Software to write to PCMCIA datacards? by
Charles[_1_]
I'd like to update the database for my Apollo GX55 GPS. $120 for the
raw data is bad enough, but Jeppesen also wants $150 for a writer. The
datacard is a PCMCIA card, so wouldn't it be possible to work with it
with a plain old laptop or a $10 reader from Best Buy? I'm wondering
if someone has...

First emergency by
EventHorizon
I thought you might all find this story interesting.
Me, I'm 53 and have been flying since 1988 with about 1000 hrs. My
partner is a CFI and we've been in a Cherokee 140 partnership for about
12 years. We have a 1974 Cherokee Cruiser, which we normally keep well
maintained (!).
About a week...

Piper doors, why the passenger side? by
Nathan Young
First off, this isn't a post to argue the merits of one-door vs.
two-doors, so if you want to do that, start your own thread... :)
Why does Piper put the door of the plane on the passenger side? I
cannot think of one good reason. Would like to hear the group's
opinions.
OTOH, I can think of...

AIRNAV not publishing fuel prices... by
Victor
.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs
that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so
it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be
this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on
all airports free of...

Lycoming O-360 oil suction screen torque by
[email protected]
Hi,
I'm looking for the torque specification for the oil suction screen (the one
near the bottom of the engine) for a Lycoming O-360. It's the A4A model. I'm
planning on inspecting the suction screen on the next oil change.
Thx!

New Cessna panel by
C J Campbell
Yesterday I saw the new Cessna Nav III package for the 2004 182s and 206s.
It is a Garmin 1000 system with battery backup (not certified for part 135
IFR, though). At last Cessna enters the 21st century.

Aerospace Logic CHT+EGT vs EI/JPI EMS by
EridanMan
Hey Guys,

Aerospace Logic CHT+EGT gauges as a substitute for a dedicated multibar
EMS for LOP operations.
While obviously I'd be missing out on all the "cool" features, the
aerospace logic gauges would give me Hottest Cylinder...

Apollo Flybuddy Loran Replacement by

Now that I have a worthless Flybuddy in my panel I'm trying to decide
the best way to replace it. I've used a Garmin 296 as my first choice
for navigation but it was always nice to have the "Loran" as a back-up
should the battery fail on the Garmin. I have considered getting

The Lycoming 0-360 A4M in our Archer is now 2250 SMOH and we are intending
