Hello My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify. It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that 's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we just aren't sure.

I had an interesting discussion with other pilots about converting my Piper Cherokee 6 to all electric. This would basically require replacing the AI and DG with electric AI and elec. HSI. So, then, there would be no use for vacuum pump. But, one pilot said that the certified elec. AI only...

Our King KT76 transponder has gone down, but I have a KT76A ! A friend has advised that a KT76A is a slide in replacement for the KT76. I doubt that he is correct, but I am sure the knowledgeably guys and gals on this net will know the answer. Assuming that I can't use the KT76A I would appreciate...

Hey all. I posted a week or so ago about low power in my Cherokee, but the signal-to-noise ratio was low with all the things we've tried in the past. We're basically at the point of asking if mismatched hydraulic lifters could cause chronic low power. The overhaul was done before we bought the...

Can anyone tell me what kind of airplane this is? The photo is make in Indonesia, city: Semarang. I think its make between 1935 - 1940, but I'm not sure Greeting from the webmaster of the Semarang Photo Archives www.semarang.nl Semarang Photo Archives www.semarang.nl

Hello, I'm just reading up on HSI's and I notice some planes have HSI's that are not slaved. I know this means i'm supposed to check it every 15 minutes or so to make sure the HSI and the compass jive. I guess I should still do that even if it was slaved... but what I am wondering is if you can...

I was looking at sat photos of Port Aransas and was curious about camping there. there is one airport by the city and another on the beach a few miles north. It the one north useable? Can you camp at both? Thanks dave

Help! I tried recording the Nav/Com audio to my Sony camcorder in a c172. The gain is so high it just sounds like saturated noise. I basically wired from the co-pilot's headset jack a cable to the sony 'mic in' jack. Has anyone here successfully recorded a flight with clean audio, and if so, how...

Hi all, Thinking of buying a MiniDV camcorder for use in the aircraft to record instructional sessions. Does anyone (Jim Weir, perhaps?) know how I can (easily) connect headphone output audio (thus incorporating radio and intercom audio) into a camcorder microphone input? Thanks for any help,

Thanks for the note. I spent about $100 for a dingus that connects the cell to an intercom, it sounds like this works just as well for about $75 less! (Legal wrangling aside, of course... I'm sure you only call using 1.9GHz frequencies anyway) Mike Noel wrote: Just thought I would pass this...

I need to propose a reinstatement of our company's policy or allowing employees to fly private aircraft on business. I have a copy of our old plan which was closed down because it was too hard to administer given the limited number of pilots that qualified and used it. I'd appreciate those among...

Admittedly it was mostly hail, but there was some snow (sneaux for Darryl) mixed in with it. www.rstengineering.com/photos Jim -- There are only 10 kinds of people in the world.

We just finished driving from San Diego to Tacoma WA. I had planned to bring my VFR Tri-Pacer down to Brown Field near San Diego California. I found the entire state of California from Bakersfield or so all the way up to the border, Oregon, and to a lesser extent Washington to be covered in...

Here's some good news for California based aircraft owners: AOPA GETS HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT CLARIFICATION FROM BOE At the request of AOPA, the California Board of Equalization (BOE) has clarified recent changes to the property tax exemption for historical aircraft. This exemption is available to an...

A recent thread on what a person with an FCC license would have to do to install/calibrate/repair/adjust radios led me to do the research that I generally wind up doing once a year when this thread comes around again. Let's talk about the plain old airframe mechanic ("AM") and the feller with the...

One finds many 20+ year old aircraft advertised with engine time = airframe time, both in the neighborhood of 1000-1600 hours. Now, it is my undersatanding that aircraft engines have a calendar TBO as well as a tach TBO. however, prices for these aircraft do not seem to reflect engines that are...

Just got my Exemption paperwork and it includes a new requirement for "Certificates of Attendance" for last year, I didn't get anything like that at the events, is this a retro requirement for last year?

Does anyone know how to find the location in the cabin where the sound levels are the least bothersome for dogs? I'm assuming it's center aft (I have a 4-place plane) but don't know if that's correct. Maybe on the floor? And what frequency range is most bothersome for them?
