Effect of suction on DG by Jay Honeck
In the last couple of months we have replaced both vacuum instruments (DG and AI) as well as all vacuum hoses. Immediately after this was done, I noticed our suction was lower than before. It would top out in the 4.8 region -- at the very low end of the acceptable scale. At the same time we also...

Whether to Lean or Enrich by jls
Not simple. Questions abound: depending on type engine, type induction, whether turbocharged, field altitude, density altitude, formula gasoline (Some people love autogas), and much more. For example if your plugs aren't gapped correctly you're going to have a serious problem sooner...

What constitutes "logs"? 1st. time buyer. by Paul
I am investigating the purchase of an a/c. The "logs" are looseleaf sheets in a binder. When people speak of a log I envision a journal with sequentially numbered pages. Entries are made in the pages and there is backup substantiation in the form of invoices, yellow tags, etc. Should I be...

GTX-330 Question by smackey
I'm thinking of getting a GNS 430 and the GTX 330 put in my plane. I have a couple of questions that I would really like some answers to: 1. My aero radio people tell me that they think the GTX 330 display is always up on the map. I.e., I can't declutter or eliminate it if I want to, say while...

Oil Analysis Results Question by Michael 182
TIO-540 in '79 TR182. I had a top overhaul 68 hours ago. Changed out the mineral oil at 18 hours and just changed the 15-50 oil at 50 hours. Chromium is 30.4. I suspect that new cylinders will cause a higher than normal Chromium for a while, but is this unusally high? Thanks, Michael

Burning out a Magneto Drop by O. Sami Saydjari
I just received a booklet from TCM called "Tips on Engine Care" (a very good book...available from TCM's website...http://www.tcmlink.com/). On page 12 it says "Never but never attempt to "burn out" a magneto drop with ground run-up. This 'time-honored' procedure succeeds only at the expense of...

S-TEC 60-2 requires re-trim after altitude hold? by Peter R.
Speaking of the S-Tec 60-2, I am transitioning to a Bonanza V35B that is equipped with this AP. The previous owner demonstrated an idiosyncrasy with the AP that I would like to correct, if possible. Using the AP to hold VSI, the aircraft is in a climb. Upon reaching the assigned altitude, I push...

Withstanding Peak Temperatures by O. Sami Saydjari
OK. I have a basic question. Why is running an engine at peak temperature (as in Rich-of-Peak operation) not good for the engine? In the scheme of things 50-100 degress cooler than peak temperature (where many folks recommend the engine be run) does not seem significantly lower in temperature...

New Overhead Vents for Early Archer by Bob Chilcoat
As a followup to my earlier post about replacement overhead vents for our Archer. See what I did with the plastic eyeball vents I found. They look great. I posted pictures on alt.binaries.aviation.pictures under the same title. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways)

Color of spark plugs by john smith
We just did the annual on our 1945 Aeronca Champ. Took the plugs out to do the compression test. On inspecting them, noted that they were black, sootie. The AI said that is normal for autogas in a Champ. Honeck always says his plugs are clean when he runs autogas. Is this the difference beween...

Vertical card compasses by Dan Luke
If you have one, how do you like it? Do you ever notice that it does not return to the same indication when the airplane returns to the same heading (hysteresis error)? IOW, if you turn from 090 to 180 and back to 090 according to the HI, would your VCC come all the way back to 090, or would it...

S-TEC 60-2 audio warning by Julian Scarfe
I'm confused. I've spent many years flying a Mooney with a KFC200 autopilot that has an audible disconnect warning. We now have a Twin Comanche in which we installed an STEC 60-2 a couple of years ago. Recently, testing the 60-2 pre-flight, I noticed that there was no audio warning when the...
