Last week my HSI Heading flag stayed up on startup and the 'Comp'ass 'Sys'tem Circuit breaker popped. The remote gyro power supply went out. A few days later (& many bucks lighter) I had a rebuilt remote gyro. Oh, well. It's all about money, I mean flying. I've since taken two trips, 3 hours...

I flew my (new to me) '87 A36 Bonanza at night for the first time recently and discovered a whine when the panel lights where turned on. The flood light switch / circuit doesn't do it and the rheostat for the panel light dimmer changes the frequency. Where do I start with the troubleshooting? I...

Agree that you have to get back in the air and it s/b w/ a CFI. My 1st post-crash flight was in a new plane as the previous one was destroyed. Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

If customs is listed as Monday to Friday (i.e. part-time) in Cancun, is it possible to arrive/depart on a Sunday? Also, anyone have any recent Cancun experience (flight to/from)? -- TIA, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

What do you do out there - buy or rent? I have need for 6 life vests for a flight to Cancun at the end of October. Should I rent or buy? TIA, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

Can an owner do this? TIA, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

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.

Thanks to all who took the time to look at my "mystery" airport photo. Seems the only mystery was on my end. It took less than 12 hours from posting for Paul Sisson of Litchfield Aerobatic Club to send in the correct answer. At least it's the correct answer in the opinion of several who...

Please understand, I'm NOT trying to begin/continue any kind of arguement. This is a serious attempt to gain understanding. As I've only been lurking around aviation newsgroups for a little more than a year, I'll readily admit a lack of understanding of the finer points of R.A.O "netiquette". ...

Does anyone know if a commercial operating certificate issued by Transport Canada is transferable to another company or is the only way to get it is to actually legally purchase the companies shares.

Anyone have any advice on purchasing a P-Nav. What sorts of things should I watch out for. Any thoughts on the gear reduction engines?

Any one have any sales advice on piston twins v.s turbo prop twins. I'm currently in the process of aquiring a charter buisness that operates 2 navajo aircraft. I've heard some people say that the days of the piston twin in commercial charter work may be coming to an end. Now I don't know if...

Hello everyone, Everyone knows that if you put in thousands of dollars for a solid college education, you'll reap the benefits later on. Is it also true for the FAA commercial license? If I put in the extra money to get a commercial license, can recoup that money (and them some) by starting an...

Can anyone who owns a Cessna 172 tell me approximately what it costs per hour to operate--fuel, oil, normal maintenance, engine overhaul fund? Thanks. vince norris

Well, in three days of flying a long cross country to West Texas from Wisconsin, my autopilot went nuts in the roll axis- wouldn't capture flight director or heading bug info, and just tried to do uncommanded turns. Altitude and pitch worked fine. Suspected a bad roll servo- could be driver...

As a follow on to Jay's previous post, has anyone attempted an "easy" or "obvious" repair project, only to do something that really screwed up the job and made it more expensive or time consuming to recover?

I thought about the winch system, but my plane weighs around 5,000lbs. Pulling on the tail tie down ring might just rip it off. There unfortunately is no way even four people could push it upslope on our ramp on the ice. I use a 10HP tug that goes under the nose wheel, and is big enough for a...
