OK, I've been googling, wikiing, and reading FAR gobbledygook all morning and I still don't have a clear picture of what the nav light requirements (in both azimuth and elevation) are as regards brightness. If anybody has a point to a clear post of the brightness requirements, I'd sure be...

Saturday we took Fat Albert and flew from mid michigan to Dayton, Ohio for the world famous Dayton Hamfest... My son and my old buddy Ed went with me... Took 1:45 going down in the early morning darkness, where the dawn is just a band of bluish light on the horizon... Smooth air... But 30 Knots...

Hello all, Our old panel mounted (yes very old) Apollo 820 GPS by IIMorrow appears to have kicked the can. When turned on it goes through it's usual sequence but eventually emits a red warning along with the message "GPS unable to compute position". There appears to be reception of satellites...

I don't get the reason for the Cozy or the Velocity (which isn't selling anyway) from the standpoint of speed, comfort, etc. The $$$ come out the same for the most part and you don't have composite issues or trouble getting things fixed. Pusher/tractor preferences aside, am I missing something that...

Just got off the phone with Avmap and here's their lastest: It will be a separate XM box and antenna that interfaces to the EKP-IV through the serial port. The XM box is "small" (no dimensions given) and can be stached anywhere. No mention of whether the XM box has it's own power cable or...

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but interesting aerospace stuff: From NASA: Intense Testing Paved Phoenix Road to Mars When NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander descends to the surface of the Red Planet on May 25, few will be watching as closely as the men and women who have spent years planning, analyzing and...

I have a 1995 Piper Archer which is starting to get loud inside as the door seal is getting all worn and cruddy. I looked on the web to buy new door seals. I did not realize there was such a plethora of products out there. I am thinking about the Avtek air-squeeze product and wonder if anyone...

Hey all. Just got done with a marathon day of maintenance yesterday and figured I'd share. The interior lights started blowing the breaker a week or two ago, so my mechanic and I repaired it yesterday. It turns out that the breaker blowing was easy (one of the little clippy light bulbs had...
