>In other news, an aviation accident occured yesterday in which a small helicopter crashed into the side of a mountain after a catastrophic failure. Air Traffic Control lost contact with the pilot at roughly 3:30 PM, and radar reports show the aircraft rapidly descending. Investigators on the scene found the rotor assembly had ripped completely apart, and some noticed what appeared to be a deer whistle where the nuts that held the rotor to its mast were supposed to be. The pilot has no next of kin aside from his parents, though he did have a rather sweet gaming rig and a very respectable DVD collection.

Did some bad judgement calls today. And that is not acceptable in aviation...

I need a vacation, I will really work myself to an early grave....

It involved sunset and flying the plane back to homebase at 90% power.

Also I dreamt of flying last night, I had my own plane, and flew to several coastal airfields, stopping for a coffee, generally pretty nice dream. I want to realize that dream.

I hope to have a pure electric or at least hybrid electric airplane, in the foreseeable future, for shorter hops to airfields, along with solar collectors on my house.

I'm going to guess what you did...

Miss something in a pre-flight? Hot-start a turbine? Take a short, crappy base-to-final and go bouncing? Approach too shallow? Didn't bring the oxygen? Near miss? Low rotor RPM? Too fast in an autorotation? Settled with power? Areodynamic stall? Flat spin? Flew an ultralight into controlled airspace without prior permission? Married an air traffic controller?

Pure electric is something of a pipe-dream right now, though Airbus has been trying to make something viable.

It has extremely limited range, but it's a step in the right direction

>Miss something in a pre-flight
Oh boy, that point when you've been airborne for 30 minutes and realize you never checked the fuel for water/other shit..
>Near miss
Twice. The closer one (50ft lateral, 0 vertical) was on my private flight test. Still passed.

I wouldn't trade it for anything though. I'm not at home without a yoke in hand.

As for the miami center, I didn't know that they did that below 3000, good to know

Could be a good idea to listen to a local airport so you get used to the various personalities you'll be dealing with. There's a Russian chick at KSFB, she's learning and not very good. There's a guy who handles north Orlando approach on 135.3 after 10pm, he's the most friendly guy ever. There's a bitch on 119.4, west side at around 4pm, total cunt, will yell at the aisians and new students. And then there's the guys at. KMCO, ALL total bro-tier controllers, they'll help you if you need it and if you don't, they'll treat you like an adult. The only thing about listening to Orlando chatter is trying to understand all the gooks, chinks, and zipper heads.
