Re: Altitude Reference: Stratus 2 WAAS or Altimeter?
ATC would say "fly heading xxx" 8) ATC expects you to fly the heading they assign, they are correcting for winds. Charlie, I apologize for commenting on your post. It was kinda tongue in cheek about you swinging the nose of your CT around to match heading and track. And as pointed out by ...

Re: Altitude Reference: Stratus 2 WAAS or Altimeter?
When there is no wind, both Track and Heading will be the same. My CT can't be bothered keeping its nose in the wind. When I focus I focus on matching track and bearing. You can swing your nose left or right, changing your heading while maintaining your track. The same tendency to fly happily while...

Re: "Stick and Rudder Moments"
Looks like it did levitate for a short time, but the "up" elevator caused the nose to come up exposing the large surface area of the belly to the wind, and away she went. I think the elevator position was due to the stick being tied back. Had it been neutral ... ?

Re: Aerotrek A220/240... thoughts?
I can tell you from my limited experience with Rob Rollison that the "one-armed paper hanger" is an understatement. He is a very very intense individual that can get on a persons nerves pretty easily, but seems to take good care of his customers. After receiving the planes from the manufac...

Re: "Weathervaning" AFTER takeoff
Wouldn't different surface areas of the fuselage be a factor? I would think since the vertical stabilizer/rudder have more area exposed to a crosswind, they would be affected more. If not, then let's double their size (area) on the same fuselage. Still won't weathervane?

Re: Rotax questions...a few more!
Hi Paul, You should try a different instructor. Try Ronnie Smith down in Mississippi. Won't hurt and he may put a different slant on some things. There has to be someone to take a shot at this question. Who can tell us what the proper restrictor size is for the recirculation line? Look in the Insta...

Re: 3000 feet AGL
I'm not arguing or trying to stretch the FAR's. I think it's just one of those "technicalities" and there's very little concern for this in most of the eastern states. However, as has been mentioned, it's quite a roller coaster to comply with in lots of areas and really isnt relative at al...

Re: 3000 feet AGL
And, as you're flying along, particularly in the western states, do you keep tabs on the ground elevation so you know you're less than 3000 feet?

3000 feet AGL
We're told that ... "each person operating an aircraft under VFR in level cruising flight more than 3000 feet above the surface shall maintain the appropriate altitude "... I can't find where this has been hashed around before, so here's my question. 3000 feet above which surface? The surf...
