I'm in the midst of having these lights installed, (they are the cut-in-the-leading-edge landing lights) and we come to a fork in the road with regards to the wiring. The kit comes with a split L/R on/off switch, and two 10 amp circuit breakers. This means that my existing landing light switch...

Can anyone tell me if there is any hangar space available in south east florida? Dave N415DK

We've got two updates to our Rec.Aviation "Rogues Gallery" of photos thus far this month: - From Montana, Michelle P has updated her listing with some new pix from her fire-fighting gig. See them he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery_i_-_p.htm#P - From New York, Lee "Rosspilot" Ross...

Last Saturday my brother/co-owner and I had planned on taking our fresh-out-of-annual 172 up for a good workout at our home base in Lincoln, IL (Logan County - KAAA). I'm a 14 hour student pilot on hiatus. I got sick of paying to fly in other people's airplanes. My brother, Brad, got his ticket in...

When doing steep turns, I noticed that there is a little resistance to pitch changes on the yoke. It seems it binds a little in the bearing through the panel. Does anyone have a suggestion for the type of lubricant I could use on this? Do they make anything for this purpose?

Somebody explain to me why ANR headsets squeal when you are descending from FL180 and lower in an unpressurized aircraft. Flightcom is modifying their Denalis to deal with this but they say all ANR's do this. ???? Juan

Okay, the Cherokee 140 annual is nearly finished. Compressions are 80, 80, 80, & 78 over 80 after 5 1/2 years and 650 hours of mostly autogas use. So far everything looks very good except for two things. My A&P IA was inspecting the propeller spinner back plate and was turning the prop real slow...

Is there a website I can go to find out the TBO and overhaul costs of any given engine? Right now, I am curious bout the GTSIO-520-L on a Cessna 421C. -Sami N2057M P.S. I thought I already posted this message, but it did not seem to show up. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

I was thinking about upgrading to a Cirrus if I could scrape the money together. They're really nice, if you haven't checked one out. An acquaintance of mine told me that the insurance on these aircraft is much higher than comparably priced singles because of the ballistic parachutes. Apparently,...

Thank you for the excellent info on parts availabilty. On a similar topic, are there any maintenance trouble spots on the older Navions? I was told that the hydraulic system is leaky or troublesome. Is this true, how bad a problem is it and are there any other areas of concern?

I belong to a really good flying club (http://www.rochesterflyingclub.com/) - we've got 5 aircraft ranging from a Piper Warrior (PA28-161) to a Piper Lance (P32R-300). I fly about 25-35 hours a year, and wish I could fly more. The majority of my flying is weekend trips up to Canada to see my...

Anyone know if there is any problem in buying a battery operated "home" CO detector and mounting it under your seat or somewhere inconspicuous? What is the difference between a "home" unit and an "aviation" unit? Now before you get crazy and call me cheap...I know that the credit card pill type...

A student has an Archer II that has a red arc painted on the glass of the tach between 2150 and 2350 RPM. The POH makes no mention of a red arc. I'm thinking that either the tach came out of an Arrow (which has a red arc in this range) or some A&P confused the Archer with an Arrow and painted it...

In the US we have a set of aviation regulations all made up by the FAA. In Canada they have a different set of rules all made up by Transport Canada. They don't blindly follow the American FAA system. When in Belize I walked through the capital to the general aviation airport and talked to a...

I was reading on http://150cessna.tripod.com about owner manufactured parts. I was wondering if I could make my own interior parts? For example change plastic parts to aluminum, or titanium such as the plastic instrument bezels, mike holder ECT. I have access to a really nice machine shop, CNC...

Hello, group I was looking at mounts for my Skymap IIIC GPS I am wanting to use either a Gimble Mount or a Pedastal Mount for mounting my Skymap IIIC in my 150M, This will require 3 to 4 small holes to be drilled, Will this type of mount require a field approval? I Just dont want to buy somthing...

The 150 I had pre-buy'ed today has an O-200 with 940 SMOA but this overhaul happened 24 years ago. Mechanic has pointed out that Continental also specifies a time limit of 12 years on overhaul and thus this engine is technically runout. Do I have much cause for concern?? I know engines are quite...
