Howdy, I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again....

Am I hallucinating again, or did I read somewhere that you can have Lightspeed install a new cord on their headsets so they will take power from a panel mounted jack, rather than the in-cord battery box? I can't find relevant info on their website... -jav

Any recommendations or comments about using one of the commercial airplane scheduling software packages? I have used ScheduleMaster in another club in the past and liked it. We currently are using a phone scheduling system and I find it to be slow and cumbersome to use unless the schedule is...

I'm in a position where I can't afford another (2) 360's for my twin - someone suggested putting 320's in to "apache-ize" it until I have more scratch...is this just crazy talk? People Up to 360's from 320 all the time, but I never heard of going down to them before - is it: legal, moral,...

Hi! My parachuting club has bought '75 Cessna 206 and is making complete restoration for it. We would like to install JPI EDM 700/800 engine multi-instrument and Garmin GMA 340 audio panel into it, but... .... our national Civil Aviation Administration could handle/approve these installations...

The official EAA site is top heavy with photos of mechanical bulls, past prime rock n' roll acts, and photos of the people that make AirVenture what it...

Looking at something like a 182, What does it cost to have the A+P Remove and replace the engine/prop? It's easy to find overhaul costs in Trade a plane etc...., but how much more does the shop labor add? (Assuming that not much else is wrong with the aircraft?) Paul
