Starter question by A Lieberma
Went flying today. Go to crank the engine for start, nothing. Turn the key, got like a jiggle of the prop. Turn all electrical things off, figuring the battery drained, and then started just the alt and bat, same thing, jiggle of the prop. Tried once more, and got the prop to turn and fired...

Overhaul time.... by A Lieberman
Well, decided to make that move. I managed to get 2040 hours out of my engine in my Sundowner, and now have another cylinder acting up (both plugs getting "wet") at slow idle. I just had a cylinder put in (ate an exhaust valve) last month, so instead of nickle and diming my expenses away in this...

Prop Balancing Question by A Lieberman
Past couple of flights, found a screw that was loose on the spinner and actually lost one in flight. A&P replaced them, and said during preflight, check them. If they work their way loose again, need to get the prop balanced. Logs show no maintenance on the prop, so I am sure it's well overdue...

Electrical issues question by A Lieberman
I realize that lots of theories may exist, and trouble shooting is a crap shoot from afar but I am wondering, what would cause a full discharge indication when I put my landing light on. This started shortly b4 I had my radio put in, and when I flew it back from the avionics shop, on the short...

Oil weight question and cold weather by A Lieberman
I run aeroshell 15W50 in my lycoming 360 AK4 engine. I am planning a trip to Ohio the second week of November where the weather forecast is for upper 40s low 50's during the day and 30's at night. I plan to say a week. Do I need to adjust my oil accordingly, like get an oil change with...

Out of annual.... by A Lieberman
and back in the saddle, but not without a little excitement *smile*. 30 hours later, $1,700 less in my wallet and new wheel bearings to show for it, I decided to take a short hop from KMBO (Madison, MS) to KJAN (Jackson MS) which was a whole 9 NM to pick up a passenger who was coming in on...

"Bounce" those bugs away... by A Lieberman
We get a ton of "love bugs" down here in my part of the world. I don't know the scientific name for these things, but they sure do make a mess of anything in their flight path. A co-worker of mine said that Bounce dryer sheets will help you clean the bugs. I figured, nothing to lose, if it's...

Sticky DG and DME distance question by A Lieberman
Couple of questions. Went up to practice some ILS approaches. While being vectored for my approaches, my DG kept sticking through the 270 heading. First time on my initial approach and the second approach. Third and fourth approaches, DG acted normal, though seem a little off compared to the...

Pitot Static 411 413 followup post by A Lieberman
Well, I finally got my plane to another place to get my .411 and 413 pitot static / transponder check, and it went from bad to worse..... First person inspecting said everything was fine except for the VSI not being hooked into the static system. I take it to the new place (where I had it done 2...

411 413 inspection question by A Lieberman
Unpleasant surprise on my .411 .413 check. Person doing the check would not certify the inspection. He said that the VSI is not connected to the pitot static system. I am the first to say I am clueless about "systems". He said I would have to take it to a certified repair place to get it...

Sundowner Wing Flaps by A Lieberman
..... dont retract "on their own". Beech Sundowner. I will be talking to my A&P tomorrow, but just curious if anybody knows whether I am talking major expense or something simple like a spring that pulls the flaps up that came loose in the innards of the wings. A gentle nudge on the outside and...

Extra slow flight - Ground speed that is! - Video by A Lieberma[_2_]
Windy today so figured it would be a good day for "slow flight" 20 knots on the surface so I was curious what it was above my head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kyjc7y1aAI For safety reasons, I did not go to stall speed on the airspeed indicator since my hand was not on the throttle for...

ILS approach KJAN with ATC communications - Video by A Lieberma[_2_]
Under VMC conditions figure to knock out some approaches. As you can see from the ATC transmissions, it really does pay to make a face to face visit to your local controllers. It really does make it much more "personal" over the radio putting a face to a...

IFR flight to the practice area with ATC COMMS - Video by A Lieberma[_2_]

VFR flight to Meridian Key Field, Meridian MS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRrAtUkYtqg Pop up VFR flight following requested. ATC and intercom communications included in whole video.. Thought it was strange that KMEI tower would ask me to report 3 mile left base when they had radar coverage....
