Hi all, Just let me ask you a question. Do you know how many 747 SPs VIP like this one : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/433919/M/ are still flying in the world ?

Does anyone know of a one-day course on non-fuel-injected piston aircraft engines? Sort of an Engines 101? Six-cylinder preferred; Continental 0-300 ideal. Advanced Pilots Seminars has an extensive course on piston engines but it's far more advanced than I need. I'd like someone to walk me through...

Need critics - new European general aviation website --------------------- Hi all! I would like to invite you to provide some feedback on the new European general aviation website. Currently we offer the following information: - aircraft sales (free classified ads) - flight training in several...

I see on AOPA's web site that the FAA has blown off AOPA and all the other industry groups on DRVSM implementation. Does not getting your biz jet or turboprop outfitted with this equipment mean you won't be able to fly it above FL 290 or only at the new intermediate levels? -- Roger Long

My Cherokee's wing-walk has a few oil stains after coming back from an oil pump impeller gear replacment session with my mechanic. Regular washing doesn't touch it. I tried hitting it with Windex and that didn't lift it. I've currently got some wheat-based kitty litter lying on it and...

Having just purchased a 1976 Skyhawk, I would like to buy service and parts manuals for both the airframe and the 0-320. What is the cheapest practical way to find these books. Mike Z

So I've taken on a project for my club, as a part of my desire to get more involved in the maintenance side of things. I'm to seek out options for new and improved instrument lighting for one of our aircraft. The club Maintenance Chief provided me with some information he'd already collected. ...

I have used a Microflo for 4000 hours now. I have found that unless you leave power on for about one minute after setting FOB, the gal remaining, or the fuel used, I can't remember which, will not be correct. Yes, it is EEPROM memory, and does not need power to hold data, but seems to need power...

Six weeks ago my attitude indicator gave up the ghost, after slowly dying over a period of several months. It's been replaced with a re-built unit that's working fine. Two days ago my directional gyro abruptly failed. It worked fine flying into Pella, and it didn't work at all flying out. The...

Just a guess but EEPROM can be very slow indeed. Depending on the exact part number, it may not even be possible to change a single location in the chip. This means that you have to read the entire contents (or a large part) of the chip, change the value you need to update and then write it all...

Snarly Charlie, the 182, has the classic "Cessna drip" from the fuel vent when the tanks are filled and the hangar gets warm. I've tried everything I know to stop it, but all I can do with all the mechanical fixes is slow it down. I'm getting ready to patch the asphalt under the drip and paint...

("Yossarian" wrote in the Catalina Perep thread) My first trip I was that low too, but now my FBO insists on a continuous climb to the middle of the channel for better glide distance if your engine quits. 4500' in a 172 is only like 7 miles glide. I wonder how many people have actually...

This is a test. It is only a test. If this were a real emergency, you would have been instructed to tune to a computer with official information. This is only a test. -- Al Gilson 1964 Cessna 172 Skyhawk 1970 Volkswagen Convertible
