I am wondering if somebody out there can give me some real world numbers on how much their maintenance costs are for a Cessna 340 and 414. I don't care if it has the RAM conversion or not. A good friend of mine is starting a charter company and wants to have numbers to put in the business plan. I...

I am in the market for a 135 operation. I am finding out that going through the FAA would take about a year and I don't have the time to wait that long. If anybody has one for sale or knows someone that is thinking about selling it, let me know. Thanks Aaron

Ok, let's say my TSO'd Attitude Indicator (AI) in my Cherokee goes belly-up, and my friend just happens to have one he removed from his machine a month ago as part of a complete panel upgrade. We both KNOW the thing works fine and would solve my problem. What's the ramifications of just having it...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a morane ralley ms 880 in good condition with 500h to go. Please offer if some one has such an airplane for sale Andreas

Hi everybody, I have just bought myself a 31st birthday present, an absolutely immaculate Cessna 172H. It has original paint and interior and looks as though it just came out of the factory. Has has a fairly easy life with total time of 4,400 and log books going back to original assembly in...

Hi Has anyone been successful in updating a Honeywell Bendix-King KLN 94 (or 89/B) database via "direct cable connection" from the computer to the KLN94's serial port using an Intel Apple Mac running Windows under Parallels? The Mac doesn't have a serial port so it is necessary to use a USB...

Hello. I just discovered a White Lightening, still unbuilt, about eight years old. I know nothing about this aircraft and would appreciate some help. Determining value, build time, UK certification, etc etc. Anything you can help with. It could be for sale.........to you! Nice 2+2 seater,...

Our club aircraft have GNS-430s and Strikefinders, but I'm looking at adding some additional capacity. Long term, I suspect that ADS-B plus an MFD is going to be the way to go. But ADS-B coverage is a little light right now, so I'm reluctant to have members spending money today for such limited...

Picture an airport where MX services are limited. Perhaps because there's no real shop at the airport, but maybe just a couple of independents that work out of their hanger. Or perhaps there are shops but they're "imperfect" (ie. unwilling to work on anything that's not scheduled two or more weeks...

I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic. It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there? I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that are getting success...

Some work was done on an airplane. The new W&B is of the "removed/added" sort and computes a new empty weight and moment arm. But the document doesn't state the gross weight. The changes were all avionics; no airframe or power plant work was done. So I'd expect the gross weight to remain...

Wanting to put our club's 430s on the upgrade list, I need to get the serial numbers. Is there a page with this in the unit itself? I looked the other day, but didn't spot it. Thanks... Andrew

My club is purchasing another 172. One of the choices we've found - and otherwise nice airplane - has racked up 10,000 hours total time. Most of the other aircraft at which we've looked have had TTs of something less than half this. Are there special considerations for an airframe with this much...

How "particular" to an AP are DGs? We're looking to replace a DG in an aircraft that has an Cessna Navomatic 300A (I think it is called) autopilot. In the not too distant future, we'll be upgrading the AP (probably to an STEC unit, likely to the STEC 20 (we already have the STEC 30 Alt...

Our Cessna R182 is getting CO in the cockpit. We've now had three different shops look at it multiple times, all to no (complete) effect. They've done things like resealing the firewall, the gear-wells, the exhaust, and the like. But still we get CO. We've swapped CO detectors around between...

Hello all. I've mentioned my flying club a number of times, and... A limited number of memberships are available in The Paramus Flying Club, which has been providing affordable flying in Northern NJ since 1955. Today, the club spans two airports and flies four aircraft: two 180HP Cessna 172s, a...
