    Fltplan go app

    In the app you might try tap and hold on your desired spot on the map and then it will give you an "Add to Route" option window with that point as a lat/long position. If you click on the "down arrow" on the right side of the position there is a "save" function. If you click on "save" it gives...

    Prop Mounting Question

    Correct. The Alons came with the C-90 engine. Mine has an O-200 thanks to Chevron's Jet-A fuel mix up in Watsonville back in the 90s. The installation was via a 337 field approval based on the STC which at that time was limited to the D model Ercoupe. The paperwork specifies the propeller...

    Prop Mounting Question

    I've removed the McCauley DCM propeller from my O-200 powered Alon for the annual inspection. Upon removal I noticed that there were thin AN-960 washers on both sides of the front plate. Looking at the Erco, Forney, and Alon parts manuals there is not a depiction of any washers. The Mooney...

    Challenger Jet down in Truckee CA 7/26/21

    It would be interesting to see the company's hiring and crew pairing history, both in general and with this crew in particular. Also, besides the total time reported by the NTSB their individual flying history would be interesting.

    Boeing's streak continues: 737 Gear Collapse

    The crew asked about spacing (of following airplane) to be able to roll to the end. Tower approved the request, asking them to keep the speed up. Juan Brown has a good review. Blancolirio Sure sounds like a crew error by not slowing enough for the turn off onto a 90 degree taxi exit. For...

    C150 or C152

    re. Item #1, make sure it's absolutely cracked. For my last annual the shop found the same "issue" and pointed it out to me prior to replacement approval. After getting the plane and old replaced caliper back I looked more closely at the "crack" and discovered it was just the paint that was...

    Carb Overhaul/Rebuild vs. New?

    I can confirm the primer is fully in and locked during operation except when using it prior to first start. The carb is mounted with the lock-o-seals finger tight. Two annuals ago the shop said that the carb was loose and tightened them down, crushing the lock-o-seals. That was corrected with...
