I just had the most realistic dream. In the dream my Bonanza compass had lost all of its fluid and was looking pretty sad. Concluding that the compass needed to be replaced, I found a couple of well-respected aviation supply websites that sold new compasses for a price. However, right there below...

My partner and I have decided it is time to upgrade the old 'wing-leveller' autopilot (Century I) to a real autopilot. We will likely be looking for either 2 or 3 axis (altitude would be nice, but we need to factor in cost) and will couple it to the Garmin 530. AP to be installed in a Beech...

When I started Atlas yesterday I watched the voltage on the JPI and the EI volt meters. It was pegged right at 14, which my A&P says is nominal. It drops to 13.4 or 13.5 in cruise, which he also says is fine. So, the JPI EDM-700 is now enroute back to JP Instruments in California. The tech I...

So, things are going about the way they always do when it comes to aircraft panel work... 1. Trim switch problems As previously posted, electric trim switch dismantled, slightly modified, and repaired. Worked fine on the ground. Test flight today -- nothing. Works forward, not backward, just as...

Ever since getting the overhauled engine (Lycoming 0-320-E3D), I have high oil pressure at full throttle for the runup and takeoff. I don't recall it ever making it to the red line until the last year or so and I have put 800 hours on it. It was always just below the red line at the first (0...

Can you recommend a mechanic to perform a prepurchase inspection on a 152? This would be in the general vicinity of Jackson, Mississippi. Thanks

In a few months I will begin training as a firefighter. I figured that becoming a pilot would be a great second career. I haven't taken any schooling for my pilots license and am just curious if anyone has any advice they can give me? For instance: Is it profitable? Is it very difficult to get...

From those that use it, I'm interested in the usefulness of starting an oil analysis program on a big bore Continental that already has 850 SMOH and 450 STOH on an 1100 TBO. Does it take so long to establish a baseline and trend that it would be better to wait until OH or can an individual engine...

Traditionally, in GA aircraft, is the COM mounted above or below the transponder.

I see on AvWeb that Cessna is, at least, in talks to buy some or all of Columbia Aircraft. Otherwise Columbia is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (Is that round #2 of Chap. 11?) Apparently Cessna will accept product liability for the aircraft built so far and some of Columbia's debt. I wonder...

Other than the JPI EDM line of engine analyzers, what other manufacturers are out there with good, reliable, full featured products for a big bore Continental? ----------------------------------------- Kindest regards, James A. (Jim) Carter, ANS #8215 Rogers, Arkansas

My current cover (Bruce's Custom) on the Sundowner is wearing out. I currently have the extended version that reaches all the way down to the wing root, but am considering the standard version. The standard version extends only about 1/2 way down the door. The shorter, standard version seems...

I vaguely recall someone mentioning to me once that there was an AD regarding cigarette lighters in Cessna 172s of some vintage. But I've searched around trying to find this (including at the FAA web site), and have failed. Anyone have pointers (or is this perhaps an "urban...
