    Airports with a Hotel...

    Close to your location are KL88 (New Cuyama), a short walk to the motel and KSMX (Santa Maria) where you exit the transient ramp into the motel.

    There are 101 public airports in Illinois...

    My goal was to land at all the public below sea level airports. That was foiled by non-notamed Xs on the runway at KSAS (and haven't been able to get an answer from the owner about the actual status)

    Cirrus Power Lever Failure

    91.126(b)(1) - Yes, Virginia, it is regulatory.

    Just curious, how would one strictly apply this to the recommended 45 degree entry to downwind pattern entry (left pattern would require a 45 degree right turn to downwind unless doing a left 315 degree turn at pattern altitude in the pattern)? That would certainly be "approaching to land at an...

    Question on Prop Re-pitching Legality

    There was no STC for the engine change, the 337 entry states they used the instructions and procedures from the STC. They did include the operating instructions and limitations from the STC in the records. The C-90 prop was removed and a new DCM6950 installed. The tach is calibrated for the...

    Propeller Availability Rant

    I'm now thinking about going "all in" with the added down time and getting a full engine overhaul since the engine is past both TBO benchmarks even though it was running fine with the exception of annoying oil leaks. Of course that will really put the cost well beyond the value of the plane but...

    Question on Prop Re-pitching Legality

    The 337 field approval was based on the information from an STC but that STC did not apply to the airplane. While the STC does call for a 69/48 the 337 was approved by the FAA with a 69/50. This is the quote: 2. Installed TCM factory rebuilt, zero timed engine model O-200-A serial # 285295-R...

    Question on Prop Re-pitching Legality

    Edited, thanks. The prop shop wasn't that helpful with the questions basically deferring to what I want. My IA is good with replacing like for like, in this case a re-pitched 50 to 51. I'm wonder if that re-pitch 30 years ago was legal since the 337 says 69/50 and the STC it's based on...

    Question on Prop Re-pitching Legality

    If either a TCDS or STC states only a specific prop, i.e. DCM69/48 and specific static rpm, i.e. 2350-2450 are allowed, is it legal to re-pitch from the /48 to achieve the desired static RPM? Does that change the designation of the prop, i.e. to a 69/50 if static was too high, or 69/46 if...

    Propeller Availability Rant

    Well, welcome to the non-flying hangar paperweight club. Pulled the propeller in early May for the annual for inspection and re-finishing (over 1800 hrs. on it) and it failed the inspection due to corrosion in the mounting holes. The shop indicated 10-12 weeks for a new prop which I ordered...

    Who or what flights qualify for FF?

    You can also pick up flight following from the center. This is handy on cross country trips when you depart from airports outside of approach control airspace.
