About 80% of general aviation aircraft fly using Lycoming engines. Clearing the trees at the end of the runway. Leaving 4500ft for 6500ft. Maintaining airflow and generating lift across the wings. All are impossible without a reliable engine. Lycoming powers my training aircraft and so fuels my quest for a private pilot certificate. This blog is a record of my thoughts and experiences on life, flight, and learning.
Behold the wonders of a composite airframe! Upon inspecting the DA40 in daylight, it appeared that we impacted some small bird on our trip back from New Jersey. Not only did we not notice it, but there is no dent in the leading edge! Now, just to clean off the blood and feathers. Poor little birdie!
