Pilotcast #086 - Swapping Sign Offs

We know this is a bit old, but still good stuff. In fact, this video has been published on the web for some time...just not in the feed. Considering the news in the next paragraph below, we decided to publish it now.  Besides, it's been a while for a Vidcast. At EAA Airventure 2010, Tiff and Bill caught up with Mikey McBryan from the Ice Pilots NWT Canadian TV show for a little goofing off...and an interview. More information about Ice Pilots NWT can be found on the show website: http://www.icepilots.com/
The great news is that National Geographic is now carrying the first season of this show in the US. You can find more information about that here: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/ice-pilots/all/Overview We asked Mikey about this back in July and he said they were working on getting it to the US; looks like they finally succeeded.
Certainly take a look at this show if you get a chance, it's pretty fun to watch...probably even for non aviation nuts...but we wouldn't know anything about that.
This video was shot at EAA Airventure 2010 in Oshkosh, WI. We shot the interview, as described in the video, in one of Buffalo Airways' DC-3s. Enjoy.

The Efficiency Guage! It's once again time for the Pilotcast with your hosts Pilot Tiffany, Pilot Kent, and Pilot Bill.  In this episode we'll talk about the efficiency guage.  Don't have one of those in your airplane?  You'll wish you had one; imagine 140 knots on 9 gallons per hour.  We'll tell you how it's done.  Then we'll talk about restoring really cool old warbirds.  What's not to like?  Come in from that cold ramp, pull a chair up around this toasty warm radial engine, and let's get ready for some pilot talk. 
Don't forget to check out Scheyden Eyewear, the absolute best in the business, especially for aviators.  Use our discount code PCAST30 for 30% off an already great value!
Also, the Pilotcast flight crew all use Lightspeed Zulu headsets, and we think you should, too.  Don't forget to choose an aviation charity for Lightspeed to donate $50 of your Zulu purchase price to.  See more about this at the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation website.

When do you need to pre-heat?

Is multi-weight oil less of a problem?

Which kind of preheat system is best?

What's the biggest mistake pilots make with their engines?

How long should you warm up the engine?

Why should we lean the mixture on the ground?

What about diesel engines?

Getting oil from coal.  America has great resources.

When do you need to overhaul the engine?

Can you run the engine past TBO?

The problem with vibration. More than the passengers are bothered by vibration.

Those old radial engines heavily consume fuel and oil.  That's why war birds cost so much to fly.

The best ways to preheat.

Heat the cabin, too.

How long to heat.

Clean the ice and snow from the wings.  A tip on how to keep your wings clean.

Winterization plates and other ways to block the oil cooler.

Run the engine long enough to remove water from the oil

How to tell of there's still moisture in the oil.

How to check for a sign of engine corrosion.

Kent's recent  problems getting his cold Cessna 182 to run smoothly.

A technique for cold starts using the primer.

Proper technique for priming the engine.

"Never take your hand off the throttle?"  Oh yeah?





In the news:

The Southwest 737 runway overrun at Midway.

 How the autobrakes (antiskid) works
Landlocked airports
A bit more doubletalk from the City of Chicago


The crash of the Grumman Mallard in Miami.

 NTSB reports the wing spar had cracks.
The PT6 turbine conversion.
Tom:  Cracks don't necessarily mean an aircraft is not airworthy.


A Beech accident in Connecticut. A 78 year old pilot survives an emergency landing in trees.





An update on the flight status of one Mr. Claus.

Coming on the Pilotcast: What Dan learned about the tax status of airplane clubs.

An update from Kent on his club's search for a new plane.

Paraplegic and quadroplegic students
Visually impaired
Dyslexia
ADD
Other learning disabilities


Sending the student on the Sport Pilot checkride
What kind of help can the challenged student get?
Will the FAA want the student demonstrate any special tasks (like escaping the airpla ne) or have specific requiremets? 
How should the CFI evaluate a challenged student?
