Having just purchased a 1976 Skyhawk, I would like to buy service and parts manuals for both the airframe and the 0-320. What is the cheapest practical way to find these books. Mike Z

My Cherokee's wing-walk has a few oil stains after coming back from an oil pump impeller gear replacment session with my mechanic. Regular washing doesn't touch it. I tried hitting it with Windex and that didn't lift it. I've currently got some wheat-based kitty litter lying on it and...

I see on AOPA's web site that the FAA has blown off AOPA and all the other industry groups on DRVSM implementation. Does not getting your biz jet or turboprop outfitted with this equipment mean you won't be able to fly it above FL 290 or only at the new intermediate levels? -- Roger Long

Need critics - new European general aviation website --------------------- Hi all! I would like to invite you to provide some feedback on the new European general aviation website. Currently we offer the following information: - aircraft sales (free classified ads) - flight training in several...

Does anyone know of a one-day course on non-fuel-injected piston aircraft engines? Sort of an Engines 101? Six-cylinder preferred; Continental 0-300 ideal. Advanced Pilots Seminars has an extensive course on piston engines but it's far more advanced than I need. I'd like someone to walk me through...

Hi all, Just let me ask you a question. Do you know how many 747 SPs VIP like this one : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/433919/M/ are still flying in the world ?

Does anyone out there have a good handle on the two year depreciation (percent) in probable sale price of a new airplane such as a Skyhawk SP? Even though this is a newsgroup, this time I'd prefer answers based on actual facts and real knowledge. -- Roger Long

....in the USA instead of 400,000 or so: There would be GA airports *everywhere*. They would be like beehives on the day before Thanksgiving. You could rent a T hangar for less than the cost of a 1 br apartment. The accident rate would be about the same but the fatal accident rate would be lower...

Im looking to buy one of the Elite or ON TOP IFR simulators. If I wanted to just buy the software and not the full stack could I still log the 10 hours toward my Instrument rating. Or would I be able to buy the avionics stack the peddles and yoke off EBAY, and still get the logable 10 hours. Or do...

I want to put bigger wheels/tires on my C182L. Pilots can figure out how to unbugger the email address... Tnx MikeM

I am a student pilot getting ready to solo next week (26 hours now). I am interested in a 1/3rd share of a '65 P206 due to my large family. Apparently annual insurance is currently $1950. The seller has contacted the partnership's insurance broker who has checked with their current insurer who...

....why our Lycoming engines call for 12 (or 8) quarts of oil, when they blow out anything over 8 (or 6) quarts? My old A&P, a real gray head with decades of aviation experience, mentioned the reason to me in conversation today. Here's the poop: When Lycoming was certifying these engines, they...

Yesterday I saw the new Cessna Nav III package for the 2004 182s and 206s. It is a Garmin 1000 system with battery backup (not certified for part 135 IFR, though). At last Cessna enters the 21st century. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

I have the original Autocontrol IIIB in my 79 Archer. Lately it has been flying one dot to the right of course when in GPS/NAV mode. I've set the CDI scale to 1.0nm full scale on the GPS so the error is only about 0.2 nm. If I set the heading but to the right a little, we fly right down the...
