ONLINE RESOURCE
JILL W. TALLMAN'S ARTICLES
are practical, honest, and downto-earth.
" Around the Patch:
Sucker Hole, " from June 2022
was no exception. I was visiting
my 3-year-old grandson in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Rain from
the night before coupled with
100-percent humidity made for
low IFR with fog. I waited and
waited, hoping to launch on the
return to Dover, Delaware, at
6:30 a.m. I finally departed at
8:45 a.m. after checking all my
weather sources to confirm that
the fog/cloud deck was only
about 1,000 feet, with clear skies
above. When I took off, I entered
an overcast ceiling at about 500
feet and popped out less than 45
seconds later on top. I probably
could have left earlier, but I'm
glad I waited.

IN-FLIGHT
MAG CHECK
I READ WITH INTEREST IAN
Twombly's article on " In-Flight
Mag Check " (August 2022
Flight Training) and appreciate
his words, which are right on.
But they only apply to airplanes.
A helicopter piston engine
will stop immediately if you
have a bad mag and switch off
the good mag or by accident
turn off both mags. Nobody
should select the " Off " position
in the air, but it has been done
and it immediately creates an
emergency requiring entry
into autorotation and whatever
actions are necessary to avoid
ground contact, soft or hard.
