Exxon Elite Oil: More favorable oil analysis or simply coincidence? by
Peter R.
With my rebuilt Bonanza engine, I have been faithfully sending in every oil
sample drawn from the 40-50 hour oil change to Aviation Laboratories for an
oil sample.
When I receive the report from the lab, I log it to an MS Excel spreadsheet
in order to catch any trends. Currently I have seven oil...

Whelan Strobe Troubleshooting... by
zatatime
Does anyone know how to go about trouble shooting a Whelan strobe
light? It is on a Piper Cherokee and is the "beacon" of the airplane.
I had an extra bulb I don't know the status of and swapped it out, but
still didn't get any emission. I'm thinking that its probably the
unit, but I don't know...

Can vacuum AI be removed if a certified electric one is installed?? by
Dave
I had an interesting discussion with other pilots about converting my
Piper Cherokee 6 to all electric. This would basically require
replacing the AI and DG with electric AI and elec. HSI. So, then,
there would be no use for vacuum pump. But, one pilot said that the
certified elec. AI only...

Lancair IV-P Flyer
Would anyone have an idea about the cause of this?
Problem:
Intermittent noise (sounds just like a squelch volume test) on both
communication radios. Lasts from 15 seconds to two minutes. Will
occur at any RPM including idle. Changing frequencies eliminates the
noise but the noise can and most...

Eclipse 500 Direct Operating Cost by
Bravo8500
Does anybody know if the .69 per statute mile as posted on
eclipseaviation.com includes engine reserve? Also, going by the trip
profiles on the website, it looks like the cost would be a lot higher
on shorter trips... like the .69 is based on a max range trip, any
ideas?

Battery storage? by
Roger Long
We put a fresh battery in our plane for the winter starting season even
though the old one was in good shape. On advice from several sources, I put
the old one on a Sears trickle charger as a spare. The charger claims to
sense the battery condition and be suitable for long term connections.

Buying an older airplane by
Kai Glaesner
Hello community,
imagine you consider byuing an older airplane, e.g. a Piper from the Pa-28
Arrow series: is there an age (or a year of birth ;-) you would not exceed?
If yes, for what reason (e.g. may be that corrosion-protection was not usual
before that year, or that copper was so expensive,...

More on CHT probe replacement by
Jim Burns
I've been researching how to replace an old AC Spark Plug CHT probe in our
Aztec. AC doesn't make them anymore and the replacement Rochester brand
probe operates at a different resistance range requiring the gauge to be
removed, shipped out and recalibrated. Not a fun proposition.
Rumor, and a...

Issues around de-ice on a 182 by
Andrew Gideon
One of the members of my club has proposed that we add TKS de-ice to our two
182s. Apparently, such a system is to become available later this year.
My reaction at first was negative. After all, in our near-NYC location, the
utility of such a tool is limited to a few months a year. Surely we...

F33A Bonanza Alternator Light by
Peter Shurman
Light comes on occasionally...extinguishes itself in 2 or 3 seconds.
Mechanic's inspection reveals nothing. Light has come on once or twice in
the past and required manual switch reset which worked. Any advice or
experience would be appreciated.

Carrying Skis in a Single... by

Hey Guys,
I'm in plane-search mode after recently passing my check flight.
One of the number one uses I want for the aircraft is to be able to
make VFR flights up to Tahoe in the winter for ski trips (hopefully
regularly, as the weather permits).
As such, I have a pretty basic question-

SR-22 in northern NJ? by

Hi all... I'm nearing the completion of my IR training at CDW, and I'm
