http://tinyurl.com/24og9o Read about the bewildering details of a number of long-suffering non-resident pilots who have been caught in the FL tax trap, (otherwise known as the "Florida Landing Fee"). It starts like this... you buy a new or used aircraft and sign the bill of sale... which starts...

Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be illegal. Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?

Wanting to put our club's 430s on the upgrade list, I need to get the serial numbers. Is there a page with this in the unit itself? I looked the other day, but didn't spot it. Thanks... Andrew

I have a 1971 Piper Cherokee 180. I changed the oil earlier this week, and then taxiied around the airport as part of my runup check. During this process, I noticed that upon first application - the right brake is soft. Pumping the brake pedal gets the pressure back, and then it works ok. ...

Atlas just got his oil/air separator installed today. (For those who may not know, Atlas is our '74 Cherokee Pathfinder, so-named because he can lift literally anything we can fit inside!) We picked this new accessory up at OSH '04, after much debate. (It's a helluva lot of money for what looks...

Mike: If you're going to do the side panels, seriously consider what's between the side panels and the aluminum. If it's anything like my cherokee, it's disintegrating roofing insulation (or something that looks like it). You'll want to remove that stuff too and put better insulation. I'm leaning...

Hey all... I've got a KLX-135 GPS/COM that recently developed an identity crisis. Apparently there's an internal lithium battery that dies after 3-5 years and causes it to forget all of its waypoints and internal GPS almanac. Anyone ever replaced or had one replaced? Also, I just recently became...

The KX155 in my "new" airplane (Helio Courier) seems to have bitten the dust. It looks like an old POS and I am trying to figure out what to do. What are the functional differences between the KX155, KX165 and the KX155A and KX165A? The airplane has a Garmin 300XL as #1 and a switching relay...

Conflict with aircraft fuel systems and Ethanol are many: http://www.pmawwacs.org/downloads/gov_affairs/ethanol/Dept_Commerce_ethanol.pdf California formulation is only about 5.7 percent Ethanol, so that Cherokee 235 may get away with it for awhile, especially if it flies to other airports and...

Looks like its time to repair the boots ... I have contacted a company called Boots Edge Repair Corp out of Bethany, OK. Does anyone have any experience with this company and their repair process... good or bad. Please let me know what you know. Thanks Greg

Hello, I am looking to purchase a Cessna 150 Child Seat. If anyone has one and is looking to sell it, please let me know. I'm located in South Florida. IF you are close, I would love to fly to location and pick it up (another excuse to fly...) Thanks. Lamberto

Our King KT76 transponder has gone down, but I have a KT76A ! A friend has advised that a KT76A is a slide in replacement for the KT76. I doubt that he is correct, but I am sure the knowledgeably guys and gals on this net will know the answer. Assuming that I can't use the KT76A I would appreciate...

I know to remove a Narco radio (Com 810) there is a hole and you insert a key... kind of like opening a CD-ROM tray with it powered off. So, my question is, if I don't have this key, what makes a good substitute? I tried using a 2" jewelers phillips screwdriver but it apparently wasn't long enough....

Kershner's "The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual" has the following definition for Va. Va - The maneuvering speed. This is the maxiumu speed at a particular weight at which the controls may be fully deflected without overstressing the airplane. Now, Va is commonly taught as turbulent air...

Well, at long last I've decided to go for my instrument rating. I'm having a ball (aside from yesterday's disastrous simulator session), but now I'm facing the dilemma that every instrument student has to deal with: where to find an IFR-capable aircraft. My 1961-vintage 172B's panel has a...
