Hi a recent landing at Antigua in a 777 was very hard, and the pilot applied
the brakes really heavily, probaly in my assumption, because of the short
runway and a slight overshoot of touch down point, also if you pass the
terminal exit point i believe it would be a push back, (very expensive) as
no more exit points exist, my point is does a very heavy landing strain the
777 aircraft unduly especially the undercarriage regards Frank

OT: XM Radio from 396
It only took one trip in the airplane after I activated the XM entertainment
channels for me to become hooked.
I’ve started taking the thing in the car with me on driving trips, but I hate
wearing headphones in the car. How can I get the audio output from the 396
into my car’s audio system?

CFI renewal strangeness?
CAP is offering to do my CFI renewals for free (or nearly so) while
taking their National Check Pilot annual course. However, if my CFI
expires in Feb I don’t see anyway to reset it to be in July without
actually taking a ride with a DE. It does not appear that I can renew
via a course more than 3 months out. Am I missing a trick? What is the
reasoning before the 3 month limit? Why not make it like a BFR (which
you can take anytime early)?

If the speed of sound is faster in denser air..
… why does an increase in temperature mean an increase in the speed of
sound?
That’s got me confused. Hotter = less dense.
Thanks in advance.
Garmin remote antenna
Hi All!
There are some interesting threads in some other pilot groups about
these antennas…
Apparently, (I do not have one) garmin has a MAGNET in the base of the
antenna (for holding it in place in a vehicle) that they ship with the
396.. (!)
Slight issue with mounting it with velcro on top of your panel.
Some guys are trying to get the magnets out of the base for obvious
reasons, and Garmin dosen’t seem to think there is a problem..
YMMV…
Just a heads up…

Clarity Aloft Question
Has anyone tried using a cell/music adapter for this headset? I called
about upgrading to the new set they are offering, but it is $50 and I
lose my PTT switch to boot. The headset is listed as mono, so does that
mean that an adapter for stereo music wouldn’t work?
Thanks for the help.
Mountain Flying & High-Performance Resources?
I’m looking to find more information related to earning my
high-performance endorsement. Primarily, I’m wanting to see if there is
a good, clear, concise, simple website or book that explains the
transition (in thinking and practice) from a plane that uses only a
throttle and mixture control to a plane with throttle-prop-mixture and a
Manifold Pressure gauge. When I go up with an instructor to start on my
high-performance endorsement, I want to have some understanding of what
I’m doing, when I’m doing it, and, most importantly, WHY I’m doing it.
Also, What is a good book out there for learning about mountain flying?
I seem to remember that Imeson’s book’s are pretty good, but I don’t
have any solid knowledge of what books are better than others. I do
know to stay clear of the cumulogranite clouds often found in the
mountains.
Thanks,
Chris G.
