Checklist 101 (was How Low to Spin?? by stephanevdv
About the correct order of actions in a checklist: what about putting in last what you actually want to do last? When I first learned to soar, one of the first items in the oral checklist was: canopy closed and locked. I promptly inverted that with the last item (it was the same initial K in...

Long, OT, and something for the conservatives by [email protected]
This is posted to the three groups I normally subscribe to, and decidedly off topic in any of them. However: My daughter just came home, a week ago from a two month stay in the hospital. She now has a tracheostomy, and has, in her room, an oxygen concentrator and nebulizer that she is hooked to,...

Anyone know where to get a good eye ball vent for the instrument panel? I found a couple at aircraft spruce but they are the type that you need to manually flip the butterfly plate inside instead of rotating the outer knob to open and close the vent.
