Marcus,
based on what I know and what was also mentioned before the com antenna needs to
be as much vertical as possible. So how does your installation on the cabin
ceiling work then?

Another consideration is the radiation from the antenna. IIRC correctly the
intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance between the pilot
and the source.

Subject: RV10-List: Remembrance of Mark Ritter
Today is the One year anniversary of Mark Ritter's "Gone West" flight.=C2
- Mark was a valued contributor on this list and we shared several memora
ble discussions "offline" over the months and years.=C2- Attached is a pi
cture of Mark's Scheme Designer paint job.=C2- Each loss to our group is
a painful one, but I reflect on the valued lesson Mark left behind for me.
=C2- Friends share observations with friends.
As a retired Pilot Examiner, I without fail would include an Oral question
for both Private and Commercial applicants from FAR 61.53 and often would q
uery the use of "Over the Counter" medications.=C2- Years later the FAA e
xpanded our responsibility to include a Task from the Area of Operations in
the PTS, of Preflight Preparation.=C2- I would always delve into Aeromed
ical Factors.=C2- Applicants knew they would be getting questions on the
recognition and remediation on hypoxia and hyperventilation.=C2- Sometime
s a distracter to induce potential vertigo would be included. Today, in the
Air Carrier Maintenance arena - Human Factors are the big FAA push.=C2-
Fatigue/Distractions/Complacency/the list goes on to make up the Dirty Doze
n.
Mark was not my first friend to be lost to potential medical issues.=C2-
Another pilot Bob McCann "Went West" making a similar solo flight in connec
tion to that simple "Pilot's Pancake Breakfast" just an hour away.=C2- Th
e Search and Rescue effort brought scores of pilots into the mix with the C
AP (and a topic I won't go into here).=C2- We each benefit by our candid
discussion with friends when we observe something out of the ordinary then
do something more than silent observation.=C2- We each carry the financia
l cost of increased insurance rates after their passing.=C2- Let's all ho
pe that Mark's passing is the beginning of a long and extended period of Sa
fe Flights in the RV-10 that are devoid of medical issues.
I remember an incident in A&P school where another friend, Alan Johnson (re
tired AF crew chief) seemed just a bit unusually stresses over our Bendix P
ressure Carb Fuel Metering Class.=C2- I let Alan know repeatedly that he
just did not look his Rosey self.=C2- Green and Grey with perspiration we
re not typical school colors. Alan reluctantly visited a doctor after class
that day.=C2- Seems his smoking, drinking and sedentary lifestyle requir
ed an immediate quadruple bypass. Although Alan left that class and the pro
gram, the years have passed gently. Today Alan can be found on the ramp of
airports in Arizona with his Canon capturing the aircraft he loves.
Let's spend a minute, think of Mark and others who have passed and reflect
on the value of sharing our observations.
I don't have an answer for you on those who pilots who cognitively fly into
bad weather or disregard clear and concise information to the contrary in
attempting flight with known aircraft problems.=C2- May 2009 and
Beyond continue the pattern and that Mark be our last loss.=C2-
I know we're are all one day closer. <<Mark Ritter N410MR.pdf>>
