Can an approach-certified GPS unit be installed but certified only for enroute IFR use? WILL a shop install an approach-certified GPS unit to enroute IFR certification only? Is an annunciator panel required for enroute use? Is an OBS resolver required for enroute use? I'm trying to minimize the...

It would be most convenient for me to arrive on Monday, the day before the show officially begins. I could arrive around noon. The plane and I are IFR capable, so weather, unless truly horrible, should not be a serious impediment. The question is, what are the chances that the GAC area will...

Hello, Do I need certified engine monitors for a certified plane if I keep the factory ones installed? I was asking this to someone at our airport today and they thought that I could install, for example, one of those fancy engine monitors you see in experimental airplanes, as long as I had the...

I am considering purchasing a 1/3rd share of an LLC which owns a Cessna 206. The LLC is owned by three partners each with an equal share. The only other asset of the LLC is a bank account with maintenance reserve funds. My question is this... How does one go about purchasing a 1/3rd share of an...

The pitot heat has failed on our Aztec. No heat, not even warm, no amperage draw. Circuit breaker, switch, leads, and ground all check ok. Now here's the strange part. We get correct voltage across the leads and we get continuity across the terminals on the tube. No continuity from...

Anyone know about this little 2 place twin. I would love to try and talk my Dad into buying a kit. It looks as if it will be the cheapest twin ever. 2 place side by side. 2 80hp motors. 3 1/2 gph, and a total of 7 gph. Looks like it will be the cheapest what to build Multi time. Put one of these on...

Just purchased an aircraft with a SKYNAV 5000 installed. The datacard in the unit is from Feb 2000. I believe the final update was from 2003. Anyone know where I can get the datacard updated or buy a datacard with last update? Magellan and Jeppesen no longer support this product. Any help is...

I have an S-tec 55 in a 1999 Piper Archer III. Last weekend I was in moderate rain in a climb out of 2000 feet (900 AGL) heading for 6000 feet when all of the sudden the nose pitched down. I pushed the two drains located in the cockpit when the event first occured and it did not solve the...

I'm confused about how GPS units get updated databases. A panel might have a GPS unit feeding into a multifunction display MX-20 or Avidyne or something. Does one need to update both the GPS and the MFD's databases to stay current? Doesn't this get expensive and annoying? Also, must one input...

Went to Mobile Downtown Airport this morning to fly my airplane out of harm's way, and ended up leaving it there. I saw the line guys putting the bizjets in their hangars and, with minimal begging and pleading, got them to stuff '87D in there with the Citations and Lears. The building is supposed...

It would be interesting if other people would post what their annuals have been like. I'll start. I own a Cessna 150, which I have had for several years. This year my annual .. It seems some Cessna 150 owners have been finding cracks in the vertical tail attach bracket. It's a piece of metal...

Things I still need to see at OshKosh: 1. I haven't been to see the Warbirds yet. I lived there as a teenager. Really neat to walk up and see a Spit... 2. Haven't been to the flight line for the airshow. Go down and sit about Row 70. That 's right where all the warbirds get airborne and good...

I have a C-150 and a Garmin GPS Pilot III. Right now it's mounted on above the interment panel near (but not too close) to the compass. I would like to mount it on the yoke. Does anyone have any experience with yoke mounts on a 1966 Cessna 150? Will normal yoke mounts work well? Must I really...

I just had an factory overhauled engine installed in my Piper Cherokee 180. The shop had given me an original estimate of 20 hours of labor, but when it was done they billed me for 33 hours blaming it on problems they had with various fittings that they had not expected. Does anyone have any...
