Congratulations to your friend - that deserves some type of change of hangar ceremony, maybe a few dignitaries giving speeches.

How could I forget the key to life basics. 1) Duct Tape 2) WD 40 3) Zip Ties

Yep - Paulding would be a hike. KRYY - did I mention a 2 year wait list now for a tie down spot? It still boggles my mind.

Where in ATL land? If Paulding is workable, and you’re certain to be moving try calling them and offering a $500 deposit along with signing a lease. They are a year out still. It’s in the airports best interest to have all leased out and deposits on hand.

As I recall if you’ve reset to make it guide you through the PT/ Hold, it will want to keep doing that. Assume you’ve flown the hold a few times. Now you need to unhold and fly approach. An easy way with few button clicks is to just “Load and Activate Vectors”. I’ve exited the hold...

Just remember, when you're done with your hold and want to shoot the approach, go back and "Activate to Vectors".

Another angle on this. I'm afraid any and all other log book entries this guy made has to be reviewed by another IA. Hopefully he didn't do much else besides that engine work. Your log book will probably need an "X" over his work, a note on why this is being invalidated, and a reference...

Have the pre buy do a compression test as well a cylinder oil leak test with a bore scope. Ask me how I know. What 455 Bravo said Figure out your “kit”. All the crap you’ll need or want inside the plane based on how you’ll use the plane. Tie downs, step ladder to check fuel, sun shades...

Prior to this shop working on it, when was your engine last overhauled / opened up where someone would have put new bearings in? If the cases hadn't been opened since the 90's, then he might have used NOS. (But probably didn't). Did anyone split the cases around 2003 and note that they put...

Having grown up in a small farm town in Southern Illinois, I’ve seen first hand tractor pull contests that involved a turbine powered tractor. The strongest memory I have of it was the noise.

It also depends on what you're doing at the time of encounter IMHO. For example, if you're doing maneuvers at 2500 AGL, then pull up in a way that doesn't stall or overstress. If you're on final going low and slow, I'd say don't pull up or do any other abrupt maneuver for fear of...

Me, working the tug to put a plane in a hangar

I can see that happening to me someday trying to put an anirplane into the hangar with a golf cart or lawn mower tug.

FIFY

Yes, but they are on the verge of junk bond rating. Borrowing more is getting expensive.

Ye gads - so how does one decide which ones to do? Such as whether to use locite on a propeller control set screw.

The fact that Boeing makes more profit on things like JEPP vs building planes is more of a comment on its ability to build planes. Spot on IMHO. Sell JEPP and those other things and figure out how to make and service planes again. It's not like they were selling horse whips and the...

Help me out here In order of priority you have • Service Information Letter • Service Bulletin • Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin • Airworthiness Directive While legally you’re only required to do the AD, wouldn’t any one of these supersede the original service and repair manuals...

With his current and future needs, probably should just get something more “future proof”.

That is a million dollar idea right there.
