Does anyone here know which planes you could choose if you wanted to fly with 4 passengers and luggage from Canada to Europe? Do you have to go over $500K to get a plane that could do that? I've tried doing research but can't find answers. Would you and can you refuel in Greenland then Iceland?...

A friend of mine who is an experienced commercial and airshow pilot, but who is not too internet savvy asked me a question today which I couldn't answer - but I am hoping that someone here can. He is currently looking to sell a brand new custom built aircaft which was built with one specific goal...

Hello. I just discovered a White Lightening, still unbuilt, about eight years old. I know nothing about this aircraft and would appreciate some help. Determining value, build time, UK certification, etc etc. Anything you can help with. It could be for sale.........to you! Nice 2+2 seater,...

While taking my new to me'62 Cessna 172 with an O-300 (with about 75 hours on it SMOH with Millenium cylinders), I decided to start leaning as I should on my last flight. During the next preflight I noticed a whitish soot around the exhaust and on the cowl just adjacent to the stack during the...

Threw the belt again after twenty minutes in IMC on the way to the avionics shop. Destination was VMC, so elected to continue rather than turn around or land, and the other alternator was handling the load easily. Avionics guy fixed the radar (took three guys around 30 minutes). Belt...

After a few weeks, I called my mechanic, since I had not received a bill. (See previous threads for background): Immediately after the last annual, the plane threw an alternator belt. We went through three belts, and the last one has been in for six hours and worked fine. During this time we...

First flight after annual, and the alternator light comes on over Lake Michigan in IMC- left alternator belt thrown, which was replaced at the annual. Never had any problems with electrics prior to this. Replace belt, light comes on with application of power or electrical load. Returned to...

Welcome to the junk mail list... Michael "NW_PILOT" wrote in message ... Well it is about time the FAA processed my aircraft registration It now shows that I am the Registered Owner

I can understand why pressurized aircraft need static ports, but why do unpressurized airplanes have them? I wouldn't think the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the airplane wouldn't differ by that much. (When I open the alternate static port in my C185, the altimeter...

Passed on from a friend of a friend.... For those needing a reason of some kind for buying an Aircraft I have read many posts on the web site from members and on MMAIL who are thinking about owning their own aircraft and looking for ways to offset the cost of ownership. I have heard many reasons...

I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic. It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there? I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that are getting success...

Last week I flew my Grob from San Jose (RHV) to Torrance (TOA) and back. Total time was nearly 6 hours, but burned only about 30 gallons of fuel. The book says 9 gallons per hour at 75% cruise. I've noticed this before, that it never burns nearly as much fuel as I would expect. Another thing...

Hi all; Checking into my first plane purchase, and have a question for you that I'm not sure of. I found a plane. I have not seen the registration cert (haven't looked for it). The N-number is *not* in the FAA aircraft registry database.

As many of you may recall, we had the Skycraft landing lights installed in our 235 last month. During our first night flight with them last week we popped the 5 amp circuit breaker for the left side panel lights. This had no effect on the landing lights, which continued to work perfectly (and,...

how long till the vor/ndb system is decomissioned and everything goes to gps? dan

I've noticed quite a few Cessna 310s posted for sale recently on ebaymotors and controller.com. This got me wondering if there is a reason why there are so many on the market (beyond the obvious high fuel and insurance costs for twins). Are 310s impacted by the spar ADs that the bigger twin Cessnas...

I've done a little prep and found some potential wireless hotspots within about a mile or so of the North 40. Here's my list, in case it's helpful to anyone else: Locations on Koeller: from the N40, go W to US41, then N to Koeller. Fairfield Inn Oshkosh 1800 S Koeller St ...
