Get the ATIS information 10 miles out from entry into the airspace, contact the control tower for that airport, and state the following:


"tower name, aircraft tail number, location, al***ude, Landing with information whatever "ATIS" code you received above." The tower will instruct you to take left (or right) traffic for Runway X and to report on 45.(This is a rough guideline, its missing some specific information that tower sometimes asks for)


Do your prelanding check with your checklist: Mixture full rich, Fuel selector on both, Suction indicating, Oil Temps. and Press. (Ts&Ps) in green, Master on, Mags on both, Harness' locked and latched, Landing lights on. PLANE CLEAR TO LAND
Apply Carb. Heat and make your descent to where you reach pattern al***ude for that airport by the time you reach the 45° entry leg. You can be a little higher on the 45. Let's ***ume the pattern al***ude is 1200 feet MSL. Try to descend at 500 fpm. That will be easier on your ear drums.
Reach the 45 and contact the tower and tell them how many miles you are out on the 45 and your al***ude. The tower might clear you to land or will acknowledge.
Remember that when you reach 1/4 mile from the runway, turn downwind. By now the tower should have cleared you to land. You should have slowed the plane to 80 to 85 knots and powered the engine to around 2000 rpms.
Know that when you are abeam the runway numbers, turn on your carburetor heat on,(unless power plant is injected as my 172XP has continental 6 in it) power back to 1500 rpms, and extend 10 degrees of flaps. Lower the nose to begin a 500 fpm descent The airspeed should drop to 75 knots. Make sure you coordinate your turns with the rudder pedals.
Learn that the threshold of the runway is 45° behind you, turn left base, and apply another 10 degrees of flaps. This should bring your airspeed down to 70 knots. You are now perpendicular to the runway. Make sure you don't overshoot your final turn because the parallel runway might have landing traffic.
Turn Final. While on final, your approach to be stabilized. Use power to control your al***ude, and pitch to control airspeed. Try to approach at 60 - 65 knots. When you are on short final, extend 10 more degrees of flaps, and aim the plane for the threshold. Do not let the plane go below 60 knots. Use the rudder pedals to keep the plane aligned with the runway center-line.
When you are a few feet off the ground, gently power back and raise the nose, and allow the wheels to settle onto the runway. Power back all the way, apply full back pressure on the yoke, and brake if necessary. The brakes are located above the rudder pedals. You are now on the ground.

this is drummed into your head durring taining..no getting it out

When you take Natural Gas and reduce it's pressure you lose 7 degrees F in temperature for every 100 psi you cut in pressure.

 

Rockwell hardness of Buick straight eight 263 rods is around 24-26 on the 1950 through mid 1952 motors, and the later ones, through 1953 Rockwell at about a 10. Same part number, but big difference is durability.

Never tell a woman she looks fat in a dress lol

 

"Towmotor" wow, I rebuild a continental flathead for one a few years back. Purred like a kitten, but the hydraulics would bleed down and the mast would tilt forward. Champion F9Y plugs for FE engines. the new superseded number is not the same, wind up pinging issues if they're used.

Also besides the towmotor, I worked on a Badger Dynamics Bucky forklift as well... had fun finding parts for it. No one else seem to remember it http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u154/mrpowderkeg/BadgerDynamicsBuckyForklift2.jpg

Gravity causes an accelleration rate of 32 feet per second per second for falling objects which is STILL faster than my flathead Merc.
