The EPA has taken the first step in the rulemaking procedure to potentially ban leaded in aviation gasoline. It is he http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#documentDetail?R=0900006480ae298f It is pretty clear where They are headed. They say "Currently, lead emitted by...

Does anyone else have their Garmin 396 connected to the audio in their airplane? If so, do you get terrain warnings every time you approach an airport to land? I do, but Garmin doesn't seem to be very interested in helping. I've exchanged several emails with their tech support. They don't...

Hello all. I've mentioned my flying club a number of times, and... A limited number of memberships are available in The Paramus Flying Club, which has been providing affordable flying in Northern NJ since 1955. Today, the club spans two airports and flies four aircraft: two 180HP Cessna 172s, a...

Hey all. Ran into something a bit odd yesterday. I was doing some taxiing around the airport, and had to get out and check something. To facilitate starting in just a minute, and since I was the only one around, I shut it down with the mags, rather than the mixture cutoff. To my surprise, right...

I am sure this has been beat to death many times but I have not seen it so here you go again. I have just agreed to buy an aircraft, pending the few details that always crop up. It happens to be a low wing plane, but all my time so far has been in a C152. The low wing appeals to me as the lack of...

I now own a PA28R201T, Piper Turbo Arrow III. It is a great plane (although, as some of you know, I have had more than my share of "challenges"). At altitude it cruises at 170 knots. Cost to operate is around $90/hour (figuring maintenance and such). My range requirement is 660nm with 45...

I've got somewhat of a liking for Ercoupes and its derivitives. They seem to be inexpensive to purchase, and somewhat cheap to fly and maintain. For a fairly new pilot, who just want to fly for the fun of it, are they a good bet?

Is there one? I would like a brighter landing light -- but I ain't paying $800 for it! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Hello community, I have a question I think some of you may be able answer: in most(?) reciprocating engine installations, the left magneto seems to have a impulse coupling, enabling the magneto to produce a spark strong enough for ignition even at low (starter cranking) RPM's. The question: does...

I am thinking of fitting K2U gap seals on my Archer. Are they worth the cost ? Thanks for all input Jim

For those of you who do not have experience with etanol as fuel here it goes. Engine compression is a little bit biger than a gasoline engine. It burns a little bit more fuel. The big problem is that ethanol is corosive. It will eat even carburators specially treated for ethanol. What I was told...

....in anticipation for Oshkosh? I can't wait much longer, or I'll bust! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com

I am a female student pilot and the other evening I saw a commercial about "Alaska's Bush Pilots...The Real Deal". It was a documentary but I can't find it anywhere. Anybody know where I can purchase it? They said it was in HD so it may not even be available. Help!

I've just bought a '62 Cessna 172 with the Horton STOL kit and madras droop tips and have a question: My dad took it up for the first time (it's in WI, I'm in NC) and was curious about if these modifications change the "V" speeds in any significant way...? Apparantly there is no change in the POH...
