High time airframe question by
xyzzy
Assuming proper maintanence and a good airframe log/book inspection,
are there any concerns about high time airframes, like insurability,
etc? My partners and I are looking at a warrior with over 11,000
AFTT.

Toasted my engine by
Kobra
Flyers,
This was part of a post in "Selling my Garmin 296" and decided to make it a
separate post. Sorry for the redundancy.

In-Flight Engine Failure by
O. Sami Saydjari
Well, it happended. I have owned the plane (Piper Turbo Arrow III) for
3 months and the engine failed during climb out on Tuesday. Altitude
was 4400 feet. Luckily, the engine did not entirely quit and I made it
to an airport within 10 miles. TBO was 1000 hours away. Dissapointing!
When we cut...

Piper doors, why the passenger side? by
Nathan Young
First off, this isn't a post to argue the merits of one-door vs.
two-doors, so if you want to do that, start your own thread... :)
Why does Piper put the door of the plane on the passenger side? I
cannot think of one good reason. Would like to hear the group's
opinions.
OTOH, I can think of...

Compass trouble by
Road Dog
I took my Piper Warrior in for its annual and the mechanic
said that the compass card was missing and that he'd have
to swing the plane to generate a new one.
After swinging it, he claimed that he couldn't get the
E-W deviation within the minimum. So he suggested we
try "mu" shield (or something)...

What a Wonderful Morning by
Denny
Well, I just micturated away $58,868.13 into the loving arms of the

VOTE ...HTML or Plain Text??? by
Montblack
I was surprised by the acceptance of an HTML post in another thread. I, for
one, could read the HTML fine. Others said the same thing.
Has the time come for HTML in the newsgroup(s)?
My (change is bad - we fear change) vote is no HTML ... for now.
I'm being fuddy-duddy with my reason: I get...

JPI Data Encryption? by

Seems sometime last year JPI decided to eliminate the ability of it's
scanners to export data in the widely used CSV (comma separated fields)
format. When a unit is sent in for upgrade or repair they silently make
this change to the firmware.
The only thing you can use to plot your data is their...

Trial by newspaper by
Paul kgyy
I feel sorry for the SW pilots who went through the fence at Midway
last week. Now every edition of the local newspapers runs articles by
lawyers and journalists second-guessing every decision made on a
difficult approach - quartering tail wind, marginal visibility, fair
braking, short...

Left Mag Dead... After Annual??? by
three-eight-hotel
So I just got out of a $1900 annual, and stopped by, on Friday, to gas
the plane up for a flight to happen this week... I tried to start the
plane up (Cessna 172), and it never as much as sputtered. The battery
was well charged and it turned over, and over, and over, and over...
Never fired...

Skycatcher IFR? by

Does anyone know if the Skycatcher will be IFR certified? It doesn't

Best Single Pilot IFR Plane by
Charles Talleyrand
There must be people on the newsgroup that fly single pilot
IFR on a regular basis. These people have a schedule to make
and would rather not miss that schedule unless necessary. These people
don't have the need to carry many passengers, but just themselves.
My question is for these people...

Avgas price and the light plane ownership by
M
Anyone worries about what the rising avgas price to the light plane
ownership in the U.S? I have absolutely no doubt that the average
avgas price will surpass $5/gallon in about 5 years. We'll probably
see a significant drop of GA flying, along with a big drop of the value
of used airplanes. ...

Opinions on Cessna 340, 414 and 421 by
john szpara
I'm considering buying a plane, and have decided to go with a twin. I
understand that there will be more maintenance costs over a single,
but I like the safety margin of the second engine. I also like the
idea of pressurization, because we have some high mountains out here
on the west coast. It...
