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.
I'm afraid you may have a mistaken understanding of the meaning of experience. Having experience doesn't mean that you manipulate the controls “better”, it means that you just fly “smarter”. You mentioned that "I Fly in and through ice routinely in the winter with a 182rg." and "If I stayed on the ground every time I read a sigmet, I would never get anywhere…" I'm going to cut you some slack on this and assume that you were taking a bit of "journalisitic liberty" with what you've actually done.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.

avbug said:More recently he bragged about flying his airplane over chicago for an hour with the engine off and the prop stopped...he was advocating the practice for low experience pilots, and ardently defended the idea. But he can do that, you see...who could tell him differently? He knows more about that airplane, and flying it, than any other soul alive.
If only someone out there could challenge him, but alas and alack, he's the best there is, and it's sad when one has no competition at the top. Now all he can do is help elevate the rest to his level...
phil said:Phil is back, so sorry to disappoint you, I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, and compared to Avbug's time and experience, I have pittifully little.
In fact he's probably forgotton more than I'll ever know about aviation, and that's a fact, he's got 20 years head start on me.
Aside from deflecting the issue away from yourself-good try-and the inconsistancy of your stories, I am glad to see you are indulging in the wisdom of a CFI to further your persuits to be a better pilot, whether or not you'll get smater about ice is up to you, I hope so. Led Sled gave some good advice.
Well you thought wrong junior.phil said:Go ahead young man, are you 13 or what? Ask the moderator, you'll find it is impossible that we're the same person. The only thing that is similar is that we visit ipilot.com where you were recently banned, and both like to gang up on your lame ass assertions that you advocate for low time pilots.
I think Avbug should put the URL of that post he refered to so we all can see how lame your advice to young pilots really is. Care to give us the URL instead without erasing all your posts first?
I thought so...
avbug said:TD,
Calm down brightspark. You're the genius. Figure out how I can be in two places at once...you're doing better than me. As it turns out, I'm just down the road from you...right here in your neighborhood. Plot out the IP addresses...figure out where I am.
I gaurantee you Phil is nowhere in the area...but you sure are. Think about that.
I am not banned, not only that, Cary was banned, not me. He also lost his moderator position and soon his law license due to his stupidity. The ARDC will be talking to him soon
Let me assure you, I am a current CFII and I have probably more experience in icing conditions than you have total time. I am also a current CFIG, so I know a thing or two about operating without an engine. To put it bluntly, your attitude and bravado are troubling; but hey, what do I and the other highly experienced pilots that frequent this board know. Teach us oh learned one.TDTURBO said:This board is sad when nobody with a CFI has any actual or experience with ice. Not having experience in a controlled environment with ice or dead engines is incomprehensible to me.
