Maintenance/Hangar Costs by
aml
I am wondering if somebody out there can give me some real world numbers
on how much their maintenance costs are for a Cessna 340 and 414. I
don't care if it has the RAM conversion or not. A good friend of mine is
starting a charter company and wants to have numbers to put in the
business plan.
I...

Is a "yellow-tag" really necessary? by
Andre
Ok, let's say my TSO'd Attitude Indicator (AI) in my Cherokee goes
belly-up, and my friend just happens to have one he removed from his
machine a month ago as part of a complete panel upgrade. We both KNOW
the thing works fine and would solve my problem.
What's the ramifications of just having it...

Cessna 172H by

Hi everybody,

Cessna 172H. It has original paint and interior and looks as though it just

Updating KLN 94 - Parallels Mac OS X by
Andrew Andersen[_2_]
Hi
Has anyone been successful in updating a Honeywell Bendix-King KLN 94
(or 89/B) database via "direct cable connection" from the computer to
the KLN94's serial port using an Intel Apple Mac running Windows under
Parallels? The Mac doesn't have a serial port so it is necessary to use
a USB...

Mooney M20 K on Grass ? by

Do you think that Grass is ok with a M20K or it's dangerous ?
Well ... it's not dangerous, but it might be expensive :-)
You can operate a Mooney off grass. Lots of people do. However
you really want the smoothest possible grass, which is fussed over

Cessna 172K Hawk XP startup procedure? by

starting the Continental IO-360-K engine
The TCM fuel injected engines are sweet, pleasant, docile
and simple to start, as opposed to the Lycoming fuel injection
which is simple cold but can be a miserable fire-prone bitch
to hot start.
The TCM fuel injection is simple:

CO mystery - any ideas? by
Andrew Gideon
Our Cessna R182 is getting CO in the cockpit. We've now had three different
shops look at it multiple times, all to no (complete) effect. They've done
things like resealing the firewall, the gear-wells, the exhaust, and the
like. But still we get CO.
We've swapped CO detectors around between...

Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial? by
Andrew Gideon
I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic.
It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent
temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there?
I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that
are getting success...

Mounting "portable" avionics by
Andrew Gideon
Our club aircraft have GNS-430s and Strikefinders, but I'm looking at
adding some additional capacity. Long term, I suspect that ADS-B plus an
MFD is going to be the way to go. But ADS-B coverage is a little light
right now, so I'm reluctant to have members spending money today for such
limited...

Evaluating high-time airfames by
Andrew Gideon
My club is purchasing another 172. One of the choices we've found - and
otherwise nice airplane - has racked up 10,000 hours total time. Most of
the other aircraft at which we've looked have had TTs of something less
than half this.
Are there special considerations for an airframe with this much...

Pricing flight hours by
Andrew Gideon
I'd like to acquire the available wisdom on pricing flight time (though I'll
forgo standing on a single leg for now {8^). This is for a club, but I'm
sure it's the same problem for a partnership or even a single owner. The
only difference is that a club has multiple aircraft, but we price...

DGs and Autopilots by

How "particular" to an AP are DGs?
We're looking to replace a DG in an aircraft that has an Cessna
Navomatic 300A (I think it is called) autopilot. In the not too distant
future, we'll be upgrading the AP (probably to an STEC unit, likely to the

Issues around de-ice on a 182 by
Andrew Gideon
One of the members of my club has proposed that we add TKS de-ice to our two
182s. Apparently, such a system is to become available later this year.
My reaction at first was negative. After all, in our near-NYC location, the
utility of such a tool is limited to a few months a year. Surely we...

Q re Instrument lighting upgrade by Aero Enhancement: anyone with experience? by

The club to which I belong is upgrading the instrument lighting in one of

All was going well. We ultimately decided upon the panel overlay product
