I'm not sure that the subject accurately portrays the topic about which I'm asking, but I couldn't arrive at a better term. The person that flew the club airplane before me reported a magneto problem in the squawk book. When I tried to start the plane the next day, I found it unwilling to start. ...

Hi all, Was just reading the King Air article in this month's Flying and saw the price w/ the new avionics suite (why they went with Collins is beyond me, but that's another story). Just wondering if I'm the only one who did a double-take at the price. $5.8M for a KING AIR? Jeez...if anyone had...

I have tried to get the current AD's for small airplane engines on the MyPlane web site. When I click on the Small Airplane Engine AD link, it leads to Large Airplane Engine AD's. Has anyone had the same problem? If so, where else can one find the current AD's for the 0-470 series- as in Cessna...

Here's a few more. Starting to look like a plane now. http://12.151.5.4/172/2003_10_17/ Wayne

Anyone know of any? Phone numbers....website....Google doesn't yield much

I am interested in getting a checkout in a Cessna 180 or 185. It does not have to be solo, with an instructor is fine. If anyone knows of one, the closer to Colorado the better please email me at Thank you

I posted this to the mailing list for the club to which I belong, and I thought people here might appreciate it too. When I joined the club a few months ago, a major motivation was to learn more about the "operations" side of aircraft. To my mind, this meant maintenance. As a renter, that side...

* This is an outgrowth of the hot starting fuel injection thread For those of you who have JPI or EDI fuel flow monitoring: a) how many flights did you make before it was "calibrated"? b) how much variance do you see from flight to flight? b1) do you fly approximately the same altitudes/power...

I am trying to find my father's Beechcraft Bonanza, call sign N4252D. Likely built late 50s / early 60s. He sold it ca. 1974 after developing heart disease. Would love a picture. Please email. *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today.

Has anyone experienced both "P" leads in a D2000 shorting out against the back of the case? It appears this may have happened in a C172 (1979) as there are arc marks at the connectors. Looks like a gasket should have been install but none is there? Any comments appreciated.

I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds of aircraft types so it's worth a look. Does anyone know of any other good sites?

I started a thread about a week ago in which I passed on something I was told by AOPA two or three times. You can be in violation of your private pilot privileges if you make a flight solely to accommodate the needs of your passenger, even if you accept no reimbursement for costs. A number of...

Anyone have any experience with the GNC-300XL IFR GPS/COM? Does it work well? Do you like the user interface? How is the screen? I want to have GPS IFR capability in my 172. What else will I have to install to get IFR cert for this unit? Thanks,

I'm looking at potentially buying a TR2 or Lynx. Some I have seen have no wheel pants and I'd like to have those. Gear cleanup (wheel fairings and other mods) seem to have a very good effect on this type. I can't find costs on the Web. Anyone with an idea as to the cost of these additions? ...

Hello - I'm starting to purchase parts one-by-one to build a mogas fuel transport trailer, and noticed something about the pump, and filters. The 12v Fill-Rite transfer pump I'm looking at has a tag on it that reads something like: "Warning: Not for refueling of aircraft". And, the spin on...

Anyone want to guess the medium term price trends for a C-150? By medium term I mean the next five-ish years. My guess would be "more of the same" meaning increases of a few percent a year with mild year-to-year variations. The only effects I can see are whatever's left of the upward...

I live in Ottawa, Canada and this is my first winter as a PA-28-140 owner. My airplane does have copper battery cables (cable ?) and an engine heater but the previous owner warned me; in really cold weather, below (-10C/-23 F) it won't start without a battery boost. The battery boost is in addition...

Does anyone out there have any opinions about the PZL Koliber (the later day reincarnation of the Rallye 150 ST)? I've heard of an engine mount AD on the older Rallye's, but does it apply to the newer Koliber's? Any other thoughts or opinions on these aircraft? Anything else to watch out...

Sometime back I got tired of fighting Aircraft Quality Instruments trying to get a Gyro Horizon that worked, so I purchased a new RC Allen Horizon. This was April of 2002. Guess what--- the horizon failed in flight last week. The warrantee was one year. Upon removal, I found a part rattling around...

Did he have a dangerous maneuver reference in the dancing post? Maybe 2.6 hours of "stick" time??? That'd give me an adrenaline rush :)
