Yeah, sorry for the spelling police ;^)

Flare vs Flair
Brake vs Break
(etc.)

The nuns beat it into me a long time ago - spelling is improtent!

I see what you did there.....hopefully "tongue in cheek"..........

As I stated before, it is GOOD to push the envelope at the home field on a normal day......never know when you need to really push it in a real situation.
In my previous post here, full flaps was hard on the flap seals, so I didn't do it many times since I was part of the, "fix the seals" crew. If you needed it, use it, otherwise, practice was fine unless you wanted to fix the seals.....

Yup, medical attention will be there quicker,
and there's more help to stuff the pieces back in the trailer...

OK, I chewed on this for a day.
My normal, "sanity checks before I reply" were not available.

My original comment was towards, "pushing the POH limits".
Nothing more, nothing less.

If you misread my post, fine. Do you change your reply?

If not........do you propose peeps, "landing wherever on the local field, have others push it back" and then "hope" they don't break stuff when under stress and landing off field?

I am good for training for the worst, hoping you don't need it.
Your reply (maybe out of context?.......giving you an out here dude.......) is just do whatever, good luck when your butt is pinched up.
Yes, I have misread a landing site, dealt with it, didn't break anything.

I wanted to argue about some electrical stuff, but let it lay.
I am not backing off this, unless, you misread my "intention" in this thread.

Ball in your court.

Popcorn........

[waiting for the calls or emails saying I should let this die.......]......,

I understood his message to be to learn the limits and know what you can do before doing it in a strange field. Seems like a good idea to me.

The nuns beat it into me too but I am old and my brane (see what I did there?) has shrunk to the size of a walnut.

Hmmm.... I thought it was, "Bad spellers untie".

For yours it should be, "etinu"
