Windows that are thicker than standard are also heavier, which is likely why there’s an issue with the FAA.

Code 4, disregard my post – I have ‘particular’/thorough wrench and IA and that’s great – however, since I posted this, I’ve again realized, a tail boot for our OTW is rarely available. Although I do fly off grass, I just do a thorough pre-flight focused especially on the tail wheel area. It’s grear to have particular mechanics by the way!

Hi Ed,
I have a lot of IFR experience with military and airline flying but it is a bigger challenge with no autopiot or flight directer. I try to avoid actual weather approaches but practice one or two approaches on nearly every flight just in case I have to make one in actual weather. I approach the FAF at 120 mph and configure gear and flaps…[Read more]
