Anybody have a source for an oil screen cover for an O-320 or know about what they go for? It also needs the tapped hole for the temp probe. It's about a 9/16" hole right in the middle. TIA. mike regish

I posted a while back about finding a way around my company's policy of not allowing employees to fly private aircraft to places of business. Someone suggested getting my own insurance and having the company named on the policy. I pursued that and here's what happened: I checked out AOPAIA and...

The low altitude frequency for BOS approach south of either BOS R270 or near Interstate 90 is charted as 124.1 Mhz. Maybe that is the frequency that they use at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, but I've always been asked to use 120.6, both on initial call ups or handoffs from another sector. This...

Pitching a clockwise spinning (seen from the cockpit) prop forward will result in a yaw to the left, pitching it up will result in a right yaw. Correct so far? However, why does a yaw to the right cause a pitch up, and a yaw to the left cause a pitch down? I thought it would be the other way,...

I dont need to be preached to about the importance of having insurance on your airplane, but I remember hearing somewhere recently that as a aircraft owner, your not required by law to have it insured (the way you are with a car.) Is there any truth to this?

Anyone ever fly into Hatteras and camp out? Seems one of the NPS campsites is only about a mile from the airstrip, an easy stroll. Any recommendations? Does the camping area fill up fast? TIA

Did an oil change on my Tripacer. I've done them before and they're pretty easy. This one though, it looks like my oil screen cover is leaking like crazy. I actually changed the oil last month right before it went into annual. They flew it (looks like a couple of hours worth) with no leaks...

Hi, For those that know me (and for those who don't if you're interested!) here are some photos that my friend Ed took from the passenger seat of the lead aircraft of my plane during the formation flying course I did weekend before last. The third along on the top line shows the distance I was...

I recently received my license and I am taking my somewhat nervous wife up for the first time. I am aiming for a clear, reasonably smooth day. Any suggestions for making this flight as positive as possible for her? Thanks much, Eric Ross
