Fluorescent = Tach Strobe - Pilots of America I'm getting ready to do an article about using fluorescent (sodium mercury vapor) lights as a tach check THere was a thread in here in late 2008 early 2009 about this very thing in which Gismo stated: RPM 2bladeImages 900 4 1200 3 1800 2 2400 3 RPM 3blade images 600 4 800 3
how do you remember cloud clearances for vfr - Pilots of America Personally I just stay out of the clouds with room to spare when VFR most everything else is just textbook exercises because, as someone else mentioned, there's no way to truly gauge distance accurately and, in some cases, optical illusions screw with our perspective
Dynamic Prop Balancing PIREP - Pilots of America The optical sensor on the Dynavibe allows one to check the accuracy of the mechanical tach - a side benefit of getting a "prop balance" If there is significant imbalance 0 25 and higher, balancing the prop can allow the engine to gain as much as a couple hundred more RPM since power is no longer being wasted in overcoming the drag of imbalance
F35 down and missing in SC | Page 6 | Pilots of America The money and human capital spent on the V-1, V-2, Me 262, Arado 236, Tiger and Panther tanks, artillery on railroad carriages that required four parallel sets of tracks, and other so called super weapons, could have been used to build thousands of Panzer Mk IV tanks and StuG III tank
F35 down and missing in SC | Page 5 | Pilots of America Years ago, I had a hand in the original development of the F35’s electro-optical targeting system I really enjoyed watching the F35s fly at SNF last week Always cool to see an idea become reality
Does anybody have the Garmin G1000 PC Trainer? - Pilots of America G1000 or G1000NXi? I don't know that the straight 1000 is available any more, I had it on CD or DVD (!) 12 years or so ago but not sure if I still have it anywhere since like most people my computer no longer has an optical drive It was buggy anyway If it's the NXi version you're looking for, $60 seems like a reasonable price assuming it's
American Optical vs Randolph engineering aviators Between American Optical and Randolph Engineering… which is generally considered better quality for the price? Been looking at aviators, polycarbonate but would like dark tint and understand that polycarbonate does not take tint very well unless it’s polycarbonate, then there’s the endless debate about affecting digital screens
NC numbers - Pilots of America Using electro-optical instruments or photometer card sets is an acceptable means of verifying reflectance but is not required to establish reflectance The FAA considers a 12-inch number legible if you can read it from 500 feet away, in a horizontal line, perpendicular to the side of the aircraft during daylight hours, without using an optical
EI R1 tach reading low, jumping around | Pilots of America This happened once before about 2-3 years ago and EI recalibrated the R1 I am getting an optical tester to verify rpm this week, but I suspect the R1 is just not accurate It gets data from the p-leads and the JPI uses some sort of magnet as I recall I see no indication that a mag is not always firing and the p-leads are missing some pulses
CFI Check Ride - What is it? | Pilots of America Don't see that there is an ACS for CFI check ride The best I can discern is that it is essentially a Commercial check ride from the right seat, combined with demonstrating that you can teach The oral part would demonstrate your lesson plan and teaching knowledge in addition to the
