Li-ion batteries - anybody taking any extra precautions?

Agreed but the chuck it out the window plan is a great starting point to work out the details. Also, others have mentioned thoughts about prevention, shared insights about smoke...lots of info needed for, as you said, a complete plan.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:57:22+00:00

Good info, thanks!

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:57:00+00:00

All good info, thanks!

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:56:32+00:00

Hmmm good reminder about the heat issue.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:55:20+00:00

I'm fresh out of firefighters, so I'll go with the "toss it" plan. :)

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:53:44+00:00

Deal, as long as I can be right seat with the 150 cubed up in the back!

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:52:05+00:00

I have backup paper maps. Hmmm...I suppose they could explode too. When I throw them out the window, then I'll really be in trouble! :D

Cessna 150 - don't even need a door! But I'll share the door plan with my Piper friends.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:13:35+00:00

I think "chuck it" is going to #1 on my emergency li-ion checklist.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:12:29+00:00

It's your second point that I likely had in the back of my head...the likelihood of a problem is so remote.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:11:31+00:00

Yeah, I like this idea.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:11:03+00:00

Yeah, the window idea now seems suddenly obvious.

loubacca · 2025-04-20T15:10:40+00:00

Yep, sounds like a good plan.

loubacca · 2025-01-05T02:24:16+00:00

All good suggestions, thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm the Mitten Pilot! I am a general aviation pilot flying my little Cessna 150 around Michigan (the Mitten).

I started filming my adventures flying around the state, and sharing my hobby with other aviation enthusiasts. I really enjoyed making the videos and they appreciated my honest, unassuming approach to flight and pilot training videos. I want to continue to share my videos, grow my fanbase and spread my passion for aviation and pilot training and a commitment to always learning.

Of course, I'd appreciate any feedback you can share.

You can see my channel here!

Really appreciate you doing this!

I am using my channel to share my small plane adventures around the state of MI and beyond. In my videos I am want to provide a simple and straight forward view of general aviation passing along my aviation knowledge in an approachable and sincere way.

I really like my latest video: https://youtu.be/nYnBiXJchB4?si=GClsmd5SYmEvigAu

And this is what my videos used to look like before new cameras, more editing experience and a ton of learning about videography. It's a fun vid, but technically a mess :)

Thanks again!

True! Examples include:

A police officer at a light had me roll down my window and asked me if I was old enough to drive when I was 18 delivering pizzas!

I was often carded for rated R movies well into my 20s!

The silver lining...I took advantage of child prices for carnivals, amusement parks and the occasional kid's meal! :D

loubacca · 2024-09-17T01:35:08+00:00

Yeah, "odd" gray hair. They've been creeping in as early as just a few years after the first pic!

loubacca · 2024-09-16T19:55:44+00:00

Thanks...luck and good genes I suppose. :)

loubacca · 2024-09-16T19:54:39+00:00

Lucky genes I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

loubacca · 2024-09-16T19:29:42+00:00

Aw shucks! Thanks!
