So you’re a CFI/CFII and ATP and you’re doing a rolling run-up, lots of time with your eyes inside the cockpit during taxi, you’re heads down on your laptop in Cruise? Matt I’ve trained pilots in single pilot jets for several years. You either need to hire a pilot or rethink what you’re doing while operating an airplane. You make great videos and I would love to see you continue to do that for many decades to come. I’m just trying to speak up when I see bad habits. I’ve lost too many friends and acquaintances to accidents.

He stated and I quote " Density altitude only matters in the mountains". I had to explain my reasoning behind the question and he stuck to his thoughts it only matters in the mountains.

Id encourage you to file an ASRS report if you remember the date and time of the call. Audio recordings are typically deleted after about 2 months, but with pilot feedback perhaps there can be recurrent training developed for those specialists to address these sorts of issues.

NOAA appears to be considerably more efficient. I get from them a notification to re-register my hiking PLB every two years like clockwork, and every five years they send me the notice that I need to send it out for battery replacement and pressure testing. It's a device that's designed to do exactly one thing well. It has a strobe, a 121.5/243.0 MHz beacon, and a 406 MHz channel to a low-orbit satellite constellation. the 406 MHz pings are a full 5 W, so they can get out from under the tree cover. They include the GPS location if the device has coverage, but the satellites can also get a pretty good fix by Doppler analysis of the received signal from the beacon. If I ever need to light it, I figure I'm likely done for anyway - I go pretty deep into the back country, and about a third of my trips are off-trail. But it will make life a lot easier and safer for searchers. I know they're coming for me if I go missing, and I've no way to wave them off, so I owe them at least that. (Search is the difficult, dangerous, and expensive part of Search and Rescue.)

@mattguthmiller

5 ай бұрын

The problem with relying solely on that though is the capability to reach those satellites behind a mountain, etc., after the fact.

@ke9tv

5 ай бұрын

@mattguthmiller sure. I hike among mountains, of course. The low-orbit satellites have much less of an issue. Basically, if you can see any sky at all, you're likely to be able to punch a signal through. Sure, it's a possibility that it won't work. But a "better" system is a lot more weight in my backpack, especially considering the limited battery life of the always-tracking systems. I used one a few years back on a 220 km solo trip through the Adirondacks and decided the additional security wasn't worth the weight. Of course, on an aircraft, you can haul more and generally have an alternator available to power it, so the tradeoff is different. NOAA still seems to be more efficient than the FAA about such things.

Not sure about the numbers, but the privatization of FSS - at least in my opinion - was a mistake. Like you mentioned, I’ve self-briefed since the changeover, which means I have some blind spots compared to what I had before the change.

Leidos is honestly the biggest pain in the ass to work with. Wish FSS would’ve stayed with the FAA.

So, how much does it cost you to pack a backup GPS locator and roll it into a sleeping bag? Weighs what, a pound and a half, and you can pack it into a space smaller than your laptop bag. Assuming you're actually capable of surviving the crash in the first place, you'll need that sleeping bag, so now you have a way to stay warm while you wait for rescue. Unroll the sleeping bag, connect locator to battery, and then let it connect to the internet with Starlink and send an e-mail with your GPS coordinates to someone who cares about you. Pack a lunch and a deck of cards in there while you're at it. The days when you're going to be lost for a month and a half are over. The only way the GPS locator won't survive the crash is if you don't, and by a factor of ten or so.

Thank you Matt!!!
