Filters don't get everything, they do a better job than the screen alone. Your going to pay for a filter along with the oil in the filter, change the oil 25hr with screen or 50 with filter, go with the 25hr nothing is better than clean new oil.

f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. If your aircraft does go over the 5,000 hr + factor and you do the inspection and it is good does this terminate the AD or do you have to do it again and at what time?

If you have a plane that is affected by this AD with over the 5,000 hr + factor just how much is it worth if you try to sell it now that people know the AD is out. If you list it for sale without knowing if the wing is good or bad and just want out how much of a hit would you take or if you feel...

It's not the end of the world, unless you have a high time flight school type beat to s*** plane listed, your good to go. For those who bought a Arrow from a flight school or other aircraft listed with high time 100hr inspections, well you are in for a wild ride.

A lot of pilots got their IR with time on a ATC510 or ATC610 the 510 seem to be more user friendly as it just used tapes and you could do the flight by yourself. As a CFII i used the 510 and 610 for years the 610 with plotter was a great device at the time. The new simulators are great and...

Is it possible that a low cost GA aircraft, not some light sport or some other light but big like a Cessna 172 or Piper PA-28 could be produced. It needs to be produced in large numbers to get the cost down to be affordable by most people. China has invested large amount of money in GA do they...

You can always tell the new CFI's they stand out close to the runway for their first student solo fingers crossed and in a sweat. The old ones might watch the take off go in have a cup of coffee listen to the radio for a call turning final. Go out watch the landing go back in the warm hangar...

I got my CFI in 1973 things were a little easy back then and only the FAA could do it and they had a lot of leeway, now DPE have no leeway they have to administer the test by the book. I work at a Flying club as a CFI and CFII also the A&P/IA I also am 74 years old so I only take on a few...

For those that get the 15 minute Annual and work on their plane themselves is that a bad thing. It's not like those planes are causing most of the accidents or killing most of the pilots. Most GA aircraft can take a lot of, or lack of preventative maintenance. Worn out bushings in landing gear...

It's been 25 years since EPA ban on lead in fuel, just how long do you think Kerry and the new administration are going to wait. 1970: Congress passes the Clean Air Act. The EPA is formed and given the authority to regulate compounds that endanger human health. 1973: EPA mandates a phased-in...

It's been a few years, what is going on with no lead aviation gas, thought it was down to one or two. With the new administration on fossil fuel they will probably do more than a nudge from the EPA, to force a transition to an unleaded fuel.

Till you buy parts for a Bonanza, if you think Cessna or Piper parts are high priced try Beechcraft they are real proud of their parts.

Three of us sat in easy chairs KOKH in the summer and hold up large numbers 1-9 of landings as the planes taxi back to the gas pumps.

The C-150-D was flown by a high time CFI with lots of 150 time on landing power reduced had a shudder in the engine that he had never had before on a 150. The end play on the prop for pull and push about 1/8" and a rotation of the prop tip about 1" as already talked about not sure exact as I did...

What kind of qualifications time or other requirements do operators look for to sit in the right seat of Corporate jets? How do you get a start, lots of information on airline jobs not so much on how to get in to the Corporate side.

A J-3 Piper Cub not much drop in value for lost logs, more of a loss of value is the data tag lost as it just screws into the plywood floor of a J-3. If it's a Twin Seabee big drop in value if the log books are lost.
