Shortest runways in Caribbean

These are the shortest runways in Caribbean.
They come with their fare share of crashes like this Aztek in Saint Barts.

Notice the wheels don't make contact until the departure-end 1000 foot white markers. The go-around should have been executed long before that, at the approach end 1000-foot markers.

How to get anything on EBAY for free (and get away with it)

This article explains how to get anything for free on Ebay. This is very simple, proven and guaranteed to work. You can get, for example, an IPhone 4, a 64GB IPad 2, or even a Macbook Pro laptop for free. 1. If the seller does not use delivery confirmation, you already won. Just tell ebay you never received the item. They will always side with you (bhe buyer) and refund your money, including shipping, AT THE SELLER'S EXPENSE. There is nothing the seller can do. Ebay will not investigate further, they close the case. I have hard numerous reports of this happening. See this facebook thread and this article . The buyer now has no item, no money, and in addition he is out the cost of shipping. Totally screwed. 2. If you are dealing with a savvy seller, they will use delivery confirmation. Don't worry, you can still get your item for free. After you receive the item, open a case and claim the item broken. Let's use an IPhone 4 as an example. Open a claim and say the me...

How to hot start a Cirrus SR22

The SR22 does not like to normally start when the engine is hot. I use a simple procedure to hot start my SR22. My Method 1. Prime 5 seconds 2. Throttle 1/4" open, mixture cutoff. 3. Start cranking and slowly advance mixture. 4. Once engine starts to fire, go mixture rich. Honestly I developed this through trial and error, I don't know exactly why it works but it does. I think this works because the prime step pumps cold fuel through the system to cool it down. Then cranking the engine with mixture cutoff pushes all the fuel and air bubbles out of the system, leaving room for clean fuel to be pumped in through cold fuel lies. CPPP Method At the 2015 CPPP in Williamsport we learned about another trick. Hot engine means hot fuel lines, which vaporize fuel (literally, fuel boils, air bubbles form). Engine doesn't want to start with part fuel part air being pumped in. You must cool down your fuel lines first. 1. Throttle closed, mixture cutoff. 2. Run boost pum...
