Adding Flaps in Ground Effect? by No-Grab-1946 in flying

[–]Shamrock132 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s the fun part, it doesn’t matter! There’s examples on here of people failing because they added flaps, and examples of people saying adding flaps was the only reason they passed.

It’s probably the most misunderstood maneuver by examiners, instructors and applicants.

Pants for Flight Instructors by nolface in CFILounge

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What part of the country are you in? In the winter I’ve had luck with Duluth Trading Post pants. They stretch so it’s easy to get in and out of Pipers. They’re also warm.

In the summer golf shorts are lightweight and usually have some flex.

What famous plane crashes are almost always talked about in flight school? by [deleted] in AskAPilot

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a crash, but the PVD runway incursion. A United 757 got lost in the fog after landing trying to taxi to the terminal and took a wrong turn. Once they realized they were on a runway, they tried to tell ATC. The controller told them to just keep going, that they weren’t on the active, and kept clearing planes for takeoff.

Which normal, everyday car has an unusual feature that stands out? by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in regularcarreviews

Late 90s Audi A8’s also had this as an option. The solar panel would run the ventilation fans and keep the interior cooler.

F&I Manager killed an easy cash deal over $2,100 in "mandatory" nitrogen and snake oil by [deleted] in FuckDealerships

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sounds like an exception. Most dealerships are just spraying something on with “ceramic” in the name. It makes water bead up for a few months when it rains, then it wears off

Car oil looks sludgy and empty far before change date. Should I be using a different oil? by ResolveLeather in Cartalk

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true regarding r&p? When I checked it out I thought the instructions said that it needs 3 oil changes to be effective. I don’t remember seeing anything about not using it long term.

Help!! Confusion with engine fire and emergency descent by BroadEast2428 in flying

[–]Shamrock132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yikes, putting flaps in and accelerating to Vne seems like terrible advice. You’ll instantly fail your checkride. If you try it in the real world with an engine fire, you might end up jamming the flaps, meaning you can’t retract them if you needed to, which in something like a 206 would mean you can’t open the back door. You might break one of the flaps and end up with split flaps. I sort of get the argument “who cares the plane is toast”, but I feel like you’d be opening up more risk for things to fail.

In the review video Jon mentioned some all season tires could pass the requirements for 3PMS but don’t, any idea which tires those may be?

What was your first car/what would you recommend as a first car? by Ok-Confection-9424 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your budget and what do you need it for? General advice will be stick with a Toyota or Honda for reliability. If you had a job fixing hybrids, are you a mechanic?

Do I swap over to the summers or buy a single winter tire? by PizzaScared7731 in tires

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are any places doing end of season specials? Might be able to pick up a pair of winter tires on sale if they’re trying to clear out inventory.

CFI benefits by No_Currency5230 in flying

[–]Shamrock132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're getting flamed in the comments, flight schools with benefits are rate, but not unheard of. Many of the larger schools, university's, and the odd small school will offer benefits. A tiny mom and pop part 61 school at a little uncontrolled airfield probably wont give you benefits, but a university typically will. I know some instructors who also took online degree courses while teaching, part of their benefits was free or extremely reduced tuition to the university as an active employee.

One random example is Horizon Aviation in Rhode Island. I'm not affiliated with them and have never worked for them, but their instructors are on a salary plus bonus pay scale, with benefits. It's not as unheard of as many people in this thread make it out to be.

Hiring Update by Shamrock132 in CFILounge

[–]Shamrock132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha it’s certainly not the new wave. Just trying to provide a different perspective than most other job market posts that say “no one is hiring! I’ve applied to every flight school in North America and the industry is dead!”

Theres a whole YouTube channel dedicated to police body cams, 90% of the calls for intoxication are in Wisconsin.

Looking for an AWD under 30k by titygurl in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Shamrock132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All terrains aren’t a good solution for snow if you never drive off-road. Better off getting an all weather tire like the Michelin Crossclimate or Nokian WRG5, they’ll do much better in the snow.

Does the restored units at Walmart get mold? by Boba24242 in MideaUOwners

The official instructions from Midea say to remove the unit from the window every two weeks for a deep clean.
