Rec.Aviation OSH report by
Jim Burns
I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left KIOW this
morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident on 9/27. Rumors
are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to ground crash. No other
details.
For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party...

non TSO AI for co-pilot legal? by
Dico
Hello,
I'm wondering if its legal to put a 2nd artificial horizon in the plane
as a backup if it is not certified? We may want to put one in the
plane as a backup... but just wanted to know if we need a certified
unit or not.
Thanks,

Newsgroups and Email by
Jim Weir
Hey, fellers...
I was always taught that if a subject started in the newsgroups, it STAYED in
the newsgroups. Lately it seems more and more that in answer to some aviation
thread in these groups, I'm getting an email request for more information.
Please, if it starts in these groups, let's KEEP...

News server and software by
Kobra[_6_]
Flyers,
My ISP (comcast) just discontinued it's usenet service. How do most
of you get on the newsgroups if your ISP does not provide newsgroup
service? I am now in Google Groups using internet explorer. It's
really clunky compared to using Outlook Express.
The threads are not held together...

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...

Garmin audio panel question by
Brinks
I've got a friend with a Garmin GMA-340 audio panel with the marker beacons.
It's got a high and low sensitivity switch on it for the marker receiver.
When it's on High Sensitivity, everything works OK. When it's on low
sensitivity, he can only pick up the outer marker. We pulled the antenna
off...

Any info on WC Pye Course & Speed Calculator by
Jack McAdams
My grandson gave me a beautiful Course & Speed Calculator manufactured
by W.C. Pye & Co Ltd. The mahagony box is marked as REF. No. 6B/120.
It is a MK IIA model.
It is obviously analagous to a very early E6B. My guess it is WWII
era, maybe a bit earlier.
Does anyone happen to have an instruction...

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

Navion Maintainance by
PiperSeneca@
Thank you for the excellent info on parts availabilty. On a similar
topic, are there any maintenance trouble spots on the older Navions?
I was told that the hydraulic system is leaky or troublesome. Is this
true, how bad a problem is it and are there any other areas of
concern?

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...

Avionics Build It Yourself Manuals by
RST Engineering
So for 35 years now we've been putting out our kits with two printed manuals
per kit ... a
"operations and maintenance" and a "construction and assembly" manual. Each
of which costs us about $2 a manual. Not a big deal.
I've got a wild hair that we can put out a digital CDROM set of manuals...

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?
