I had a plug go bad and that cylinder's EGT actually went up. I never understood that. That is what should happen. Has to do with flame fronts and burning time. Assuming you have EGT monitors for each cylinder, watch what happens when you do your mag check. EGT's in all cylinders will rise significantly. AAMOF, that is one recommended method (in the Insight GEM manual) given for checking. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

Just a curiosity...
I believe you mentioned that you did not yet have your instrument ticket, but you keep referring to VFR-on-top, which is flown, in the US, on an IFR flightplan. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? As far as I know, and maybe I'm wrong, a VFR pilot can fly what would be considered VFR on top. Maybe I'm using the technical term "VFR on Top" incorrectly but I'm just trying to describe the situation. The situation was a 600 foot overcast with tops at 1,500 feet. Clear above 1,500 feet with visibility well over 10 miles … more like 50 miles. Correct me if I'm wrong but a VFR pilot can fly at 4,500 feet in this situation. It might not be smart but it is legal. Let me know if I'm wrong. |

Thanks!
I'm still a wannabe, so I don't really yet know what is correct, but it struck me that while you might find a hole that would let you climb above the clouds on departure, what would happen if you were still above the clouds and there were no hole at your destination airport?

I had about 30 miles of this 600 foot overcast to pass over. It was clear on the otherside with many places to land that were all forcast clear and my wife was able to verify the weather at our local airport also. I just don't want everybody to think I'm totally nuts. |

Paul
Been so long not sure you can do this??? In cold country you can get an alcohol based additive that will absorb water in tank and let it go through the engine with no problem. If the 360 system is suitable for the alcohol based additive then you can get any water (small amounts you can't drain on pre flight) out of tank that way vs major work by an A & E. Check this out.
