Here's an updated version of the JPIHACK program. Updated to handle all engine type, EDM760 options, and smooth the command line options a little. http://www.geocities.com/jpihack/ Thanks to Josh for the original. Source code in next message for google archive.

(Looking for serious replies please...) I am a ATP pilot with a general aviation background, and am growing tired of the insecurity of the (no matter where you work) "pro pilot job." Pagers, on call, no real vacations, etc, etc. Another friend of mine, also an ATP, feels the same way. However...

Anyone know of an STC that will let me run my truck on avgas? Mogas was $3.69 on the way home from flying, and avgas at the airport was 'only' $3.99, so if the gap closes any more...

For anybody that is in construction or that has researched affordable hangar options....for an insulated steel sided and roofed hangar which is more affordable to build- post style (pole barn) or traditional stick (framed walls)? Our EAA chapter built a traditional stick hangar and insulated...

The letter is nice, but you might consider a little stronger approach if you are a voting resident. Tell the council chief and/or the members WIIFM (What's in it for me - or in this case... them). If these are elected officials who wish to stay elected officials (and most do), you might approach...

I just bought a 1973 Cessna 172. During runup at 1700 rpm there seems to be no noticeable drop in rpm when carb heat is applied. We inspected the operation of the cable, and flapper and inspected the box and everything looked fine. We inspected the ducting for blockage and found nothing. What...

Yesterday we planned on a proposed flight 50 miles away for dinner with a light GA airplane newbie on board . The radar at home showed a very narrow band of showers to the Northwest on a SW - NE line marching SE towards us. The rain was limited to the lightest 2 green shades with an occasional...

In the documentation set that I received with my aircraft (PA28R-201T), I found an "Eqipment List" that does not seem to have been kept up to date. I also have a document with the original equipment list that came with the aircraft when it was born. My latest weight and balance also has equipment...

I saw something on the news the other day that said Ebay Motors (specifically the automobiles) gets more visitors than all the major used car sites COMBINED. I am thinking about listing my airplane, a C-172 Skyhawk, on Ebay for that reason. Do you guys think that Ebay is presently a good...

General Aviation Almost went up in smoke forever on 9-11 This is serious. If we want to be able to fly in our own aircraft, to/from major airports ( even smaller airports) then we MUST retain the RESPECT and CREDIBILITY to / of the non-flying public. Another (contrived??) 'terrorist'...

More than one person has questioned the logic behind owning an aircraft. Financially, it's a hard sell, and there are more than a few times when owning a plane can be a real hassle. But then there are days like Wednesday. The sun was shining brightly (and warmly, for December -- almost 60...

Can a multi-engine student get insurance for his own ME airplane, based on his instructor's ME time? One insurance company is saying "no way"; they'll only insure him AFTER he get's his ME rating. I'm wondering if this is universally true.

This evening, I noticed a problem with the nav/instrument lighting and panel intercom in my Cherokee that I haven't noticed before. The nav lights and internal instrument lights (I have KX170Bs, KMA20 audio panel, etc.) work just fine. The problem is that when I turn the rheostat up so that the...

Hi all, I've been looking at the possibilty of buying and owning a 1977 Hawk XP that is very near its 1500 TBO. As I understand it, starting in 1979, the engine TBO went to 2000. What is the difference and can the 2000 TBO engine be put in the 1977 Hawk XP? Or can the changes that make it a 2000...

For six years we've thrown the world's only fly-in pool party at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites, America's aviation themed, all-suites hotel, located right next to Rwy 25 at KIOW! Starting at 3 PM on the Saturday before Airventure, we offer free food, beverages (adult and otherwise), and...

As our Aztec was down due to a leaky prop seal, we began the install of our new 1/4" side windows. After removing the plastic surround trim and mapping the screws, because they were several different sizes and lengths, we then had to remove the window retainers. The retainers are basically some...

I am a Canadian who lives in the US for part of the year does anybody know what the requirements are to own and keep a small plane in the US as a Canadian . Do I have to have a US license and does the plane have to be a US registered plane to be kept there all year? Thanks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKJCrhAdeDs A compilation of 10 to 15 second snippets my last two weekends worth of flying in and around IMC.. Amazing to me how much difference in weather conditions I experienced and I never was more then 20 miles from my home airport. Todays condition was...

I've been flying my 182 for the last 19 years and it's become just "transportation" and not "fun" anymore. So I'm thinking of buying an "airknocker" to fly for fun . Do any of you guys out there that have Aeronca experience have any tips or suggestions on what to look for in a pre-purchase for...

Anybody got a 214 service manual that I can borrow for a week. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable "rental" plus send a reasonable deposit plus shipping to get it. I freely admit...to blundering and misreading and then using the KI-211 pinout to wire the interconnect to the 170B. Here's some free...
