    Nose wheel tire flat - unclear why

    I’ve had a ton of flats lately and they are no fun. I do carry a portable air compressor and if it’s flat just fill it up and try to take off to at least get home. I’ve landed many times on flat tires and it’s a non event but it’s a pain. Likely you’ll need to shut off the engine after...

    Insurance Company Throws A Logical Twist

    The weird thing is, I doubt any of us will actually crash into another object. It’s more of the worry of an engine out and being forced to land off airport and needing assistance with the airplane from this point on for me. I am actually willing to take the risks of self insuring if it wasn’t...

    Do you turn around to inspect your run-up spot for leaks?

    I have shut off the engine after an oil change run up to have a look, but that’s when I was newer to doing it. I’ll probably circle around the run up spot to have a look in future after any mx.

    Need part number for Piper Arrow PA28R landing gear motor

    The thing is I know the motor is working, I have no issues with it. Only issue was a up/down switch which I ordered a replacement. My mechanic is saying the gear is slow to retract. But he took the motor out hopefully he can do something so I’m not buying a new one for $3700.
