Forgive me if these are dumb questions, but as a new owner - '75 Sundowner, I'm learning as I go here.. 1. If I install a panel mount intercom myself, I need an A&P to agree to sign the log. True? 2. My nav indicators are a King KI-204 with glideslope and an old KI-201 or something that is...

I need a carb heat shroud/muff for a Cherokee 180. Salvage yards say theirs are all cracked. Anyone know of a good source? -- Gene Seibel Hangar 131 - http://pad39a.com/gene/plane.html Because I fly, I envy no one.

Robert, I think that is a pretty harsh assesment of the Cessna T210. My partner and I have owned ours for about 8 months now, and the requirements we had to get insurance were similar to those being quoted above. We were both +100 hr Private pilots, with all but a few hours being in 172s. We...

I had a "mike stuck open" problem on my 1977 Piper Archer. The PTT switch tests out fine and seems that the KMA20 audio panel is the culprit. I worked all the front panel switches many times and the problem has gone away for the moment. The mike unstuck as I was working the Marker Hi Lo switch I...

The louvers in the overhead vents in our '74 Archer are so badly beat up that they no longer work. These seem to be impossible to get. I can find replacements for the rear overhead vent louvers (longer and narrower than the front pair) in Aircraft Spruce and Wicks, but no one offers anything...

I'm in the process of moving from Montreal to Ottawa and I'm looking for a tie-down for my Cherokee 140. I will also need access to a good mechanic. So far I've only heard about the Ottawa Flying Club. Any words of wisdon on both subjects would be much appreciated. Thanks Jose Vivanco C-GPYH

The latest issue of AOPA Pilot contains an article about vortex generators. The article places high emphasis on how they can improve controllability during low airspeed single engine operations in twin engine airplanes. The subtitle of the article, as it relates to twins, mentions "Blueline Ops...

Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319) on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!". Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

I am flying into CYUL (Montreal, QC Canada) on Sunday 9/4 from the USA. I have a couple of questions: 1) How GA friendly are they with landing fees, etc.? I don't plan on buying fuel. 2) Is customs available 24/7 or do I have to pay an extra fee since this is a holiday weekend and a Sunday?

I was having a long standing problem on my 172N with the ammeter "woggling", that is, rapidly wiggling back and forth in level flight, through about 1/2 of the total scale. This was going on for a year or more. On the last annual, the AP had me disassemble the solenoids and brush the leads. There...

Flight last Friday to KTUP. GPS 18 approach with procedure turn conducted in actual conditions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZLvqE0ypjI Video best viewed full screen. Video really shows the need for an IA rating if you want to go anywhere as you will see my departure weather and destination...

Does anyone know if there's still a Twin Beech (Beech 18) type club?

I was flying yesterday and noted on my GEM that on cyl #1, the EGT was normal, but the CHT was very low. Most of the time the CHT was off the scale low, so there was essentially no reading, but occasionally it would come up enough to be at the bottom or one bar from the bottom of scale. I can't...

My Cessna 182Q -- wet wing tanks, no bladders -- has developed a fuel seep from the left tank. Can anyone here recommend a good repair shop within a few hours of Denver, Colorado? Thanks! Jon

Hello Folks... I am looking for some opinions on these two autopilots. They both look like modern systems at roughly the same price points. Just wondering if people can provide some real life information and things one should watch out for. Thanks, -dr

I am considering purchasing a 1/3rd share of an LLC which owns a Cessna 206. The LLC is owned by three partners each with an equal share. The only other asset of the LLC is a bank account with maintenance reserve funds. My question is this... How does one go about purchasing a 1/3rd share of an...
