Please check the latest FAA Advisory Circular for non-towered airports. You really shouldn't be doing a straight-in approach. It's dangerous and greatly increases the risk of mid-air collisions: "Further, to mitigate the risk of a midair collision at a non-towered airport in other than instrument conditions, the FAA does not recommend that the pilot execute a straight-in approach for landing when there are other aircraft in the traffic pattern. The straight-in approach may cause a conflict with aircraft in the traffic pattern and on base to final and increase the risk of a midair collision.” And of course you can never be sure a traffic pattern is empty if you are not at the field because NORDO is legal at CTAF airports.

I thought a five mile final was a bit extreme as well, and I haven't flown in 20 years. No tower, use the pattern.

My now 6 year old cousin was born with a disease called pompe disease. So rare that only 2 people in all of oregon(my home state) have it. I did a google search on it a while back and very few cases live past 21. He’s very strong and we pray for him often. One side effect that has affected him, is that his brain was starved of oxygen multiple times, so he may never age past 5 mentally😢. He has the best parents and they are doing everything they can. We need more people like them in this world. Glad to see you got that plane in working condition again. Your work amazes me. Keep it up

My wife had breast cancer, she went through all the surgeries and treatments and was declared Cancer free. In 2015 we discovered it had metastasized into her bones and was inoperable. She fought like a trooper for nearly 4 years and we lost her in Jan of 2019. The hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life was telling my 7 year old daughter that her mom was going to die. Now Nick has passed that great milestone I hope things all go well from here and he comes out the other side whole and healthy. I'm always glad to hear about people beating cancer but when I do I hope in the back of my mind that it doesn't throw them a sucker punch like it did my wife.

Congratulatins on getting the Toga airworthy. It shows that good hard works really pays off in the end. A friend of mine owns a Saratoga II. His name is Walt and we named his Saratoga "Walt's Toga Party," and the name stuck. Spent many hours wrenching on this plane. Seeing you guys working on your Saratoga brought back many memories. I think you will be very pleased with the Saratoga. It a very nice cross country aircraft. I'm glad the fellow you were honoring on this episode, Nick, had rang the bell and beat his cancer diagnosis. I have lost several family members to this terrible disease. Just glad cancer centers such as the James Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio are always discovering new treatments and possible cures for cancer.

My parents flew a Turbo Saratoga SP and I was lucky enough to go along on some trips as a kid. Great aircraft that flew cross country any number of times and just smooth and reliable and comfortable. And fast. Dad liked it cause it was fast. Mom liked it cause she could get up above the weather. They considered going twin a lot and ultimately always decided to stick with the Saratoga based on the speed/efficiency/cost of operation.

I have a 78 Lance with the same TIO-540-S1AD engine. The wastegate is linked to the throttle (kinda like how a Cirrus' prop control is mechanically linked) so you need to feather it up to 36" manifold at takeoff. A good tip is to throttle to the fuel flow you usually get at 35" (which responds quickler than manifold) then nudge to 36" on the roll.
@tallishyeti2756 Жыл бұрын
Came down here to say this. It’s pretty rare to actually go full throttle on takeoff in a turbocharged bird.
@JimBronson Жыл бұрын
Wow that's crazy to a person who's worked on automotive turbo applications. The wastegate is linked to the map sensor in our case. You want 10 lbs boost, put it in the tune and the computer will command it accordingly. But I guess airplanes are different. For one thing it seems like they are way more analog.
@hockeytops Жыл бұрын
@@JimBronson yea modern turbo aircraft engines have introduced wastegate controllers that use a mechanical computer and oil pressure "signalling" to automatically close and open the wategate more effectively (and you can just put in full throttle like a car). The S1AD setup is a strange middle point where they experimented with different ideas.

She got a week of beach time but quickly turned for the worse. It was very hard unpleasant. It seems started in her gut worked around her lungs and heart then moved up to her brain stem. Exactly the way Steve McQueen went out. It was hard, especially since I had lost my husband of 27 years a few weeks before to heart failure.

I’m curious about SEP aircraft and power output. If you take the Warrior II and Archer II the Archer has a bigger engine, flies faster and takes more weight for basically the same airframe. Clearly a bigger engine produces more mower. Yet it still turns at same rpm to a prop. Is it that a more powerful engine is used to turn a bigger prop hence more thrust or is there another reason? Thank you from U.K. Safe skies everyone 😁✈️
