required equipment Multi checkride by
akiley
Hi all, I'm nearing my multi checkride. The Duchess I've been flying
has one of it's undervoltage alternator lights stuck so that's it's
always illuminated. It's been this way for a few months and I'm not
sure it will be fixed in time for my checkride. The day VFR list in
the FARs don't require...

Multi engine fuel crossfeed question (Duchess twin) by
akiley
Hi All, I'm working on my multi rating in a Beech Duchess. I'm
curious about an item that doesn't seem well covered in the POH and
elsewhere for that matter.
What if you loose one engine at altitude, allowing plenty of time to
try to fix. You determine that you ran the right tank dry of...

OT - Airline ticketing by
Al
My son in law purchased a ticket for my daughter on United Airlines
using a credit card. The purchase was made on line. When my daughter showed
up for the flight, she was refused boarding because she didn't have the
credit card in her possession. The ticket agent, in Eugene Or., said "We

Unusual Vacuum system indication, please help explain. by
Al
Hi Group.
I had a trip Friday in a 1977 C-337G(pressurized). On the taxi out I
noticed the suction gauge was pegged high. The AI erected ok, but the DG
required many updates on the way to the run-up area. Pulling on to the
runway, we corrected the DG again, by 30 degrees.
We flew VFR to Boise, and...

That Blue VFR card with a hole in it by
Al
Attention Old Farts...
Does anyone remember that Blue VFR card with a hole in it? I think it was a
"Weather observation" card used around WWII. A friend asked me about it, and
all I can remember is that there was one.

Why does the Pilot parking empty first? by
Al
Ok, the air show season is running down, and once again I ask, Why does
the Pilot parking empty first. For years I worked at the Medford National
Air show, Medford, Oregon. We had a Pilot/Performer parking lot that held a
couple hundred cars. Without exception, the Pilot parking emptied first.

Cessna 337C Speeds by
Al
Hi all,
I am considering the purchase of a 337C Turbo and I am wondering what
the cruise speed, fuel burn and optimum altitude would be. Any other
comments would be appreciated. I have heard numbers anywhere between
175kts and 200kts. This plane also has a Robertson Stol kit which I
assume...

Mxx Observation by
Al G
Reading MXx's responses to our answers, ****ed me off a bit, and I began
to wonder why.
Somewhere I got the idea that if I didn't know something, and asked
someone who did, I might actually profit from respectfully listening to
their answer. While I might have some further questions, my...

How many aircraft "Types"? by
Al G
How many "Types" have you flown?
Without mentioning any names, I have recently seen claims of having
flown
more than a thousand types. Are there a thousand types? Are there 1000
civilian types?
Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, if I fly a C-210, a T-210 and a P-210,
I consider them

Shipping a Radar-Advice? by
Al G[_1_]
A friend has recently updated his C210's avionics with a largely Garmin
panel. Among the things removed was a King RDS81 weather radar. I've found a
buyer in Florida, and have to figure out how to get it there from Oregon, as
safely as possible. We don't have to ship the pod, just the...

AeroStar Fuel system? by
Al G[_1_]
Could someone fill me in on the Aerostar fuel system? The one in
question is a 602P.
IIRC, Ted Smith designed it as a "Leave it alone and burn all the fuel
in the airplane" type system.
But wasn't there a lawsuit over one years ago?

Who would counterfeit a $31 watch? by
Al G[_1_]
Our local wholesale watch spammer is offering a knock off Casio for $190.
Bi-mart has the REAL thing for about $31 last I checked. Isn't this like
counterfeiting nickels?
