It's a problem in Bonanzas & Barons. Heated fuel vents are an option on some Barons. You can tell it's happening by noting the fuel gauges. They go UP! The bladder sucks up from the tank and deflects the outbound level sender when the vents are blocked. You need a plan to be on the ground.

The advice to climb is based on the idea that it's warmer above, which is an interesting theory. You could die getting up to where it's warmer. You should do an immediate 180 and get out of there. During your preflight wx brief, you need to have your radar turned on HIGH to any hint that there...

Has anyone else noticed that the new v4.0 software for the Garmin 196 adds "support for Obstacle database"? Does anyone know what this means? Sounds like a potentially valuable upgrade to part of my existing IFR flight bag. Hmmm...

Hi All, I'm looking for recommendations for a low battery warning voltage level. I was going to use 12.8V - is this liable to be triggered by noise/dips in the bus voltage? My guess is when heaters or motors kick in there could be a momentary drop due to high current that could trigger my low...

Just heard that a small aircraft busted the DC prohibited are, and they evacuated the White House and Capitol Building. Some poor ******* ain't going to be aviating for a while.

The New and Enlightened Federal Aviation Administration of the Bush Administration has stated on many occasions they want to run more like a "Business" and be more receptive to the airlines and the airline business model. Really? OK IF AIRLINES SOLD PAINT Customer: Hi. How much is your...

We are getting a brand new ILS 26 at KANE and I just downloaded the plate. The miss is what I expected to see and is a hold at the GEP "Gopher" VOR a few miles to the west. But there is also a hold depicted at the PNM NDB, which is a long ways away. That hold is not mentioned on the plate. I...

I realise it's only been released for a few days, but as I'm in the market for a non-MS sim, and as I have an older version that works just fine but needs updating so it can do real GPS, etc., does anyone have anything to say one way or another about ASA's new On Top 9? Thanks, Hamish

Last weekend I flew IFR Paine to Eugene. I filed V23, but was cleared to the west along OLM V165 UBG V495 CVO EUG. Similar routing for the return flight. I asked each controller (except Seattle Approach) for vectors EUG direct when able, but each controller said they needed to keep me on the...

I recently installed a Garmin GDL 49 to receive weather reports from satellite (Echoflight subscription). I was disappointed that we only were in contact with the satellite for 60% of the time. In particular, we were not able to get reports just as we needed them...as we were approaching IFR...

I just wanted to inform Seattle area pilots about a new school that started in Renton Municipal Airport. We are AcuWings, a family owned business. The reason we started the school is because we felt the void in Renton Airport for an alternative outfit. We currently have a Piper Tomahawk that is a...

On one of my $100.00 hamburger flights my VOR-Glideslope went in op. Worked fine until I landed then at take of it would not register. I visually checked the antenna, but every thing seemed to be OK. That afternoon I flew to my avionics shop for a check up. Of course my plane is due for the 24...

I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport. He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black females and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's scary. I never thought the...

Will a wideband aviation antenna, that receives across 50 MHz up to over 1000 Mhz, be useful for VHF and UHF TV reception as well as aviation frequency reception? Can such an antenna be used by multiple devices listening to different frequencies at the same time? -- Will westes AT...
