Default PA-23 Aztec


Ah! Yet another topic of interest to me. I don't have harnesses and I

want
them. Are retractables available as add-ons? I've looked a few times but
have not found them.


Yep, just get a set from a Navajo, if you can find them. I haven't had much
luck yet. Wentworth keeps telling me that they expect something to come
their way from the hurricane damaged planes.

Turn off the taxi light before take off.


Do we agree that the taxi light *should* extinguish itself when it's
retracted?


Yep, "should"


I've gone with .25" glass. I like it.


That's our winter project.

Or get an electronic temp. probe (as part of an engine monitor) and put a
card compass on the glareshield.


Do you have an engine monitor? Which one? I haven't studied them too much
but am interested.

Jim

There's been lots of discussion about engine monitors already but on my
Aztec I have a GEM. (I'd hate to support JPI so it was a fairly simple
decision.) I have not gotten it approved as primary (except for outside
temperature) so I still have the old (next to useless) indicators too.

It's a wonderful tool. I'm trying to debug an intermittant problem in
one of my engines right now. It would be almost hopeless without the
monitor.
