How scary is gasohol? by Charles Talleyrand
My auto-fuel-stc says very clearly that one cannot use gasoline with any type of alcohol in it. I understand that beyond the reg itself, the main reason is that fuel lines can swell if they come into contact with alcohol cutting of the flow of fuel to the engine. I'm going to obey the reg...

looking for design guidelines for a flying school by Sierra
I'm currently working on a design of a new controlled domestic aerodrome. The runway is supposed to comply with ICAO code 3C specs. Aircraft like Fokker F27 Series, Fokker F28, BAe.146 Series, Dash 8 and Dornier 288s could be operated. The primary purpose of the airport is for domestic passenger...

Stupid question about autogas by Paul Folbrecht
If I buy a 152 getting the autogas STC appeals to me a lot for the obvious reason (economy). What I'm wondering about is exactly how the pilots that are running autogas are getting it to the airport. I can't imagine the typical answer is much different than "carting it there in cans" but even a...

Pre-buy inspections by Paul Folbrecht
I am now getting close to the point where I will be seriously in the market for an aircraft- most likely a C150 or 152. I know that I'd be a fool to buy any airplane that I haven't had inspected by a qualified A&P that is not, of course, affiliated with the seller. But, let's say I travel a fair...

Building chasing airport lights -- Attn: Jim Weir? by Jay Honeck
Today a pilot-guest had the coolest idea for the side-entrance to our lobby: "Chasing" lights recessed in the drop-ceiling tiles, leading to the main lobby area, that look just like the "rabbit" lights that lead to the approach end of a runway! (Background: Over half of our guests come in the...

Cost of engine rebuilds by Brendan Grace
I've been pricing engine rebuilds and the costs from 15,000 to 20,000 seem ridiculously high. There doesn't seem to be that many more parts or labour excesses to explain the prices. Anyone have any insights into were all the money goes? I am really quite shocked at the high costs for such a...

Need Source for Slip-On Foam Yoke Grips by Carl Orton
I've seen slip-on black foam grips that you can use on the skinny mid-60's Cessna control yokes. I'm not talking about the leather wrap covers - these are like an open-cell spongy foam that just slips over the yoke "horns". I've searched King, Sporty's Aircraft Spruce, the archives, all to no...

Loss of Mode C and Transponder Reply by mikem
Lost Mode C and Transponder reply while in Class B airspace the other day. After landing, was looking at all of the simple obvious things, like transponder not seated in tray etc. Little voice told me to look at the antenna, too. Seems the whip broke at the base and just fell off. It is mounted on...

Rules on what can be in a hangar by Brett Justus
Our airport commission has talked about going around and looking in hangars to crack down on "volatile" liquids being stored within. I think mainly they're concerned about people keeping fuel for use in heaters, where there is a more likely ignition source in addition to the liquids being...

#5 cylinder not firing by David R.
We have a 1979 Cessna 182RG with 1350 hours since overhaul. 6 weeks ago, we began to notice the engine to be rough on the right magneto during run-up. Over two weeks, it became increasingly difficult to burn it off by leaning during the run-up, until one day when it became impossible. ...

Glareshield renewal and TSA by Roger Long
I stopped by the shop yesterday for what I thought would be a quick check on the progress of the annual. The fellow had stopped working on the windshield replacement and moved on to other things in hopes I would stop by and discuss the appalling appearance of our glareshield. I had to agree that...

Cold Starts by Viperdoc
Is it worth lugging long extension cords to plug in the Tanis heaters for my Baron if it's going to sit outside at 12 degrees for two to three hours after a flight? I have cowl plugs which may help a little, but is it really a problem? The oil will be well circulated, and the battery is in good...
