Cessna 182T w. G-1000 pirep by C J Campbell
OK, I know I said I would not get to fly this plane until tomorrow, but it arrived early and so I took a flight. This is a new turbocharged Cessna T182T. For those that have not seen the 182T (either turbo or normal, introduced last year), you might be a little startled the first time you take a...

Looking for non-biased resource by nobody
I had a brief meeting with my CEO last week. Our company spends 80K - 120K annually on commercial flights. He knows I am a private pilot and he asked me if I could prepare a comparative analysis of alternatives such as fractional ownership, outright ownership, leaseback or charter. I don't know...

GA paying fair (fare?) share by Dude
Having seen the recent diatribes from airline executives, I feel like I could just about throw up. Don't these idiots realize that if it was not for their "all important" fleets of precious cargo we could slash ATC by 90 plus percent? Let's see how well they can compete with the charters if they...

Oshkosh 2005 pictures up by
Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to weed through all 1992 pictures I took. I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but at least they're broken up into...

My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize General Aviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil by Gene Seibel

Your opinions, please! by Jay Honeck
Our new rec.aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of pictures. Since our new website is obviously becoming more popular with you folks every day, I need some advice on how to proceed: 1. Should I include "anonymous" posters? I have received pictures from several folks who do not wish to use their real...

Cleaning Spark Plugs is a Simple Job... by Jay Honeck
Lately I had noticed just a smidge of roughness in the engine. Not a roughness, really, but a slight vibration, maybe a little, tiny, occasional miss? It was not detectable by anyone except someone who flew the plane as often as I do (and, in fact, Mary often couldn't sense it), but it...

"We're with the FAA" by Chad
I've read lots of stories about it and if finally happened to me, I had my first ramp check. I flew into South Haven, MI (LWA) today to get fuel, it's self serve, and as I was fueling two men wearing ID's around their necks and holding clipboards approached my plane. I couldn't read what their...

How common are aircraft partnerships compared to outright ownerships? by [email protected]
I've come to the point where I'm looking to get into owning an aircraft. However, I've read (and calculated) that the break-even point for owning comes after about 150-200 hours per year. I'm not going to be doing nearly that amount of flying. In fact, I don't know anybody other than a CFI or...

If there were 25 million active GA pilots... by Dan Luke
....in the USA instead of 400,000 or so: There would be GA airports *everywhere*. They would be like beehives on the day before Thanksgiving. You could rent a T hangar for less than the cost of a 1 br apartment. The accident rate would be about the same but the fatal accident rate would be lower...

Opinions on a M20J by Jon Kraus
http://www.aso.com/i.aso/AircraftView.jsp?aircraft_id=84399 I flew this yesterday and it was nice (but what the hell do I know) He is asking 105k but Vref says it is worth $113k. That seemed high but again what do I know. Any Mooney owners out there want to give an opinion on the M20J? Thanks in...

Question about auto gas STC by JimT96309
I am currently interested in an older C-172 (Cont. 0-300 engine) that has an STC for auto gas. My questions a 1. Can I continue to use AVgas instead of auto fuel? 2. I often fly into/out of Big Bear City, Ca. (elev. 6500ft.) I've been able to get out lightly loaded (me and one in the right...

Senate Bill S.786 could kill NWS internet weather products by FlyBoy
As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786 (see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of private sector...

Annual Off to a Good Start by Jay Honeck
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...

Have you created anything "home-made" for your plane? (or a low cost alternative?) by Andy
As a new pilot and new owner of a cessna 172, I've noticed the seeimingly unlimited amount of accessories available for my plane. Most seem to have one thing in common - a high price tag. I was wondering if anyone reading this thread would share information on any devices that are perhaps homemade...

Oshkosh questions by Jimmy B.
I'm thinking of making my first trip to Oshkosh this year. How far in advance do I have to plan this? For example, how quickly do the local hotels fill up? (Haven't made up my mind if I will camp or do the hotel thing.) Do I need a reservation to park the airplane? If so, how quickly do they...

Fuel Prices by Ross Richardson
We just got a new load of fuel yesterday and the price jumped from $2.94 per gallon to $3.52 per gallon for 100LL. I will have to pull the MP back a little more. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI

'58 Complementary Triumph TR3 Motorcar by Jim Weir
My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals? Jim

Avgas Coming Down? by Jon Kraus
Here in Indianapolis I have seen Mogas go down from $3.20 a gallon to $2.50 and it appears that it will keep on dropping. On the other hand at my home base I just filled up for a trip and still are paying $4.50 a gallon. Has anyone noticed if Avgas is coming down too? Maybe it has to do with...
