    Carb Overhaul/Rebuild vs. New?

    Looking for thoughts on MS SPA3A carbs. This is for an O-200 installed in 1994 with over 1800 hours on it. There is oil/fuel that drips from the air box both during operation and after shutdown. The engine starts easily and seems to run fine with good power and fuel economy. Questions: 1...

    Rental Car hint/tip/gripe/trick/review/kvetch Thread

    The van shuttle driver told me when I spent the night there this past June that the Eagles had never been to Winslow, and the Ford had to slow down where the statue is because the speed limit changes. Don't know if that's true, but it's on the internet now so it must be.

    Planes collide at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport

    This from that article : Investigators will also look closely at how an aircraft could be on an active HND runway for nearly 1 min. without being detected, even in the dark. An ICAO document shows HND is one of many airports that uses surface movement radar—a long-used method of supplementing...

    long term effects of being an airline pilot

    The stable relationship is certinly a key but a good many seem to collect former spouses as a hobby. With the current yield management and frequent flyer programs NonRev travel is not a benefit. If my wife and I want to fly somewhere we purchase a real ticket to make sure we can get on the...

    Cessna P210 down near San Diego 11/15/2023

    News article update. article It will be interesting to see what the NTSB determines. A pilot friend heard him flying and thought someone is lost in the clouds then when the engine sound faded he thought that the flight was heading east for an approach, not out of fuel. Sad.

    Being based at an airport that doesn’t sell fuel?

    But there is a caveat. On a recent cross country flight I got an error code on the self-serve terminal. It turns out that for some reason at that airport/terminal the reader connected my card/N number with a prior address so the credit card issuer declined approval. That was interesting since...

    Manifold Pressure Source for O-200?

    From what I can determine the thread size is 1/8NPT on the plug #17 but don't know for sure. Any confirmation from the collective mind? I had seen those at Spruce, but the smallest is for a 1/4" ID hose and Surefly is calling for a 1/8" ID. I checked at Summit Racing and I didn't find...
