Most jet aircraft use bleed air from the engines which is ducted to and blows hot air across the critical surfaces.
Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response.

How does anti-ice work in the air but they can’t use it on the ground?
Some of the smaller planes have what is known as a TKS system which essentially weeps anti ice fluid from small holes on the leading edge of wings and props. Its essentially antifreeze that needs to be spread by the wind in flight. You only have X amount of minutes of use so its not something that stays on every flight unless its known icing conditions.
Im not familiar with what small jets and commercial liners use other than boots.
re: Jeep Wagoneer L
Posted by Zakatak on 1/25/26 at 1:40 pm to Tigerbait1233
Wife has a 2023 base wagoneer L. I bought it used with 4k miles so i was able to mitigate the depreciation loss. Have over 50k miles now.
Pros: Plenty of room even with 4 young kids. Rides awesome. The hurricane has plenty of power despite being only 3.0 L.
Cons: electrical bugs from time to time. Have to occasionally shut off the vehicle to get some buttons to work again etc. No dipstick.
Been in the shop twice. Once for the thermostat which almost overheated the engine. They decided to take a really simple part of an engine and turn it into an electric ball valve which failed closed while driving. The other time was for a faulty primary fuse (200 amp?) under the battery.
Even though the engine has plenty power i would much rather have a V8 and wish they had continued it. I dont think you can find any L models with a V8 as they were never offered the option. The hurricane seems to be good so far but i really recommend you change the engine oil early and use a good synthetic such as pennzoil ultra platinum. Direct injection dilutes and dirties the oil so fast its a little scary.

Most of the LED lights that yall are complaining about are likely not aimed properly.
I like my truck leveled like any other baw out there. However, i also take the time to adjust my headlights after changing the factory stance. Most do not.

The "20" in oil numbers indicates its thickness at high temperatures,
This is a pretty common misconception because of how confusing multi viscosity oil nomenclature is.
Engine oil does not thicken as the temperature rises. The spec means that the 0w20 oil will be 0w at ambient and equivalent to a 20w at a given operating temperature. They achieve this effect through additives that slow the thinning of the oil as temp rises.
Maybe a better way to say it is that a 0w20 is a 0w oil that behaves like a 20w oil when hot.

Too many incentives to prop the foreigners up to own them. White man doesnt get the same treatment and thus its not as lucrative of a venture.

I think Miles’ tenure at LSU without having to deal with Saban would have a very different perspective of most fans.

2006 Baron has 2 tanks, one per wing. There is no switching required.
I appreciate this info. I dont have any twin engine experience directly.
quote:
Sounds to me like they ran out of fuel.
This is what confuses me. The security cam footage from one of the stores nearby has audio. There is clearly at least 1 engine making power. Thats why i was thinking maybe ran out/starved and switched tanks to find some fuel for a restart.
quote:
Do you switch gas tanks mid flight normally? One runs out and you switch over? How does that work exactly I’m just curious?
Many smaller private planes are set up with right and left wing tanks that feed into a small (2-3 gal) header tank. The header tank feeds the engine directly. You have the ability to switch a valve in the cockpit between right/left/both. Both is used for takeoff and landing and can be used for flight. The issue with both is that if flying a distance you may have one tank feeding faster than the other due to flight characteristics. Being able to isolate one tank gives you the ability to pull from one tank to balance out the weight distribution across the plane. It also allows you to pull from the good tank if you develop an issue in flight with the other.
quote:
that wasn't what I was expecting to see. How does a plane get into a flat decent tailspin like that?
If the audio on that video is accurate there is at least one engine making power.
Another scenario is they forgot to swap tanks and engines died. They put the plane on glide to trouble shoot and figured the problem out and swapped tanks to restart. One engine making power in a low energy twin can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Can induce a flat spin with adverse yaw and without considerable altitude almost impossible to recover.

Thats a 2000ft (at best) grass strip. High transmission lines on the east end.
A twin beech is not filing a flight plan there. I think and hope thats just a fault with flight aware in that when a VFR flight results in a crash the software just assumes the destination is the nearest registered strip.
