The IO-520 in my Cessna 210 is running rough. It seems to run smooth at 1000 rpm but the roughness appears above about 1400. One cylinder is “cold” and apparently not producing any power. I pulled the rocker cover and found that the intake valve spring was broken. My mechanic and I...

The old wind-up clock in my Pathfinder has become sporadic at best. When it was below zero here, it didn't work at all. Any recommendations on a replacement? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

In another thread (about cold starting) it was mentioned that Alaskan bush pilots routinely drain their oil, take it inside, and heat it on the stove before starting in the morning. While this guarantees a warm(er) engine, wouldn't this risk damage to the engine from shock heating (assuming there...

Hi There, We have a 1966 mooney m20e. We're just in the process of putting in a noise filter so that it will hopefully reduce some of the static on the radio. I'm wondering if the filter goes between the generator and the voltage regulator.... or if the filter goes between the voltage regulator...

Well, my dry vacuum pump is getting a little long in the tooth (I've owned my plane for over 500 hrs now, and still have the vac that was in it when I bought it). I bought the plane used in 1999- a 1978 C172/180hp. The lit suggests that I'm living on borrowed time for a dry vac after about 500...

Hi, Is it ok to pull my Piper Archer by the tail hook back into the hanger? Does any one know if that will cause any damage? Regards Tarif Halabi C-GQGD

Totally aside from the technical/mechanical side of things....... Once a certified airplane has had the engine removed and swapped out with a Mazda rotary engine and aftermarket reducer drive, what steps are nessary to fly without the FAA crawling up my butt? I'm sure a regular A&P would run like...

I'm thinking of adding the GTX 330 transponder to get traffic on my 430. Has anyone done this and is it worth the price(what did it cost)? I fly mostly in the eastern US and believe that there is pretty good coverage here. Chuck

A simple question that I'm sure has been addressed in the past: The wires on my old Pilot headset are broken at both plugs. Can I just take this in to Radio Shack and expect them to sell me the correct plugs so I can cut and reattach? or do I need to be looking for something special? And if so,...

Anyone out there get their CDI overhauled or repaired? If so, would you care to share your experience on cost and facility? Looking at a KI-205 to replace my KI-201 driven by a KX-170B. Thanks, Marco

Today noticed the vacuum gauge starting to inch upward. Climbed from 5.0 to almost 8.0 in 5 minutes. DG and AI acting normal the whole time. Then....dropped to zero and the gyros obviously quit. I only have experienced 1 vacuum pump failure before and it just dropped to zero without climbing first....

.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on all airports free of...

Anyone have a copy of this sb? I need it, we're doing the annual on the apache... Thanks, Mark

Recently one of my partners reported that the compass (standard whiskey compass, not a vertical card) on our Archer was reading 20-25 degrees off of runway heading at departure. Today a new partner was up with an instructor for his sign off and reported the same thing. I hadn't noticed, but we...
