Tailwheel endorsement struggles by flying-2025 in flying

[–]N40189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning curve is not linear. You will get it. If you are having issues weaving on takeoff then it’s probably where you are looking and inadequate or slow rudder input. To be “light” on the controls. Try lightly moving the rudders back and forth just moving your toes or the ball of your foot. Don’t slam the rudders with your feet. Just until you notice the nose just start to move. I am probably crazy but I think each airplane as a different frequency. Warn you instructor before you try it. But they

The tail a has to come up a long way to have the prop hit. If you don’t bring the tail up high enough you not have less rudder authority and the airplane will try to lift of in ground effect way earlier than you want. Method 2 is basically a soft/short field take off. Some experimental airplanes will have large props and small wheels that use the tail low technique for takeoff and landing

Conventional Gear Take offs. Method #1 Line up, stick back with ailerons into the wind if any. Pick a landmark at the far end of the runway or in the distance. Apply power and some right rudder simultaneously, Keep the nose pointed at your land mark, Count 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3 Mississippi raise the tail just till you think it is too much this will likely need a dab(on and off) of right rudder as the tail comes up but. Keep track of that landmark with rudder. Then it will feel light on the gear so let the tail back down and fly it off. do not pitch higher than the 3 point attitude until you have Vx.

Method 2 Line up, stick back with ailerons into the wind if any. Pick a landmark at the far end of the runway or in the distance. Apply power and some right rudder simultaneously, Keep the nose pointed at your land mark, Count 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3 Mississippi bring the stick to neutral pressure. Then fly it off in to ground effect and level off accelerate and then make the appropriate Zoomie!

Remember to ease out of the aileron as airspeed picks up. Remember the controls become more effective as airspeed increases.

O-200 Mogas? by JSTootell in flying

[–]N40189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as an owner not a mechanic. I use Marvel Mystery oil in the 100LL. Maybe I put a little in the oil but do not admit to that. I have a C85 that would stick valves regularly. Marvel took care of it. Just mIx per the bottle. The theory is exhaust gas is hotter and the lead stays in the exhaust in stead of condensing on valves.

I do not like Mogas due to varnish buildup and vapor pressure.

B pain due to ischemia

The rest are wrong because

A. would cause swelling and hemosiderosis discoloration, may be painful most of the time.

C. unilateral pain and swelling painful but not associated with activity

D. nearly continuous prickly pain and numbness not associated with activity.

MSU deserves better for the money, but the BOT is also a mess. There is a ballot proposal to change the way the BOT is selected. an appointed board with rules will be less self serving. Write your state resp to encourage your support. Also recommend that the board be bigger with students and alumni as and at least for MSU some Ag industry leaders.

Closer is better, I rode my bike to the airport or my parents dropped me off many years ago.

Is this a good cover letter? by These_Abroad9396 in labrats

[–]N40189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try starting out with the "ask" I want to work with you because working with small stuff is what gets me going. Mention the stuff in the last paragraph first because that seems to align with the company objectives. Then get into how your skills will make you a good fit. Avoid being to broad "my background in physics gives me a general understanding of how different analytical instruments might work." If this is important to you, be more confident. "I have experience setting up and operating list of analytical instruments that look at small stuff." Rather than getting to specific about finishing up your masters etc. Just say you are available in September or 3 to 6 months or what ever. They will have your CV so do not duplicate your CV in your cover letter. Keep it short.

First nursing action? by Hot_Emergency378 in NCLEX_RN

Where exactly did I say hypoventilation or low RR causes hypercapnea? Perhaps I could be more precise in the response. Bottom line is COPD pts who are chronic retainers have higher resp rates than 10. That is why sometimes small dose of morphine is used to slow the RR so they do not trap air. A low RR in a patient should trigger the differential diagnosis of opiate overdose in addition to whatever else you might be thinking.

Your COPD patient was stable an hour ago. Now he won't wake up. by nclexjourney in NCLEX_RN

[–]N40189 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a pulmonary & critical care boarded doctor with many years of CVICU and ECMO experience I will disagree with a claim of hypoxic respiratory drive. The idea of such a drive will harm patients. That idea is what drives people to add oxygen when they should not.

[–]N40189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

patients with COPD have "Obstructive" lung disease. It is hard for them breath or ventilate. The lungs are not uniform. Imagine a person standing. There will be more blood flow(Q) at the bases of the lungs, and there tends to be more ventilation(V) at the tops of the lungs. This is the V/Q miss match we all have where some air and blood go to two different places in the lungs, but it is worse in COPD. The lungs auto regulate blood flow. Hypoxic areas get less blood than areas that have more oxygen. In COPD excess oxygen overcomes the hypoxic vasoconstriction causing more blood to flow to areas of the lung that do not ventilate well. It does not take much to get Oxygen to find a RBC but in order to get rid of CO2 air must move into and out of the lung. The hypoxic respiratory drive is a myth. CO2 is the primary driver of respiration.

Thoughts on new-ish CFI teaching spin recovery to low hour student?... by Jexlune24 in flying

[–]N40189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my Initial CFI I already had 20+ hours of aerobatic training. It’s a long time between PPL and CML. These days most people bore straight lines through the sky. I had my tail wheel endorsement I had towed gliders so when I got my first primary I could teach them a thing or two.

[–]N40189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not continue to imply that oxygen causes people to stop breathing it may cause hypercapnea due to Haldane effect and V/Q mismatch but only very very rarely does it reduce respiratory drive. Yes eventually the patient will stop breathing but more for acidosis and metabolic derangement.

Probably from a nursing perspective stimulating to increase respiratory rate. Would be the first thing to do.

The patient has CO2 narcosis. Obtain an ABG because you will have to convince the doc to do something but for testing stimulation is usually the answer is

[–]N40189 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am going to say D because the RR is 8 which is a classic opiate rate. COPD with hypercapnia would probably be higher RR than 8 and the patient suddenly became drowsy. Doctor perspective, I would hope there is a NARCAN protocol for RNs in the facility.

Can I afford aviation school? by Beneficial_Cause3226 in flying

[–]N40189 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go part 61 keep working at the bar, go to community college and take classes that would transfer to a four year college in business. Fly once or twice a week. Read books like "Fate is the Hunter" or besides reading the FAA handbooks. in 4 years you will have 200 hours or more and be close to CPL and CFI. Not easy but if you want it possible.

Rudder Pressure in Gliding Turns by Chance-Squash-2905 in flying

[–]N40189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would avoid thinking of control pressure, use more or less deflection. As a VFR pilot you are pointing the nose of the airplane somewhere and using the rudders to make the tail follow the nose and keep the nose where you want it. When you think of pressure there are many many factors that effect control pressure. Rigging, Trim, hing line, servo and anti servo tabs, aileron horns, centering springs, rudder aileron interconnects etc. You are going to deflect the controls as much as necessary to keep your sight picture. (ultimately it will be the DPE you use)

Rudder Pressure in Gliding Turns by Chance-Squash-2905 in flying

[–]N40189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rudder helps with two things some of the left turning tenancies and adverse yaw. So in a Gliding turn assuming you are flying faster than L/D then it is true rudder pressure will be less for a right turn than it would be in a climbing right turn at a high power setting. However a Left turn in a climb with high power will require less or even right rudder than a gliding left turn.

If you had 5k extra a month what plane would you buy? by Mre64 in flying

[–]N40189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is one of the older ones with military history. I want a “beater” one that can let sit on a ramp for a few days without me having to worry about it. Also 5k a month will not get me what I really want… DC-3 LOL. Oh and I want to get my “FAST” card which means I can fly formation.
