It looks like the Challenger skidded off the runway and crashed into a warehouse at TEB. Isn't this the same kind of plane that crashed on takeoff in Colorado? It looks like the plane remained intact so hopefully the passengers and crew are...

Contemplating a Lancair to downsize my six seater to a four seat. Seems, though, that the Cirrus SR-22 is rather more popular than the Columbia 350. Can anyone shed some insights on these two side-by-side? Thanks,

I've contemplating buying my first plane. C182 is almost perfect for what Iwant to do with the plane. alas the last few flights have had some significant overwater legs. CRQ-AVX-SBA I also want to be able to comfortably return home after dark. Thus I was thinking about a light twin, something...

I am interested in obtaining information about what is involved in placing a hydraulic pump on the right engine in a Piper Aztec F airplane that just has a single hydraulic pump on the left engine. Specifically, who makes the kit for this and what are the approximate hours needed to install . I...

Aviators, My wife and I flew to Williamsburg (JGG) in our 177RG on Sat. and stayed until Sunday. On base at Williamsburg I noticed that the airspeed was really high. I raised the nose and pulled some power. I had 20 degrees of flaps in and that is what I usually land with. On final the...

I'm looking to purchase a Narco VOR Nav 10 or 11 in working condition. I'm rebuilding a Grumman AA1B-0298 and missing the VOR head...I would like to replace it with the VOR that came out of it to keep from rewiring. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had an interesting experience the other day. To some degree I was testing the theory that a local Class-C facility would invariably vector VFR aircraft outside the lateral boundaries of their airspace. I've seen this at a few different airports where I transition through with flight...

Does anyone know what size fuse is used in the clock circuit in a 172H. This fuse is located in a holder by the battery box. POH only shows fuse and no ampere rating. I would guess 1 or 2 amp?? Thanks, Mark

My engine operating manual (for my Piper Turbo Arrow III) strongly discourages pulling the power back and doing a quick descent -- it warns of engine-killing shock cooling. Sounds reasonable to me...but it (and my airplane manual) does not really seem to say how best to do a fast descent when you...

During the annual of my 1963 Cessna 172D the A&P discovered a one inch long crack originating from the rear rivet line on both one flap and elevator. He says there is a Cessna approved repair procedure to replace a portion of the skin and no need to replace the whole part. Can someone direct me to...

I run a Motion LS800 for my EFB. I use a DC 12V to 19V power converter to power my LS800 since I have a 12V aircraft system. To minimize the number of wires, can I use a single wire to run +19V from the power converter to LS800 and connect the ground from power converter to LS800 thru the airfram...

Why are fixed-pitch props on PA-28s indexed to the 10-4 position from the front? a) To help hand propping? b) To minimize vibration? c) To improve performance? My money is on (a) but others disagree.

Everyone, I'm interviewing for a job in Austin, TX and am looking for details regarding airparks in the area. I've found a few on the internet but would like more info, especially regarding commute times to the SW Austin area. We currently live at an airpark (K48V) in the Denver area and love the...

Hey again. I have a new TKM Nav/Com (Michel MX385) in a 1982 C152. The radio is great, clean, lots of volume. The sidetone, however, is very faint, almost a whisper, and it's making me nuts. On a rare occasion, while I'm transmitting, the whisper blasts out for a brief second, and returns...

AOPA warns that someone is trying the scam of spamming pilots saying that MBNA needs for them to verify their account info. These mails are not from MBNA. Do not click on the link.

Hi, All; Have looked at some a/c for sale, and have found one I'm interested in. The bird has not been flown in over two years, and is out of annual. The owner said that he would have an annual done before quoting me a price; guess he figures it will be worth more as a result. This was one of...

I did some checking around my area today (thanks www.100ll.com) about what the fuel prices are, and was surprised to learn that my home base (KTYQ) is charging $4.47 (the highest in the area), and that includes our based-on-the-field discount. That is up around $1.00 from a little over a year ago...
