Annual overdue by a few days by
Larry
Am I allowed to fly my plane to a near by airport in order to complete
the aircraft annual even if it is a few days after annual due date? In
other words annual was done on 4/29/07 and now we are into May. What
do I need to do to get permission and how long can this extension be.
Would this be...

Radio buzz by
Robert M. Gary
I have an MX170 radio that I use to pick up ATIS, etc. Recently it
will occassionally have a buzz in it that is so loud you cannot hear
the transmission. It will buzz on all freq, then later in the flight
it will go away. This unit is no longer supported so I'm wondering if
there is any chance this...

HID Lighting by
Mike Rapoport
Has anyone installed Xevision HID lighting on their airplane under a 337
approval? How do you like it? Any issues getting approval? I landed my
Helio in the dark yesterday which worked out OK but I would prefer a
reliable landing light!

Turbo engine maintenance by
John Doe
I'm in the market to purchase a turbo aircraft...(specifically a 1979 Turbo
Lance)
Can someone tell me their experience with the engine maintenace in relation
to having to top overhaul the cylinders? I've heard from some owners that
you should only expect about 800 or so hours on the cyliners...

Engine over TBO at purchase by
DHead
Hi group.
I am interested in buying a Sundowner with 2035 TT E&A.
The owner (actually the broker) offered to allow $5K off the asking price to
have the engine O/H'd.
I am a student pilot and very much want this particular airplane, but I
don't think that $5K off a $14K O/H is reasonable.
The...

What to buy at OSH this year? by
Jay Honeck
With OSH 2005 fast approaching, the blood is quickening, and there's a new
spring in my step. The Big One is almost here!
However, as we do every year, we're starting to look at Atlas -- our 1974
Pathfinder -- with a jaundiced eye, looking for deficiencies that need
filling, either in his...

Key Locks -- Part II by
Jay Honeck
After reading the other posts about key locks, the responses brought another
question to mind.
My key ignition switch works very hard, and the key can be removed in any
position. It's hard to push it in and keep the starter engaged (it's one
of those turn-while-you-push switches), so we usually...

Are asking prices really as unrealistic as they look by
xyzzy
Been scanning airplane ads for a while and just recently started looking
some of them up using AOPA's Vref service for members.
According to that, most of the airplanes I see advertised are way
overpriced, some by significant margins.
Are the AOPA Vref prices too low? Or do people have...

Mixture--science vs witchcraft? by
Douglas Paterson
Still getting to know my new baby (1990 TB-20, normally aspirated 250hp
Lycoming IO-540). I imagine my question here must apply to most non-turbo,
non-FADEC pistons (though I gather there's some sort of altitude compensator
on some airplanes' engines?). I live in Colorado, which means routine...

aerobatic C172? by
gt
I own a 1960 Cessna 172 with 2500 hours on the airframe. It is not
rated for aerobatic flight, but the positive and negative G loads that
it is approved for far exceed the normal G forces associated with a
well-executed barrel roll.
Has anyone heard of this maneuver being performed in a 1960 172?

Stupid question about autogas by
Paul Folbrecht
If I buy a 152 getting the autogas STC appeals to me a lot for the
obvious reason (economy).
What I'm wondering about is exactly how the pilots that are running
autogas are getting it to the airport. I can't imagine the typical
answer is much different than "carting it there in cans" but even a...

Tanis heaters by
cpw
I live in northern lower Michigan where we have real winters some years
(not this one yet). My partner and I own a 2000 Cessna 182. We are
currently debating the proper use of the Tanis engine heater. It has
been our practice in the past to plug the heater in after a flight and
leave it plugged...

Compass swinging? by
Roy Smith
I've got AC 43.13-1B, which describes the procedure to swing a compass.
What I can't find is the bureaucratic stuff -- who can do it (any pilot?),
and what paperwork follow-up is required (airframe logbook entry, or is
just making the new compass card sufficient?).

Bad Stories about Plane Purchases by
Jon Kraus
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 unfortunately have had a bad (expensive
or otherwise)experience with a plane purchase. I will also post for good
experiences. ...

Overhaul 14 year old prop? by
Jay Honeck
Our constant speed prop is getting long in the tooth. It was last
overhauled in 1991, when it received new blades.
My A&P says there is no reason to O/H or replace a prop so long as it meets
specs and doesn't leak. Since we fly a couple of times per week, internal
corrosion shouldn't be an...

My Annual by
Charles Talleyrand
It would be interesting if other people would post what their annuals
have been like. I'll start.
I own a Cessna 150, which I have had for several years. This year my
annual ..
It seems some Cessna 150 owners have been finding cracks in the
vertical tail attach bracket. It's a piece of metal...
