I'm aware that the 912UL has a TBO of 1500 hours (up from 1200 not long ago). What I'm wondering about is if there's also a time-based TBO. For example, I know the Lyc 235 has, in addition to its 2400 hours TBO, a 10 year TBO; in other words, an engine 10 years SMO is to be considered *run-out*...

It seems neither of the services I've used in the past for valuation - aeropricer and VRef - can handle a LSA/UL light the SkyRanger. Any ideas on to whom/where I can go for a valuation? Or, if not on the whole AC, on the Rotax 912? TIA.

Hi all, I have an exhaust stud hole in my cylinder which is about half gone. I removed the exhaust stack and part of the helicoil is showing and upon further investigation, it looks like about half of the threads holding in the helicoil are gone. The stud and the nut came in one piece. I removed...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7VGXXj9sFo Not quite sure why KJAN was so busy today, ATC communications were in real time to the video being displayed. As you will see, it took me some time to get VFR flight following. Both in cockpit and outside views in the video. Landing in Madison, camera...

As a preventive measure, stalls should be practiced at an altitude which will...

I am in the throws of my annual on the aircraft. This year I have several things needing fixing and one is the leaky fuel selector. Well, let me tell you that is no easy job. I had to take a lot of the plane apart to get to it. What was Cessna thinking when they designed the placement of the...

Anyone here know how to access and replace/repair the panel dimmer rheostat in an Archer? It still controls the panel lights OK but does not switch on the position lights. My best guess is I'll either have to be a contortionist laying on my back under the instrument panel, or I may need to...

I have had my TCM-Bendix 357210-1 ignition switch (1974 Piper Cherokee 140) apart twice in the last 14 years to clean up the contacts. I remember once seeing a rebuild kit consisting of the back plate and the 3 triangular pressed metal contacts. Might have been from an old Wag-Aero catalog. I...

Recently out of the blue we got the following set of malfunctions in our GNS530 VOR does not receive but a separate DME unit which is coupled on the GNS530 does indicate correct DME. During testing we crosschecked the same VOR with the NAV2 box and it did function properly. VLOC mode does not...
