Today I was flying my Twin Comanche PA30 everything was great until after landing. Once I had the wheels on the ground I pulled the power back to idle, about three seconds or so after I pulled the power back the prop feathered and the engine shut down. I let the engine cool down for about 30 min...

Hello Guys: I am in the process buying a malibu and I was just told the engine log is missing (overhauled in 1996, currently 850 hours smoh)but the owner has MOST of the invoices for the work done during last nine years since the overhaul. My questions are the following; 1. How much is the...

Does anyone have the pinouts for a KX155 please Thanks in anticipation Ric

I am sure this has been beat to death many times but I have not seen it so here you go again. I have just agreed to buy an aircraft, pending the few details that always crop up. It happens to be a low wing plane, but all my time so far has been in a C152. The low wing appeals to me as the lack of...

For several years now I've taken advantage of the rule that allows you to do your annual on a 13-month (rather than 12 month) basis, by simply finishing the annual on the 1st of the following month each time. Now it seems this procedure has come back to haunt me, as my annual this year is...

Ho, ho, ho....! Me, I'm asking Santa for a new, solid-state transponder -- which is about as dull as socks & underwear, but the third digit on mine keeps going wacky once in while. I *hate* it when ATC thinks I've set my squawk code wrong... What are you hoping to find in YOUR stocking on...

....And just to prove it, I will announce the following to the aviation world: Yesterday, for the first time since I bought Atlas in 2002, EVERYTHING in the panel worked as designed all at the same time! Both radios (one new), both VORs (one new), both GPS's (one new), the transponder (new), the...

I am quite sure that one can offer an aircraft for hire with an instructor under part 91 with an engine that has gone beyond TBO. However, someone I know called the FSDO in California and asked, and I was astounded when he was told that they told him if he was going to do instruction for hire the...

I can understand why pressurized aircraft need static ports, but why do unpressurized airplanes have them? I wouldn't think the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the airplane wouldn't differ by that much. (When I open the alternate static port in my C185, the altimeter...

Niche auction for aviation...they just went live... Can it compete with eBay? Your thoughts? http://www.aerobid.net

Hello all. I've mentioned my flying club a number of times, and... A limited number of memberships are available in The Paramus Flying Club, which has been providing affordable flying in Northern NJ since 1955. Today, the club spans two airports and flies four aircraft: two 180HP Cessna 172s, a...

All, Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S. Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter (or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not looking in the right place?) What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive...

Jon, Have a pre-buy inspection done by a mechanic that hasn't worked on the plane for the previous owner. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Does anyone else have their Garmin 396 connected to the audio in their airplane? If so, do you get terrain warnings every time you approach an airport to land? I do, but Garmin doesn't seem to be very interested in helping. I've exchanged several emails with their tech support. They don't...

How are these things being repaired, with a 1"-wide aluminum sheet doubler sandwiched between the corrugated skins? That's what one of the IA's here suggests, other than replacing the skins, which would cost an arm and a leg. TIA.
