I am not flying my plane enough and would like to consider a partnership arrangement for the aircraft. I plan on having the aircraft based on the west coast. I hope to start a partnership with 1/4 shares at 22500.00 I am new to the dynamics of sharing ownership and flying costs. Just curious if...

I have been trying to purchase a Narco CP-136 audio panel for almost two years. Mine works just fine, but is cosmetically flawed, and I need a new faceplate. Unfortunately, Narco no long sells faceplates for this unit, so I am stuck in the used market, which means Ebay. For at least the last...

"Mark Levin" wrote in message As was pointed out to me the Beechcraft Baron does not use contra-rotating propellers. A bit of research showed me that most U.S. built light twins do not use them either. My question is why? Cost has been pointed out, however the Piper Navajo Chieftain...

If I am instrument rated and my aircraft is fully equipped for instrument flight, and I start out a flight with a VFR flight plan, and it gets foggy enough that I'm below minimums, is there a way to switch to IFR in flight, or do I have to have filed IFR from the beginning? If it's possible in...

AvWeb has sent out an announcement following the crash of one of two flying prototype Grob SPn jets the company is developing. The crash occurred during a flight demonstration for invited guests. As always, it's always too early to speculate.

Somewhat OT but somebody on here has dealt with this software. Trying to update the obstruction database for garmin 296. Follow all the directions, download the file, run it, get message 'error 0 running command avdwebupdater.exe....' Any ideas? Garmin has my $35 for the stupid key, how do I make...

Just when I thought this group was going to hell, along comes Valvetom with his Blbcock fittings, Swivel Female Adapters and Brass Nipples! He even answers his own post with a follow-up of the same post! A refreshing dose of sanity after all that's been going on here of late! GF

Hi all. First post here. Is a valid pilot license needed to operate an aircraft on tarmac/taxi way never losing contact with ground ? Is a valid pilot license needed to operate an aircraft on pontoons never losing contact with water ? Thanks, Miguel

All, Has anyone ever flown in here? I've heard conflicting reports of being able to just walk over to the rim of the canyon. Does anyone know if it's possible and/or have suggestions? Thanks, Dan

I see tons of restricted areas, MOAs, Class B, C, D, E airspace, and the like on charts, but no clear indication of how to locate the boundaries of these areas other than by pure guesstimate based on looking at the chart. On rare occasions I see a radial noted as the boundary of an area, or a...

If you've got a small problem with your plane, do you bother with a ferry permit, or do you just fly it if you think it's safe? Hypothetical: Say your (shared) plane has gotten some damage, say for instance a wingtip strobe/nav light assembly got scraped off against a hangar while it was being...

I'm having trouble posting to this newsgroup, so this is a test.

IFR ? -- Doesn't that mean " I Follow Railroad Tracks? " Actually my real question as an avionics technician and not a pilot is out in the wide open spaces in the USA where people like veterinarians use small planes to reach farms in a large area they cover. Is it legal to land a small plane...

So I've decided to film some of my flights now during the rainy season (really fun flying in Hawai'i during that time), and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to strap a camera on or not on a tripod into a plane, preferable on the tripod so I can move it around as I desire (pan it left...
