any of the northwest islands in the Bahamas?

instruction/checkout, but if there are...

MD26-28 400Hz inverter - not very reliable by
Michael
It states that it is "PMA approved" - what does this mean and what is
required to get such an approval?
It means that a federal bureaucrat has decided that the design and
manufacturing system meet FAA standards, and thus the part can be sold
as an aircraft component.
Since the FAA standards...

ice melt by
Jim Burns
I've always had a well founded and severe fear of using any type of ice melt
product around our hanger entrance. As a farmer, I know what ammonium
nitrate, ammonium sulfate, potassium chloride etc. are and what they can do
to your equipment. Recently our FBO started selling an palletized ice...

FOLO: Replacing fuel cut-off valve with non-a/c part??? by
Michael Horowitz
Back in December I posed a question about replacing the fuel cut-off
valve in my 47 Tcraft with parts from HDepot. There followed heated
discussion. The outcome was we repaired the valve and re-installed it.
I don't have a lot of confidence that this will last 10 years, so the
issue is still open...

where the bird flipped over (C172). The repairs were preformed as
needed and the plane has been flying for many years.
Should a club consider this plane (even...

Moving the Annual Up by
Jay Honeck
For several years now I've taken advantage of the rule that allows you to do
your annual on a 13-month (rather than 12 month) basis, by simply finishing
the annual on the 1st of the following month each time.
Now it seems this procedure has come back to haunt me, as my annual this
year is...

How to plan the future panel? by
Andrew Gideon
I've been tasked by my flying club http://flyingclub.org/ with a job I've
been trying to do informally anyway: design our "panel of the future", and
draw up a plan for getting from our current state to there.
The mandate is pretty wide, though I get the feeling that an electric AI is
more likely...

Pointer please; test checklist by

My Tcraft has been disassembled, work done on the landing gear, and
the engine overhauled. Before flying there are a lot of obvious things
to be checked but I'd like a checklist of some kind to back me up.
Also, I expect to remain VERY close to the airport until I'm
comfortable the engine is...

MD26-28 400Hz inverter - not very reliable by
Tim Shoppa
Peter wrote:
I've had two of the above fail in under 3 years.
I would guess that the failures are related to adverse voltages
coming in or an adverse load on the output. The electrical
environment of a small plane can actually be much more abusive
than a modern car, because of the wide...
