I've got an oil leak on our Aztec left engine, IO540 C4B5. The hydraulic pump on the left engine has a drain/vent hose that is leaking engine oil. It is definitely not hyd oil. I had a new garlock oil seal pressed into the accessory drive adapter housing thinking that this was how the oil...

When a title search is done, the company often offeres to provide a history of accidents in which the a/c was involved. Googling for 'FAA Accidents" I see what appears to be a wide range of choices. Anyone know which db contains the information showing what accidents a specific a/c may have been...

My plane was involved in an incident back in 1986, long before I owned it, and I would like more information about it. Does anyone know where I can find a detailed report of accidents/incidents? Jim

I'm working my way through "On Glorious Wings", a collection of short stories edited by Stephen Coonts. In at least a couple of the stories from the first part of the 20th century, there are references to airplane mechanics as "Ack Emma". I think the stories where these references appeared had...

Am wondering if there's a design flaw in the ACK E-01 ELT or just an anomaly? Our unit went off by itself today because the battery in the remote panel mount indicator died, triggering the ELT, and I'd like to know if anyone else has had this happen? If a dying battery in the remote ***always***...

Flyer, Ok...you all got me. I've been reading several posts and a very frequent acronym is being toss about quite liberally that I have never heard before. It is "AMU" and "AMU's". It is usually used when speaking about money in some way. What the heck is this? Atomic Mass Unit, American...

I just pulled up the cloud tops charts and see one labeled FL720 over SE Nebraska/NE Oklahoma/SW Missouri. Is this for real?

AD 2007-26-09 is basically a rewrite of two older AD's - AD 2002-09-08 and AD 77-12-06. It affects Hartzell "Y" shank aluminum blades with blade serial numbers D47533 and below. If your blades have a serial number D47534 or higher, your propeller is not affected by 2007-26-09. The serial numbers...

I am somewhat new to flying and considering buying an airplane. But with all the ADs/SBs/etc. out for all kinds of airplanes, I was wondering if there is somewhere online I could go plug in the type of airplane - C182, and serial number - 18281234 and get a list of all outstanding ADs/SBs/etc that...

Anyone know how to search the web for AD's on an aircraft? On an engine? On a propellor? How about service bulletins?

What's the best way to search for all the ADs applicable to an airplane?

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...

Looking for opinions on adding a wing leveler to a Cherokee 180. Something simple just hooked to a heading bug would help me & my partners with our IFR ratings we got last year. What kind of cost / weight is involved? Is it more hassle than what it's worth? --

I'm looking at a plane that has a KX-155 radio without the glideslope. Can I add a glideslope to it and get another head, or is that something that has to be built in to the radio from the factory? Any info is greatly appreciated! Chris

We have a 2-way partnership in 43H. We are seriously thinking about adding one last person and in talking to them they asked about what happens if their job took them out of town and they had to get out of the partnership. What is the usual procedure? Do you get an appraisal and divide it by...

We have a Garmin GNS430, UPSAT SL30 NAC/COM and Sandel EHSI. I'd like to add a second course deviation indicator/GS for when Murphy shows up and the Sandel quits at the worst possible time. A couple questions for the avionics gurus on r.a.o: - How much is this going to cost? There's the cost of...
