Using 100LL in a Rotax 912 Engine by
Kevin McCue
Be sure that you have the updated gears in the prop reduction. As a result
of the engine oil circulating in the PRSU, there was a service letter about
lead build up on the gears causing spalling when running 100LL.

Airport names by
Wally Samuelson
Hi everyone-The thread on airport identifiers is getting a little long, so I
thought I'd start a new one.There doesn't seem to be any standards for
naming airports, except for what the local pols dream up.
JFK is obvious of course, and O'Hare is named after a Medal of Honor winner.

Landed HPN During Blackout by

I was returning this afternoon from the first flight that I've been
able to make since the end of July due to a busy work schedule and the
Omega Block low clouds and daily strong thunderstorms we've been
experiencing here in the New York area for the past few weeks. So after
I landed and buttoned...

TKM radios by
Peter Gottlieb
A Cheetah I fly has a couple of these radios. The radios have been to the

New kind of helicopter? by
John Ross
I live in San Diego, and besides flying, I like seeing what is passing
through the sky when I am grounded. I keep a pair of binoculars by my back
door, and go running out when I hear an aircraft passing overhead.
Several times over the last few months, I have heard what sounded like a
small bizz...

Airport Identifier Logic by
Jay Honeck
In another thread, someone mentioned that only 13% (or something like that)
of the possible 3-letter combinations are currently used as airport
identifiers. Given this fact, why in the world did they start mixing
numbers into the scene?
For example, why "C89" (for Sylvania Field, in WI) instead...

Portable oxygen systems by
C J Campbell
I am thinking of getting a portable oxygen system to use on the 206 and
other aircraft that I fly. These hot summer days with high density altitudes
in Idaho and Wyoming leave me gasping. Maybe it is just age.
