I've contemplating buying my first plane. C182 is almost perfect for what Iwant to do with the plane. alas the last few flights have had some significant overwater legs. CRQ-AVX-SBA I also want to be able to comfortably return home after dark. Thus I was thinking about a light twin, something...

Just this past week my Bonanza V35's pitot heat element failed. I had a mechanic look at it to determine if the cause was power/wiring related or if the element itself had failed. Of course, it was the element itself that had failed, which apparently in the Bonanza's case means a new pitot...

If I go to Canada and fly a Canadian registered plane, can I fly it in Canada on my US license? Can I bring it back into the US (say I buy it), can I fly it in the US? Anyone have any experience with getting a Canadian registered plane registered in the US? I suspect it is quite hard now,...

Hello everyone. The end of my story is this; We landed safely in the middle of the Florida Everglades and didn't get a single Alligator bite. Here's what happened; On Friday, April 29th, we took our Cessna 152 from Lantana, Florida to the

Anybody know what the limitations are on flying IFR with passengers in a single-engine under a single-pilot, single-aircraft part 135 cert? Thanks for any info, I can't glean it from reading part 135.

Although I am starting to resent the whole annual inspection process. More on that in a minute. All compressions on our O-540 are 78 or better out of 80, so that's always a relief. The oil filter was clean (as always), and the exhaust system is sound. Those are three big-ticket items off the list...

Still trying to track down a high oil temp reading. I would like to get a new temp sender to swap out. Too lazy to rig up the hot plate, thermometer, etc. to test the old one. Part has a number of 362-EW. Same number is on a friend's Arrow. Methinks most/all cherokees may use the same one....

Well, I did it again this year. I combined a trip to British Columbia with my final destination being Oshkosh, this time in my Amphib equipped Aviat Husky. I am not sure how many bytes I can post in one message, so if it doesn't all make it, I'll post the rest later. Trip Report 2003 Well, where...

Hey again. I have a new TKM Nav/Com (Michel MX385) in a 1982 C152. The radio is great, clean, lots of volume. The sidetone, however, is very faint, almost a whisper, and it's making me nuts. On a rare occasion, while I'm transmitting, the whisper blasts out for a brief second, and returns...

I am interested in obtaining information about what is involved in placing a hydraulic pump on the right engine in a Piper Aztec F airplane that just has a single hydraulic pump on the left engine. Specifically, who makes the kit for this and what are the approximate hours needed to install . I...

Does anyone know what size fuse is used in the clock circuit in a 172H. This fuse is located in a holder by the battery box. POH only shows fuse and no ampere rating. I would guess 1 or 2 amp?? Thanks, Mark

Why are fixed-pitch props on PA-28s indexed to the 10-4 position from the front? a) To help hand propping? b) To minimize vibration? c) To improve performance? My money is on (a) but others disagree.

At Reno, all the Formula One and Sport class racers had every single non-aerodynamic gap covered with clear tape. Which got me to thinking, there are LOTS of non-aerodynamic gaps on my Pathfinder. The stuff looks like basic, clear packing tape. Anyone used this stuff? Is there any benefit at...

Help, can someone help explain these compass symptoms? I know that the compass should be about the most reliable piece of equipment in the plane, but ours is acting strange. We have a Precision PAI-700 vertical card compass mounted in a 1966 Cessna 182. We’ve swung the compass on the ground with...

I am looking for plans to build a Mag timing light with the buzzer that changes pitch. I remember seeing plans in a Magazine. Maybe Sport Aviation. Roger @MD43 C150E

I normally fly new 172's but if I were to choose between a brand new 172sp or a Archer ? I do know that most all the 172's Ive flown that are 2002 or newer have awsome avionics. full auto pilot 4" moving map gps. If the Archer has the equivalent. I would by the Piper. other wise Id'e go with the...

It looks like the Challenger skidded off the runway and crashed into a warehouse at TEB. Isn't this the same kind of plane that crashed on takeoff in Colorado? It looks like the plane remained intact so hopefully the passengers and crew are...
