Brain Teaser
What's wrong with this statement? After his engine died, the pilot glided to a landing on the frozen lake and taxied his plane to shore. (answer at bottom of page)

Random Pick from The Private Pilot's Dictionary and Handbook

Burble An increase in the angle of attack of an aircraft beyond the stalling angle (approx. 20 degrees) when air is no longer flowing properly over the wing surface. It creates a turbulent condition in the air above the upper surface of the wing, called a burble. When this breaking away (burbling) of the air occurs, the plane will shudder and shake and then lose lift immediately. (this could be an antiquated word by now but I like it!)

Answer to Brain Teaser: How can a pilot taxi an airplane with a dead engine!
