Using an aircraft's registration number, one can look up on NTSB if it has been involved in accidents. Is it possible to find out if an aircraft has ever had its registration number changed, to make use it hasn't been involved in an accident under a different registration? I'm looking to buy a...

Alright, I realize that Oshkosh is so very last week, but with my drive home to Southern California and going back to work it's taken me until now to weed through all 1992 pictures I took. I weeded them down to 539... obviously not all of them are interesting but at least they're broken up into...

I just received my official denial letter of my request for a refund of the road tax on the autogas I run in my plane. In Virginia, highway fuel taxes amount to $0.175/gal and aviation fuel is subject to $0.05/gal. Previously, the difference of $0.125 was refunded. I believe they are taking the...

Hello, I presently own a 1964 C172 with an O-360 A4M engine (Air Plains conversion) and am in search of a cutaway view showing THIS engine (or similar). This could either be a digitized or hard copy drawing/picture and I am willing to pay if need be. Please email to: with...

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

I am quite sure that one can offer an aircraft for hire with an instructor under part 91 with an engine that has gone beyond TBO. However, someone I know called the FSDO in California and asked, and I was astounded when he was told that they told him if he was going to do instruction for hire the...

A friend is helping with the reinstall of a KY97A used as a base station at a local airport. He is unsure of how and why the unit was wired as it was found. He reports that the unit is wired through an edge connector (standard aircraft rack mount - Bendix King). Does anyone have access to this...

We recently upgraded the avionics and instrument panel, which was a great improvement. However, I'm having a problem transmitting under high power. I get a crackly static (during transmittion only) when over say 20" MP and 2500 RPM or 25" MP and 2200 RPM. At the start of the attempted...

Hey all... awhile back I posted querying on spark plug replacements, but I have no actually looked at the plugs I currently have. I thought they were Champions, but they're actually Auburn ER400 SR-88. From the chart he http://tinyurl.com/arqcv (warning: PDF at lycoming) those plugs should...

I'm looking to buy one. They are around, but the market is small enough tat determining market value is difficult. Compared to a similarly equipped, same-year unmodified 150, what should the price difference be? Ari. -- Elections only count as free and trials as fair if you can lose money betting...

I know that a medical is not needed to fly a glider. Does the same apply to motorgliders? Juan

I just watched the DVD of Gann's movie (based on his book, based in turn on an actual event) last night. I recommend it highly. It's a good story, the B/W photography is superb, and the aviation element is about as faithful as it gets. There's also a mini-biography which is interesting as well...

An aircraft I just purchased has a panel mounted II Morrow Apollo 820 panel mounted GPS. The unit is fully functional and might just come in handy some day. Is there anyplace I could get an updated database? Thanks Paul

IF this happened as described... (implemented fully), it would be a buyers market.. and there would be a small niche for qualified ferry pilots running the "plane pipeline" Dave Peter wrote: As posted here already, the UK government is proposing evicting its foreign registered GA aircraft:

Does a special issuance show up on the airman's registry web site? A chap I know needs a special issuance for diabetes. I bought a plane from him some years back and had been letting him fly it from time to time. I got a bug and checked him out on the Airman's registry. There it said his last...

I had my plane painted recently, he did a decent job except for allowing his masking to slip on all windows and windscreen. This allowed the stripper to damage (cloud) spots on the plexiglas. It appears to have penetrated the plastic so the damage may be deep rather than a surface problem. Now -...

Anyone out there have a remote channeling kit (#03312-0501) for a Narco DME 190 they are willing to part with? If so email me and lets talk. (It is the module that attaches to the back of the tray, not the receiver) Jim

Has anyone spent any real time in the middle row of club seats like those in the Lance or Saratoga? I know most owners end up in the pilot seat, but I'm wondering how comfortable those middle seats are, facing backwards and not being able to recline at all? Anyone ever complained on a long...

My #2 VOR is the older analog King head feed by a KX-170B. It likes to get out of adjustment. The local radio shop has told me I should get the screw driver and adjust it myself off the VOT. If you remove the set screw that holds the knob on, there is an adjustment screw behind it. However, the...
