Not that I wouldn't have done something similar in your predicament,
but do you think it's wise to invite your friend to violate FAR, and then publish on a public forum what a FSDO inspector might construe as a violation of FAR? I guess I didn't make it clear, but that part about "there's not enough beer in the world to pay Doug back for what he did for us today" meant that he refused to accept gas money for his flight. Which FAR will I be violating by buying him beers for the next year? More significantly, he is one of our few friends who actually *prefer* light "beer", which means that we will be operating in violation of the German Purity Laws of 1516 -- an act punishable by death in some circles. See http://www.brewingmuseum.org/purity_law.htm for details. :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Hope your oil leak problem is finally resolved! Sounds like you're living
right, everything worked out well. If that pesky, nagging, maddening, un-traceable little oil leak is finally fixed, I will kiss Atlas' spinner right on the lips, and all will be forgiven. I've wasted more hours trying to figure out where that drip was coming from than you can imagine. The oil cooler leaked right at a seam between two metal segments, which made seeing the leak impossible without a mirror. And before it let go enough to actually produce a series of active drips, it just looked oily like everything else in that general area. I'm just really, REALLY glad that it didn't "let go" more than it did. Large parts of Missouri between Iowa City and Columbia are not great for forced landings... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Sounds like Coumbia, MO ranks right up there with Dalhart, TX for service
and accommodating people! Great story, glad everything worked out well. The last time I was in Columbia MO, I got spanked for walking across the ramp towards an exit gate.... which was on the other side of the yellow line that designated the Air National Guard base. Does your oil cooler "hang" from one side with the opposite side free to vibrate and rattle around in the wind? If so, you might want to talk to your A&P about fashioning a support brace for the unsupported side. Next time we get together, I'll show you what we have on ours. Jim |

Since when is it a violation of FAR to come pick up a stranded friend? Or
deliver a needed part for a friend? Ever since they came up with the stupid "pro-rata" rule, and the "interpretation" (which I consider erzats rulemaking) that "holding out" equals "commercial" (i.e. telling your college dorm you're open to flying people) and "logging time" is "compensation.

... As I drove out of the lot, feeling crappy about leaving our plane at a strange FBO far from home, I thought to call Keith, our A&P and good friend -- mostly for a shoulder to cry on. (But also to see what he thought about the local shop's diagnosis.) So I gave him a jingle and we chatted for a bit, when he dropped the bomb shell: "You know, I think I may have one of those coolers here in the shop." Dumbfounded, I couldn't help but ask incredulously, "Why?" Keith runs a very small, part-time shop, and he rarely keeps parts in stock. He CERTAINLY doesn't keep major stuff like oil coolers laying around -- especially not ones made specifically for a Lycoming O-540 B4B5 model engine. Yet, inexplicably, miraculously, he had the perfect match laying on a shelf? I simply couldn't believe it. ... That's one heck of a lucky coincidence. By any chance, did your a&p acquire the part after you visited him about the oil problem or an annual? (Not that I'm a conspiracist, or anything...) Most people in aviation are true gems, but one does run into questionable characters from time to time. |

The quickest repairs I've EVER had have been on the road. That would
have taken a week back at home base! I considered taking my airplane up to Casper Wyoming and "breaking down" when I want something fixed pronto, but never did it. |
