I have been looking for a decent, nice size color screen GPS for under $1,000. Just recently the Lowrance Avmap 2000c has gone on sale for as little as $699! I called one of the dealers (Gulf Coast Avionics) just to check if it is a sale or a "close out" and was assured it is just a temporary...

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...

http://www.whiteindustries.com/ White Industries lists engines with flange runout. What does flange runout tell about the engine? It seems some prop strike engines have a larger flange runout reading than others, and the larger the flange runout, the lower the price. Why? Thanks.

Using this flight planner has become a regular part of my preflight prep. My membership expires at the end of this month. I sent in my renewal about a week ago. I noticed on Thursday I had lost access to the flight planner application just after getting a renewal reminder pop-up and I still...

Looking at something like a 182, What does it cost to have the A+P Remove and replace the engine/prop? It's easy to find overhaul costs in Trade a plane etc...., but how much more does the shop labor add? (Assuming that not much else is wrong with the aircraft?) Paul

Despite using windshield cleaning spray and lint-free, cloth wipes designed to clean aircraft windshields, I may have scratched my windshield in several spots. Not large scratches, but these appear to be those small ones that will show up when the sun shines through. Damn! It was a relatively...

There's an auto upholstery shop in town that is very well regarded and while talking with him regarding my car I got to wondering if I could pull out my Cherokee seats and have him leatherize them. FAR 43.100 states pilots can: (11) Repair upholstery and decorative furnishings of the cabin,...
