Years ago, a big storm had delayed my trip several days. I finally got to my hub airport, with one commuter leg left to get home. The agents at the regional (Beech 1900s) desk were scrambling to get folks on their way, saying they were short of crew, due to timeouts, etc. I flashed my ATP...

Any opportunity (or available time) to give civilian flight training, if you were to obtain your CFI?

Tri-Pacer?

Equal and opposite reactions are, undoubtedly, a specific subset of consequences.

I assume 10-2032 was a typo? (No expiration, as such, but hopefully, in ten years, you'd have done some more flying!)

Yikes!!! Glad they got on the ground in one piece. ummmm.....yeah, really, wow. I guess I'll just say "no comment."

It's been years, not much I remember about operation. Some units were/are set up with a single-pin plug in the panel (maybe as big in diameter as a headset plug, IIRC), the drill was, you downloaded the database to a laptop, then used a cord to plug into the panel, with avionics powered up. I...

As a freelance CFI, I'd tell students that I might forgive any reasonable one-time excuse for late-show or cancellation (sick kids, house on fire, etc.) But, with chronic tardiness (a few would be consistently 15 minutes late, etc.) they would be billed from the scheduled start-time, or for...

Certainly could be any one or more of the associated connections, but Dr. Bruce may be on the right track. Simply changing the battery would seem to point to the battery cables/connectors as prime suspects. I think your 140 originally had the weird "pass through" ground strap connector, through...

TKM makes a slide-in replacement for King KX170 series.

Let's see, Arapahoe County is the 3rd most populated in Colorado.....you want quiet skies? How about Byers, or Deer Trail?

With that purchase budget, you could consider a Duke, as well. Operating costs at 100 hours a year will be about $700/hour, a 58P might be $600/hr. If that doesn't scare you, go for it! But, a 55 Baron would work just fine for most of your stated mission, and might be way less wallet-wrenching.

OK, I'll bite. Seriously, a Duke would be a good second choice after the Aerostar, (210 kts true at altitude). You can get a good one for under $400K, but, like the big twin Cessnas, any of those will cost $600-$700/hr to operate (all-in). And that's with reasonable insurance, which, with low...

I don't know, but your two young men might give the Big Texan steak challenge (Amarillo) a run for the money: The 72oz Steak - The Big Texan Steak Ranch

OK, everybody just chill.

Yeah, tough (if not near-impossible) to heat that kind of space with portable electric. You'd be better off to invest in an engine heater (Tanis, Reiff, etc.) for the plane, and a small space heater for the cockpit/cabin, and just tough it out for pre-flight.

From the picture, looks like a Century 2000. Looks like you can download the manual here: Manuals | Century Flight Systems Inc. - Autopilots, Aircraft Instrumentation

Great (not that I'm planning European airline travel anytime soon), now you'll have to listen to the yahoo sitting next to you yakking away at their boss/wife/kids/stock broker/whatever.
