FAA violations and accidents by Doug
I know of two accidents. In neither accident was anyone injured but in both the plane was substantially damaged or totalled. The FAA sighted the owner operator in both cases for violations involving the aircraft logging. In one case they did not like the wording of the last annual and in the other...

Flying into Chass B by PaulaJay1
Do I feel DUMB! Flying west at 4500 ft I was "fat,dumb and happy" when I noticed I was in a 4000/10000 ft Class B vail. DIVE to get to 2500. I was not on the radio and chose not to call approach. I've filed the NASA form. By the way, what does that get me? Now, I guess, I just wait to see if...

Silver State Helicopters ... by Jon Kraus
We just purchased a'79 M20J 4443H. I am in the middle of getting my 10 hours with a CFI for Insurance purposes and I have to tell you that this thing is a lot different to land than a Skyhawk. So far I am glad that my CFI has been with me because 75 percent of the landings have not been pretty....

Vertical Card Compass Mystery by Rosspilot
A strange thing has happened that I cannot explain. I wonder what the readership thinks . . . I have a Precision vertical card compass. I fly at least 3 times a week, and I know my airplane real well. Last week, when I looked at my compass, the little airplane that should point up was about 30...

how to get started as AC broker? by Bill
(Looking for serious replies please...) I am a ATP pilot with a general aviation background, and am growing tired of the insecurity of the (no matter where you work) "pro pilot job." Pagers, on call, no real vacations, etc, etc. Another friend of mine, also an ATP, feels the same way. However...

"dual magneto" by Kai Glaesner
Hello, reading the "no RPM drop..." thread gave rise to a question: what is the benefit (if there is any) of the "dual magneto" (two magnetos in a single housing) installation? Should these kind of installation be preferred, or avoided (if there is a choice ;-)? Thanks in advance for the...

Better way than Wet Rates? by Tim Hogard
A friend and I are considering buying a plane that will be on leaseback to a flight school. I was wondering if the days of the "Wet Rates" are numbered with fuel cost going up so high. As far as I can tell, renting planes with fuel goes back to well before the '70s and I was wondering what other...

Since the subject of new vs. overhaul comes up periodically, here is my experience with the overhaul of a DG (1976 Mitchell aka Edo Air with autopilot interface.) I sent it off to Bernard Ducasse in Pennsylvania based on instrument shop recommendations found using Google Groups. Bernard charged...

Piper Wing Lighting by Jessewright8
Has anyone had any experience with the 'skylight' brand of wing lighting? I have never heard of it until today when I saw it in a flyer for Cherokee Pilots Assoc. I have been looking at wingtip lighting... but it's pricey. The skylight lighting is mounted into the leading edge, rather than the...

no RPM drop on mag check by Dave Butler
Our Mooney just came out of annual and now the tachometer needle doesn't move at all during the magneto check as you switch through R, L, BOTH. The engine does stop running with the switch in OFF. I asked my my partner who manages the maintenance relationship to look into it and he contacted the...

Cherokee Strobe Noise by Jonathan Goodish
I know that this has been beaten to death, and I have searched the archives, but I'm trying to narrow my specific case down a little bit. I have a Cherokee with factory-installed wing tip strobes. I have an original (1977) King Silver Crown avionics package, including audio panel, KX170Bs, etc. ...

pitot tube questions by Jim Burns
The pitot heat has failed on our Aztec. No heat, not even warm, no amperage draw. Circuit breaker, switch, leads, and ground all check ok. Now here's the strange part. We get correct voltage across the leads and we get continuity across the terminals on the tube. No continuity from...

Stiction in the yoke by Jay Honeck
A previous owner, in an attempt to make his yokes move more freely, used dry graphite in the yokes on our Pathfinder. Of course, as moisture and condensation came and went, this graphite clumped up and got gritty. This would restrict motion, so he apparently added MORE graphite. Long story...

RST-565 Audio Panel by Jim Weir
I just inadvertently deleted a message from a fellow that had a noise level question about a new airplane he bought with one of my RST-565 audio panels. I checked the "delete" instead of "forward" box out of my spam filter. If anybody knows who I might be talking about, could you please have them...
