I do not know about you, but given a choice between riding in an airplane piloted by a certificated pilot who has an incorrect grasp of aerodynamics and an aerodynamics engineer who has no piloting experience, I'd go with the certificated pilot. ;-) When choosing an aircraft, however, I'd go with the aircraft designed by an engineer, rather than one designed by a pilot. |

He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute
every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just about everybody. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" "gatt" wrote in message . ..

Sometimes you have to speak their language. My purpose wasn't to entertain people. If you want, however, I'll tell you some knock-knock jokes. I'm sure everybody appreciates your encouragement of his behavior, by the way. Nice job, Ash. I find it to be tremendously ironic that these recent monster threads revolving around MX have led me to killfile several people who respond to him but not to killfile him. That's your choice. Different people come to the forum for different reasons. I'm here to share my experience and learn from the experience of others, and I read a whole lot more than I post. If you get to the point where you're typing in all caps, or having to wave your certificates in his face, take a moment to step back and think about whether your reply adds any value to the group. He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just about everybody. I answered his question initially because the question had value to the student pilots in the student group. His utter nonsense that followed merely adds misinformation and, perhaps, satisfies your entertainment needs. As to whether "waving certificates" in people's faces adds value, it's not much different than sourcing an official or authoritative reference, is it? If we were talking about combat it would be relevant for the readers to understand that the people in the discussion are a video game geek versus a combat veteran. -c Arrogant Asshole |

He came out here, asked the pilots a question then proceeded to refute
every single thing they said. Not just me ASEL pilots like me, but just about everybody. On the contrary, MX started by posting that pilots cannot rely on physical sensations in instrument flight, and that the instruments must be your primary source of flight information. Dudley, myself, the FAA, and pretty much every source on the planet has agreed 100% with this statement, yet -- for reasons known only to y'all -- many posters here have now gone to incredible lengths to prove MX wrong. The argument has gone Clinton-esque, by nuancing the meaning of "sensation" down to the subtlest level. Now, of course, MX has gone off on a zillion tangents since then, and the signal/noise ratio here has gone back to unintelligible levels. I don't know what strange power MX wields over so many here, but it's creepy. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

His utter nonsense that followed merely adds misinformation and, perhaps, satisfies your entertainment needs. He's not worth it, my opinion. OK, let me put it another way. In the movie Jurassic Park, there's a scene where a researcher sticks her hand in a pile of dinosaur crap, digs around, and pulls out an undigested berry. I'm sure if I read more MX, I too might discover a berry, but to me, the price is too high. |
