen to catch the pair of vipers over Montgomery County, MD tonight around 1930? Looked like they were circling GAI at one point. I'm assuming they were FS 121 out of Andrews but I didn't get a great look. They sounded sweeeeeeeeeet.........

    US Airways birdstrike

    Yep, I thought I heard him wrong about FL350, but he said that was right and that the captain had apparently informed (or debriefed) the passengers. It was a USAir flight from Anchorage to Vegas that was operated by America West (or vice-versa). Dad said the captain made a pretty quick...

    US Airways birdstrike

    My dad was on USAir 142 earlier today (passenger) out of Anchorage when his 319 apparently hit a goose at FL350 (!!!!)..... anybody have more info? Captain's glass was screwed up, but not as badly as you'd think. The only photograph he got was from the flight deck-- no exterior views. I...

    Best crosswind technique for light aircraft???

    'Last second' rudder In theory you're supposed to apply 'downwind' rudder to eliminate the crab at the last second before touchdown, but no airliner I've ever watched has landed without a significant degree of sideslip-- or maybe not sideslip per se, but at least a ground track that runs...

    CFI scared of 152s.

    Aw don't bust the little guys I love the '66 -150 that I fly, man! Kinda underpowered, but SWEET otherwise. It's one of the best trainers out there. You're certainly entitled to your likes and dislikes, but I'm a big fan of 'em. They're cheap too!
