What I am trying to tell you is that the only way to know everything about an airplane is for the plane to kill you. You will realize the split second before you die what you need to know. Art Schol knows exactly what happened to him in his Pitts and he aint telling nobody.

I can't wait to look in the mirror, 'cause I get better looking each day!
To know me is to love me, I must be one helluva man!
Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, but I'm doing the best that I can..."
If you really want to know, the answer is yes, my dad can kick your dads ass.
He prefers to fly in actual icing conditions for which his airplane is not certified, and I don't think he could talk a CFII into going with him.labbats said:Why don't you concentrate on flying in actual instrument conditions while it's raining, foggy, etc?

tdturbo said:Actually it was the 10,000 hr CFI's idea that we go into the thin layer of ice with warm air below to see how it effects the planes flying ability, it was one of the best lessons I ever got. I guess you missed that part of the discussion Tony, you usually don't miss much.
tdturbo said:I know from flying my plane in ice a hundred times exactly how much it takes before I need to take action quickly… No biggy if you have warm air underneath you and plenty of altitude. A good way to see what your plane can handle is find a thin icing layer up high and dive in it and watch what happens. The scarey part is listening to the chucks shedding of in the decent slamming into the horizontal stab!.…. I Fly in and through ice routinely in the winter with a 182rg. I am usually very light and can shoot up through it or I make sure I have warm air aloft or below, but I usually get dusted either way. If I stayed on the ground every time I read a sigmet, I would never get anywhere… Today was a fun day in Chicago, I specifically requested a hold in IMC after getting a Sigmet for ice. I wanted to do this to see how long my mighty 182rg could fly before feeling a stall buffet from the tail. I can't wait for the FZ rain tomorrow.
If I only new where minitour lived I could hold over his house.
