Here's an article extolling a few of the problems of airparks. Note
the one extraneous activities on the runways.

Apparently, your "experience" doesn't involve flying into airports located
in rural areas. There are all kinds of "extraneous activities on the
runways", mostly non-human. A pilot knows how to deal with these
situations appropriately, minimizing the risks.

Actually, 50% does including such glorified areas as Fayette AL,
LewisburgTN, Senatobia MS Ballground GA and more Podunk towns in AK than
I can remember.

Cows, deer (by the dozens), infants...the whole scheebang. You look at
this as acceptable challenges, I look at this as exceptional
liabilities. Same view, two different eyes.

Then you need to give up the idea of flying now. Don't waste any more of
your time.

Airparks aren't the only place where animals get on the runway and I've
seen deer on a Class C airport's runway and the only reason I haven't
seen them on a Class B is that I don't fly into them that often.

WOW!

Go away, Bob.

Ah what's the matter, you don't like people posting your own crap for
everyone to see what a bunch of lies you are trying to put over on
them? Sorry but I don't have any intention of going away. I might
however repost some of your other lies for everyone to see.

Neil,

His experience doesn't involve flying into anywhere. He nothing more
than a wannabe pilot and based on some of his posts in other threads,
I am not sure he even is a wannabe. I reposted a couple of his posts
from other threads and it proves that he is not a pilot and from what
I can gather as of Feb.28, he hasn't even started with any flight
training.

He is not a pilot and probably never will be.

Are you getting paid to promote this site? You've posted this thing
about 5 times now.

How in the world do you get off the ground without flying over one or
more of these liabilities?

I smell a red herring...

All it takes is a little collar on the pitot tube (and a bit of tweaking
the position)

That is how we calibrate the airspeed indicator to get it reading with
reasonable accuracy. Old CG himself taught me that one. :-)

Of course, nowadays, you have to tweak the GPS also!


Anybody have photos of such a collar? Or able to give a good description?

Put an o-ring over the static tube. Adjust its distance from the static
holes in the side of the tube to adjust the static pressure reference for
your airspeed indicator. It also adjusts the static pressure reference for
the altimeter, which usually uses the same static port.

It doesn't work for the new airplanes th at pick up their static pressure
through a port on the side of the fuselage. :-)

Not to mention all those pesky birds that we are forced to share the
sky with. I had an much too close encounter with a buzzard in a 172
once. It resulted in replacing one wing and a soiled seat(g). I have
photos of a twin that was struck in the windshield and tore a two foot
wide section out of the fuselage almost the length of the cabin. If
