approach, can I use the 480's capabilites to fly a precision approach
and get down to a...

UPDATE #2 -- Headset Noise by
Jonathan Goodish
I flew the airplane today, and headset noise (alternator whine) has not
been completely eliminated by the resolution of the ground loop through
the intercom system, but it has been further reduced to a level where it
is just manageable. The "chop chop" or "flutter" electrical noise is
still...

Importing Canadian aircraft into US by
Shad
I see this subject was discussed on the list back in '99, but I was
wondering what people have been doing lately. I am purchasing a
Canadian registered 206 and am importing it into the US. The aircraft

Alon Aircoupe / Ercoupe advise wanted by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I recently sold my Beech Sundowner because the fixed costs were too
high to justify. Beautiful airplane and I miss her! The plan was to
just rent for awhile, but that's quickly growing old. I've been
toying with the idea of buying a later model Alon Aircoupe for local
fun flying. I can...

Headset Noise by
Jonathan Goodish
I have a Sigtronics SPA-400 intercom in my Cherokee. Everything works
fine, except that the right seat position has an annoying amount of
electrical noise in the headset. It is a high-pitch whine (alternator
noise), and the pitch seems to follow RPM. This is not noticable in the
pilot's headset,...

Dico
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,

UPDATE -- Headset Noise by
Jonathan Goodish
Inspired by the many helpful suggestions of group participants, I
finally went searching for the potential ground loop issue--and I
believe that I found it. The tip terminal of the copilot mic jack was

FYI: I am helping a 210 owner install a FlightCom 403 stereo
panel-mounted intercom. After straightening out some
shielding/grounding/wiring/input-level issues, and while testing the
unit, I noticed that the music quality through his headphones sounded
very "tinny", was obviously lacking in bass...
