    Yay, back to silliness! Good job! BTW, about the pounds of fuel with jets. This actually has nothing to do with weight or volume. Jets are so fancy their fuel can only be bought with British pounds sterling and the fuel gauges simply show how much money you've invested in each tank. So, to determine how many gallons you have when the fuel gauge displays pounds, you have to do the following:
    1. Determine the price in dollars for a gallon of avgas
    2. Use the current exchange rate to convert this dollar amount to pounds sterling, which gives you pounds per gallon on that day, depending on avgas prices and the exchange rate.
    3. Divide the pounds shown on the gauge by this number, which then tells you how many gallons are in the tank.

    On the Lear/Citation/Honda/Gulfstream/Max 8, it is the "Peter tube", but on a Piper it's a, uh..."Peter Piper tube", and plays tunes in a cheerful, whistling sort of timbre (or is it a "Pied Piper Peter Tube", to keep rats off the wings/fuselage, etc.)

      Unfortunately, sport pilots are not allowed to fly these. MOSAIC is coming though. The FAA is expected to release the MOSAIC NPRM soon. If that does not relax the rules enough to make the Lear Citation a legacy LSA, you can ask the FAA to change the rules. They have to read all comments that they receive.

    I hope you recommend that the owner of that LeeerJet gets an oil analysis soon. No wait, duh, I forgot....it's all ball bearings nowadays. Next flight, check the Fetzer valve to see if it is ok. If it isn't, get some some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. You might also need bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State. (Awesome vid BT!)

    Just to confirm, you were careful to stick your airspeeds at 85 downwind, 75 base, and 65 final, just like my 172, right? Also, you need to have a good A&P mechanic take a look at your bubble-ator, which was not creating bubbles on your final landing, a definite no-fly item...could just be a liquid soap issue, but I'm not a mechanic, so likely a mere $8,000 fix in my experience.
