Hi all. I'm about to become a 1/2 partner in a Cessna 182 and would like to purchase hard copies of manuals for the on board avionics. I've downloaded the files from Bendix/King and Garmin, but would like to purchase hard copy manuals for the Garmin MX 20, and B/K KAP 140, and KLN 94. Any...

First flight after annual, and the alternator light comes on over Lake Michigan in IMC- left alternator belt thrown, which was replaced at the annual. Never had any problems with electrics prior to this. Replace belt, light comes on with application of power or electrical load. Returned to...

Hi all, Was just reading the King Air article in this month's Flying and saw the price w/ the new avionics suite (why they went with Collins is beyond me, but that's another story). Just wondering if I'm the only one who did a double-take at the price. $5.8M for a KING AIR? Jeez...if anyone had...

I'm looking for a pdf of the Narco service manual for the AT50a transponder. Anybody know if there's one on the web? Thanks Dave

I want (need) a new prop for my C152. Sensenich has a 12-week lead time. Are there other sources? 2nd question: Anybody have any comments the Sparrow Hawk conversion?

Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences in the Foster LRN500 based on the part number. So far I have found P/N 805D0630-01 P/N 805D0630-11 P/N 805D0630-21 P/N 805D0630-31 mine is a -01, s/n 614. It does not have the mid-continent Loran chain, but does have outputs for remote...

I have a loose connection on my PA400 (the "record in" plug that hooks to my PDA for music). Does anyone have contact information for service on this unit?? I can't seem to find anything in Google. Thanks! -Robert

Anybody else have this great GPS? I just got the new updates with private airports and all, but it keeps crashing. I also was hoping to add weather to it somehow.

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

I know of two accidents. In neither accident was anyone injured but in both the plane was substantially damaged or totalled. The FAA sighted the owner operator in both cases for violations involving the aircraft logging. In one case they did not like the wording of the last annual and in the other...

Folks, I have a C-182 with an auto-fuel STC, which I've been operating on Mogas (along with an occasional fill of 100LL) for several years. Mogas being unavailable at my home airport, I use a pair of 6 gallon Gerry cans (plastic) to transport the fuel from a local gas station to...

I just heard from one of my suppliers that all orders for Autolite plugs have been cancelled by the maker and there will be no more.

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be). I would like to hear from those of you who have had a good experience with a plane purchase. I have the bad experience posts also. My guess is that the good will outweigh the...

How will the newly proposed law regarding the very detailed inspections of planes older than 25 years affect our flying? It seems that having to tear them down to that extent and perform those inspections on the spars on the wings and the tail surfaces is going to be very expensive. Also having to...

Is it legal to have your A&P install a "power port" (NOT a cigarette lighter outlet) in your panel? Does it require a field approval? I want something on the pilot's side that is more robust than a cigarette lighter, to power our yoke-mounted GPS. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder...

Howdy, I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder. Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts reporting again....

Probably one for AOPA..... Hopefully those that get avionic upgrades that include their nav take this posting to heart.... What happened to me could have turned quite ugly, and fortunately things worked out OK since I am here to post this. Did some ILS approaches over HKS. Perfect day for...

I'm in a position where I can't afford another (2) 360's for my twin - someone suggested putting 320's in to "apache-ize" it until I have more scratch...is this just crazy talk? People Up to 360's from 320 all the time, but I never heard of going down to them before - is it: legal, moral,...
