AIRNAV not publishing fuel prices... by Victor
.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on all airports free of...

Apollo Flybuddy Loran Replacement by Terry
Now that I have a worthless Flybuddy in my panel I'm trying to decide the best way to replace it. I've used a Garmin 296 as my first choice for navigation but it was always nice to have the "Loran" as a back-up should the battery fail on the Garmin. I have considered getting another Garmin, ...

Building chasing airport lights -- Attn: Jim Weir? by Jay Honeck
Today a pilot-guest had the coolest idea for the side-entrance to our lobby: "Chasing" lights recessed in the drop-ceiling tiles, leading to the main lobby area, that look just like the "rabbit" lights that lead to the approach end of a runway! (Background: Over half of our guests come in the...

Piper headliner (was: simple and cheap tricks for your plane) by Prime
We have a Cherokee 140. I want to know if anybody knows the simple and cheap trick to clean our headliner. It is actually in fine condition, but it has a LOT of brownish spotting on it, apparently caused by moisture (you know, condensation, leakage, etc. - not that OUR plane leaks!). It looks like...

questions on business use of my personal aircraft by Bob
For those of you using your plane for business... 1. What is the tax deductable rate for hourly use of aircraft (e.g. for cars it is $.36 a mile I believe)? 2. Is it better to own my aircraft personally (to prevent the aircraft being owned by the company in the event of a lawsuit) and then have...

First emergency by EventHorizon
I thought you might all find this story interesting. Me, I'm 53 and have been flying since 1988 with about 1000 hrs. My partner is a CFI and we've been in a Cherokee 140 partnership for about 12 years. We have a 1974 Cherokee Cruiser, which we normally keep well maintained (!). About a week...

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...

MoGas Long Term Test: 5000 gallons and counting... by Jay Honeck
Yesterday I noticed that we had pumped more than 5000 gallons of mogas through the Mighty Grape. This represents something like 60 complete fills (our plane has four gas tanks, totaling 84 gallons), and around 350 hours of flight time over the last 2.5 years. (See:...

Senate Bill S.786 could kill NWS internet weather products by FlyBoy
As a private pilot, I make frequent use of the NWS's Aviation Digital Data Service (see 1). I especially like their "Java Tools" graphic presentations of METAR, TAF, and AIR/SIGMET data. Senate Bill S. 786 (see 2) could well kill such NWS weather presentations in favor of private sector...

Rules on what can be in a hangar by Brett Justus
Our airport commission has talked about going around and looking in hangars to crack down on "volatile" liquids being stored within. I think mainly they're concerned about people keeping fuel for use in heaters, where there is a more likely ignition source in addition to the liquids being...

Franklyn vs Continental vs Lycoming: which is better? by Malcolm Teas
Gee, how's that for an incendiary topic? grin In my ongoing quest for a plane, I've narrowed down the types I'm looking at. Currently it's down to Stinson, Pacer/Tripacer, Cessna 170, 172, 177, and 180, Maule M4, Musketteer, and Bellanca Cruiseair. Naturally I need to reduce this list a bit...

Radio "Squelch-type" Noise by Kensandyeggo
Have an unusual problem with a new radio, an ICOM panel mount. Nothing wrong with the radio, but I'm getting a squelch/static noise at certain times. It is worse when both mags are on and when the engine goes from about 2200 rpm down to idle. It is less on one mag and practically non-existent on...

Spark Plugs: Champion vs. Unison by Jonathan Goodish
I've Googled for this and poked around other places, but there doesn't seem to be much comparison data on these two products. I've always used Champion plugs (massive electrode), but now that my plugs are fairly worn and I'm in the market again, I'm curious about opinions on the Unison Autolite...

Continental IO-520A operating data? by Michael
Does anyone out there have power setting and fuel flow data for a Continental IO-520A engine? These were installed on some 1970's era Bonanzas, and someone whose opinion I respect mentioned that the power setting and fuel flow data in the aircraft POH were based more on marketing requirements than...
