Flying Mooneys: October 2008
http://mooneyflyer.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Sunday, October 26, 2008. Aviation Terms I Hate. I love aviation, but there are several terms or phrases that drive me nuts. Many of these phrases are used regularly by pilots and even some have official FAA definitions. I will rant about several of these during this BLOG Post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things That Drive Me Nuts. Aviation Terms I Hate.

Flying Mooneys: What Causes Airplane Accidents!
http://mooneyflyer.blogspot.com/2008/08/what-causes-airplane-accidents.html
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Tuesday, August 26, 2008. What Causes Airplane Accidents! In a word, "pilots" cause most accidents. Most people think that airplane accidents are mostly caused by mechanical issues. This is just an old wives tale (OWT). More than 75% of all accidents point back to the pilot. Here's something that will surprise many non-pilots. A portion of pilot-induced accidents start before the pilot leaves the ground. So there are many mo...

Flying Mooneys: Smokey Flying
http://mooneyflyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/smokey-flying.html
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Wednesday, July 9, 2008. So I live in California where there are 343 phenomenal flying days per year. The other 22 are rainy or foggy. But this summer is different. It's nasty flying everyday, due to the 1500 wildfires. It's really quite frustrating since I can see that the day is perfect with blue sky, and if it weren't for the smoke, unlimited visibility, or as we pilots refer to it as "Severe Clear".

Flying Mooneys: September 2008

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Friends don't let friends fly Slow Airplanes. So when you go to a fly-in, you will often hear a pilot claim, I got here in 2 hours, but if I were flying a Cessna, I would have had to leave yesterday. I guess you just have to love those magnificent pilots and their flying Mooney machines. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things That Drive Me Nuts. Friends dont let friends fly Slow Airplanes.

Flying Mooneys: June 2008
http://mooneyflyer.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Thursday, June 26, 2008. I taxied out to the runway, not really sure I was fully prepared. At least one of us thought so. The airport was uncontrolled, so I made my radio call on Unicom and took off. Taking off is easy. Then I turned downwind and realized I didn't think that I had ever made a landing myself, without assistance. Oh my God! Friday, June 20, 2008. And so is my beautiful co-pilot! Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Even t...

Flying Mooneys: I.F.R. Flying
http://mooneyflyer.blogspot.com/2008/07/ifr-flying.html
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose one's self. Thursday, July 10, 2008. Well, I bet you thought this post was going to be about IFR, Instrument Flying Rules, as opposed to VFR, Visual Flying Rules. Actually both types of flying "rule", although I do all of my flying VFR. I do that for one reason. I fly to enjoy the view and to get to somewhere fun. Thinking that is an odd question, I respond, "black". He says, our runway is white (concrete), and it's runway 27, not 24.
