Of course, we have a new squawk shortly after coming out of the shop. Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction? Here's the scenario with our 1974 Piper Cherokee Pathfinder, with a 530 hour, normally aspirated Lycoming O-540-B4B5 engine: 1) Flying to Janesville, WI today. ...

I won't be getting it for a couple of years and whatever I picked would be an older plane. It will be for (or slightly before) my 50th birthday. I wanted to ask what the group thought about a Cherokee 140 as a first plane? In talking with my fellow CFI's most of them think I would find the...

Did you ever notice that fixing one thing often seem to break something else in the old airplanes most of us fly? We just had our new Directional Gyro installed today (just six weeks after our Attitude Indicator failed), and lo and behold, our autopilot works again! The gyros erect immediately,...

The O-320 in our C-172 was professionally recently professionally overhauled (at 2300 hours and 32 years). This included an STC to 160 HP, new millennium cylinders, new crank (a story, there..), new cam, new carb, a repitched prop, and a powerflow exhaust. We're past break-in now, and the plane...

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...

Aircraft Spruce has a product listing for the Approach Sport Hub Avionics Wiring Systems http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/approach1.php The Pro Hub for IFR is $600 and the cables aren't cheap, but it seems like once this is installed, avionics additions/upgrades could be done fairly...

Don't know if anyone who reads this NG could help, but I thought this contained the proper amount of "aviation-related" content as to be acceptable on the group. Apologies if I am wrong. Thank you, Gary Kasten ************************************************************ You can read the story...

CJ, I've put up a preliminary map showing the new Puget Sound TFRs - and the old ones for comparison - up on the Pacific Northwest Flying website. Direct link he http://www.smartgroups.com/vault/pnwflying/Public/tfrs/newoldtfrs.html (the images are somewhat large to show detail, sorry to...

Hi! Does anyone know of a good European web dealer of Yoke mounts for PDA's? I plan on using my Pocket Win 5.0 cell phone "i-mate JasJar" with the PocketFMS programme. I now need to buy a yoke mount for it, so I guess I need some sort of adjustable universal PDA Yoke mount.

The reason is that the bureaucracy and incompetents feel threatened by the trend. It is my opinion that people go the N-registered route so as not to have to deal with the bozos who have gone so far as to tell UK pilots what airplanes they are skilled enough to fly, and that they are doing it...

anyone using one? what are your thoughts and impressions?... thanx richard colorado

I would be interested in getting opinions about backup systems for a vacuum pump failure and/or AI failure. I have a 172P with a single vacuum pump system, standard instruments otherwise, and a Garmin 430. I am most concerned about having a good backup if I lose a vacuum pump or AI in IMC. I have...

I keep hearing "the market for Light Twins is soft." Anyone have any tales to tell? Are used Light Twins not selling these days, or are they selling for what some would consider "bargain" prices, or both? Did the economy's shake-up knock quite a few people out of the Twin tree - people who were...
