    I tried quite hard to find an authority for a gradual trim method, rather than what Marsha calls the usual "extreme" method. I found one situation, where the hooves are overgrown and curled in a scroll. A Sawzall is sometimes used - but other farriers cut back the scrolled hoof in sections to...

    Q3: This reading seems to represent the facts. National flight records are not based on what cockpit instruments show, but on the the recording barograph carried by record seeking aircraft as an FAI requirement: https://www.vintagebentonville.com/thaden-louise.html#gsc.tab=0
