  Gear Trouble         


Author: Kobra

Flyers,

This is just a quick flying story some might be interested it.

My plane ('71 Cardinal RG) just came out of annual with a newly over-hauled
prop and hub. The mechanic and I test flew the plane around the pattern.
The goal was to check the gear horn because it was going off constantly even
with full throttle just prior to the annual.

Everything was fine and the gear horn went off appropriately at about 14 or
15 inches MP. We put the gear down and landed. All was normal and I
congratulated him for a job well done. Not only for the annual and gear
horn, but because he also fixed a very bad main gear shimmy that we've had
since we purchased the plane in 2002 [but I digress and I'll discuss this in
separate post]

The first flight after that I took the plane to Cape May, NJ (WWD) for
dinner with my wife. After take-off I leveled the plane and as I reduced
the MP past 25 inches the gear horn sounded. I applied full throttle and it
continued it's serenade for the next 30 minutes despite all attempts to
quell its false protest.

  Slightly OT, How do birds fly IMC?         


Author: Ricky

I want to know how a bird maintains positional awareness and avoids
vertigo while in the clouds. My next stop is to try & find out via
Google & other online resources.
If anyone here knows, though, it may make an interesting topic.

  Bothering a Pilot on Final         


Author: gliderguynj
Date: May 27, 2008 10:15

This weekend I was flying down to Ocean City NJ.... I was second in
pattern when someone came on the radio calling to the pilot on final
approach. Pilot on final, Pilot on final....you have the wrong freq.
We were flying, and didn't reply. He came on again, Pilot on Final
you have the wrong freq.... And repeated.

Apparently the "good samaritan" was thinking of Ocean City Md, which
has a different Freq. I finally got on and TX that we are on the
right Freq......

I have to admit, the whole thing was a bit distracting! My few
seconds of being distracted by this was enough to affect my pattern
alt. I understand the person was trying to be helpful but.....If the
pilot has already made it to final, why keep on TX'g? I mean the
pilot is on Final, let him/her concentrate on putting the plane down!
The person Tx'g wasn't on the field, didn't see what was going on and
was creating more of a situation than he was trying to help prevent.

It was a good lesson for me to try and tune out nonesense and just fly
the plane. I'm glad it was just a minor distraction like the radio
and in the future I'll be better prepared for a distraction in
pattern. So I guess I should say Thanks!

Yeah, Heineken, i think. Doesn't look too real and I've never seen an
airplane do anything like that, but one of ous 757s had a porpoising
incident and I have seen the reconstruction from the recorder...

How could a 737 possibly land this way?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAN0FHpDNA&feature=related

It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real;
funny as hell anyway.

Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and
see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters,
small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes,
military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher
up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield. I know there
are restricted areas where leisure fliers and such can't
fly over, but can g.a. pilots fly pretty much where they
want to? Fly around as you please with just keeping
an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more
near-misses and collisions if that's the case.
