Pilot headset comparison - Lightspeed Zulu vs. Bose X by
Kevin Wessell
I have the Zulu and the Bose. I like my Bose but Zulu wins hands down.
Whereas, both have good noise reduction, Zulu is noticeably better in
blocking out the noise. The Zulu has the bluetooth that syncs with the
cel phone. Bose doesn't. Very handy when making a call from the ground
or low...

Ok, you avionics wonks, here's one for you. KNS-80 problem...
Around the time of installing the GPS, the groundspeed on the
KNS-80 began reading 00 KTS under all conditions while flying
BUT when pinged on the ground--in the aircraft--immediately reads
the correct value even with the test signal...

Pitot heat element failed. Options? by
Peter R.
Just this past week my Bonanza V35's pitot heat element failed. I had a
mechanic look at it to determine if the cause was power/wiring related or
if the element itself had failed.
Of course, it was the element itself that had failed, which apparently in
the Bonanza's case means a new pitot...

Chelton vs. Garmin - what am I missing? by
Jim Carter
Lots of chatter about Garmin's, but no one talks about the Chelton
avionics. Looking at TAP recently it seems the prices are very close to
the same for similarly equipped panels. I understand that Garmin appears
to be cheaper to piece meal together and that the Chelton appears to be
an all or...

Wash, polish, wax? by

Spring is almost here (ok, I probably just jinxed it) and we're wanting to
really clean up the Aztec before applying a good base coat of wax for the
summer.
We've got a little oxidation and some fuel streaking, but mostly just hanger
dust, belly oil, runway grime, tire, brake, and exhaust dust to...

windshield wipers by
tony roberts
When I was in flight school I asked why GA aircraft don't have
windshield wipers and was told that it's because the prop blows the rain
off - really - that's what they told me.
Now I fly lots in rain. This past 2 weeks I have flown in more rain than
I ever wanted to see - and the prop definitely...

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...

Palm PDA software for aviation by

Piper Arrow IV fuel pressure by
MC
Does your fuel-pressure gauge fluctuate noticibly ?
Mine vibrates at about a 3Hz rate between the
middle and bottom of the green-band.
Engine runs fine...
Turning-on the electic pump reduces the amplitude of
the swing and stablizes it at around mid gauge.
Is this 'normal' ??

The cost of war by
Jay Honeck
Do you even know what the definition of Fascism is? Do you realize how
oxymoronic using the phrase "Islamo-Fascist" makes you appear?
Actually, that wonderfully descriptive term was coined (or, at least,
repeated here) by this group's very own Don Tabor, DDS.
I think is quite nicely sums up...

Owner replacement of Nav/Comm Radios by
endre
I am reading the FARs and am having a hard time figure out whether I
can slide out my old radios and have them upgraded and put them back
in. Slide in and out only no wiring or changing the shelf itself. Or
do I need A&P inspection?
