Los Angeles area airports by Kevin
I am thinking about buying my first airplane and am seeking some advise about where to base it. Burbank is the closest airport to me and where I did my primary training, but I don't know if there are any affordable options there. Whiteman and El Monte are about equal distance from my home. Of...

FBO (Mercury Air) doubling hanger rent to run off GA at BHM.......is this legal? by TripFarmer
When federal dollars are involved at an airport (BHM) can an FBO do practices like this to discriminate against GA? There are no other t-hangers at the airport other tan the ones this FBO (Mercury Air) has. As a business person I would think they can do what they want to do, but wondering if...

J-3 Checkouts/vacations by Dave
I fly a Gulfstream 3 and am looking at semi-retiring next year. I plan on getting a Piper Cub, and offering a package vacation which would include a J-3 checkout, sunset boat ride, and a week in a condo/house on or near the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. There would be other goodies offered such...

Getting the bug for a new plane by Gerry Preston
....and wondering if anyone here has bought a factory-new plane recently. . . I bought a new C-172S in December 2001 out of Cessna factory inventory, through a local Florida dealer. The dealer wouldn't budge off MSRP, but Cessna incentives amounted to about $7500. I've enjoyed the plane but want...

hangar fire extinguisher by [email protected]
I see a neighbor's hangar has two conventional fire extinguishers on the wall. Not a bad idea, I'm sure. But for potential hangar fires are halon still the best or are the conventional extinguishers just fine?

When Weather Diverts You. . . by Patty
It's part of flying, and there's nothing you can do about it. . . perhaps. You're trying to get to your destination, or maybe you're trying to get home. You look at the weather and no matter how you plot out your time, direction of flight, and other options, you're staying put! Blessing or...

'Hot' cylinder after overhaul? by Tony Cox
Since a major overhaul about 60 tach hours ago now, I've noticed my #3 cylinder (O470R, 182) is running consistently hot. It is typically 30-40 degrees warmer than the average, which puts it at 4-bars in the EDM700 display. To keep this cylinder temp down, I'm having to leave the cowl flaps open in...

Mode S Transponders - Can ATC tell the difference? by Doodybutch
I am the proud owner of a new $5000.00 mode S transponder. I just took my first long trip with it, and I began to wonder if ATC sees any difference on their radar screen with Mode S. As you know, Mode S transmits your aircraft ID as well as your assigned code and altitude. I did notice that...

VOTE ...HTML or Plain Text??? by Montblack
I was surprised by the acceptance of an HTML post in another thread. I, for one, could read the HTML fine. Others said the same thing. Has the time come for HTML in the newsgroup(s)? My (change is bad - we fear change) vote is no HTML ... for now. I'm being fuddy-duddy with my reason: I get...

ECI vs. Millenium vs. Continental cylinders by Cooper Randy
I've read through the archives.... but would still like to hear a few more real world experiences before I spend $7-8K on a set of IO-520 cylinders. Anybody out there have enough hours on an overhaul using new ECI Cermi-Nil cylinders to write home about? How about Milleniums? I'm...

Beechcraft Sundowner by VM
I'm considering buyint a 1978 Beechcraft Sundowner. I have concerns about being able to find spare parts, etc. I'm also considering a Piper Archer II. The Sundowner I've found is $15,000 less than a comparable Piper Cherokee Archer II. The Sundowner looks like a new airplane both inside...

WX1000 Stormscope battery by D. J. Gooding
I own a Mooney M20J with a WX1000 Stormscope whose backup battery has run out. The factory wants $600 to replace the battery. (Flat rate repair policy.) Does anyone know of a practical alternative? I have an electronics background but have no technical data on the unit. Also, am I directing the...

STC question by John Galban
I was always under the impression that an engine related STC had to be approved for both the engine and the airframe on which it was mounted. I've seen this in applications like autogas STCs and STCs that bump a 150 hp O-320 to 160 hp. At a recent Cessna fly-in a saw something that made me look...

Known icing - how realistic is it? by Mike
Anyone who flys a lightplane into known icing is just plain nuts. If you had seen what I have, no one would disagree. *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today.
