Propeller? Check! Rudder? Check! Gas In The Tank?
« on: May 30, 2009, 08:21:58 AM »
Ooops.  Grin

Pilot lesson No. 1: Check gas before taking off

Quote
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A retired Air Force colonel with decades of experience as a flight instructor gave one of his students a hands-on lesson in a key principle of flying: Don't run out of gas. Al Uhalt of Colorado Springs made a bumpy but safe landing in a field Thursday when the single-engine Aviat Husky he and a student were flying ran out of fuel near the end of a 45-minute lesson.

I've heard pilots actually cut fuel margins razor thin with some regularity.

Mr. Deutschendorf's plane had fuel, but it was in a second tank and the switch was in a 'Non Standard Location' that he apparently couldn't find in the unfamiliar aircraft. [/CliffClavinmode]

Yeah, but would stroh have given me a big cheesy grin if I'd written all that *feces*?

I live for stroh's big cheesy grin.
