Love that Piper Comment, been around as long as the Cub itself?? -
ASAPossible has a much higher urgency attached to it where as ASAPracticable means just that, as far as practicable taking into all other considerations including the commercial aspect of the operation.

HF was one of my pet hates during flying, the days wasted in class rooms filled with 'feet putting to sleep stuff' I'll never get back! -
NO rules 'should' be broken regardless!

Engine manufacturers had to draw a line in the sand somewhere regarding an over temp. Engines don't just blow up 1 deg over the manufacturers set limit, turbine engines are actually very robust but it's the longevity that comes into question if multiple exceedences have occurred.

You don't have to maintain any set Alt VFR due WX or terrain.

Watched a Caribou Taxi in many years ago next to where I was parked at a small drome thinking WTF he'll corner himself for sure and jam me in too! The noise was deafening! Then I noticed the rear ramp come down and a Aileen looking guy walked down the ramp tethered to the plane via his helmet (reminded me of "Close encounters of the third kind") and the big lumbering noisy bird backed up right into a tight spot! Never seen that, well I had done it a few times in the plane I was driving but that Caribou looked so ugly cumbersome!? -

You must have used up all the film in yr camera with that marathon trip? I've only done short trips over the last few weeks, too cold after a while although today was a little warmer but bumpy.

Yes a contradiction in terms to me sure!!

This says it all! Always liked the Lancair for style but not wirh a tip up canopy and the 3rd wheel at the wrong end. I prefer a slider for cool factor and survivability although obvioisly not guaranteed.
