During the show, 7/29....Just got the dorm newsletter today which has the following:
"Packages, & Baggage
You may not ship packages to campus prior to or during your stay. This decision...
Coming in by airline this year and will be at Airventure about 10:30 (Thursday). Staying at dorms. The dorm check in is 4 pm and this year they will not store baggage. Is there an alternative to me...
Good points!..As time progresses more people will have adsb and probably have a better configuration rate after 2020 kicks in...This may be ahead of its time but might be more useful in 2020.
Thx Bill, I've had several aircraft over the years that I've flown in, including a Velocity, 3 years with Mooney Caravan, RV6, Cherokee, Mooney alone, Varieze, First flight in the 80s and I've made...
Somehow this has moved into the "spin" zone.. The failings last year were caused by a lot more than just runway usage. There weren't accidents but it wasn't safe and with forced compression of...
Option 1, no one will be looking inside their cockpit because it's way too cluttered--basically you seem to believe that people who have purchased ADSB are complete buttheads and don't have the...
The logic would be for 2 procedures, one with ADSB out and one without it to hopefully 2 different runways. This is not meant for personal adsb use as our screens will be too cluttered and we should...
IMO the ADSB out requirement is a good thing and should be required 100% of the time for normal procedures and an additional procedure established for non equipped. Controllers won't waste time with...
Does anyone know approximately what date that the electric sites were all booked? It would be nice to have an idea for next year as to how long you can wait (save money for time you're not actually...
Been going to both for years, Oshkosh is a class act and well managed. Only downside to me for airventure is the lack of normal hotels coupled with occasional excessively hot weather. Been there...
Good points---better to suggest fixes than just gripe
Possible solutions to some of the issues raised:
* Golf Carts--draw narrow lanes clearly labeled for Golf Carts and enforce that they remain in the lanes. If walkers elect to walk in the lanes...
Just adding a couple of thoughts:
1) BA and T-Birds have not been consistent with their practice times at all at Sun-N-Fun. Wonder how that will work at Oshkosh with resi and business closings as...
EAA is probably paying for some of the fuel. The manual states that Fuel must be provided and they will only reimburse the DOD contract amount (believe it's $3.73 for JP8), EAA would be responsible...
The demonstration teams pretty much drive the rules. Here's a copy of the T-Birds requirements. Page 26 gives the space requirements. It's interesting to read all of the required support and how much...
The military teams have caused great damage at Sun N Fun. The strong base of hardcore attendees have diminished due to lengthy and ever changing access restrictions. Additionally, it's absurd to move...
It's a beauty but it seems to be in endless development along the lines of Terrafuga, Elio and string theory.
One consideration missing is the amount of re-registrations which are NOT flyable. The average ramp queen that hasn't flown in years will still probably go through the reregistration process...
Frank, the Nall report over inflates the numbers of certified aircraft by taking hours flown response data from pilots in their surveys and applying that average to every registered certificated...
Ron, both you and I are of the opinion that the FAA has shortchanged experimental aircraft via overinflation of certified stats (hours and aircraft) while underinflating those of experimentals....
And Mac is welcome to his opinion and there's no way to prove his side either. It might be best to stick to facts when writing about Experimental aircraft (of which he has little experience) in an...
Mac has a current article in this months Sport Aviation titled "En Route Risks". He states that E-AB aircraft are under represented in fatal weather accidents. He then goes on to express his "obvious...
Careful...the FAA will probably want to charge us for listening:)
It's understandable that the "personal" reasons rationale be used to reduce divisiveness BUT if you can't plan ahead and manage your family how the heck do you plan ahead and manage a large...
Most folks are loathe to do this BUT I put a piece of velcro on the back of my 4S and I stick it to the panel. I also have a flat mount with velcro on my motorcycle. It really makes life easy, just...
