"4-5 hours per quart, after 5 hours" Umm... two things 1) you say the oil consumption has improved, but you've only run 5 hours? This doesn't make sense. Improved from what? I think there is a typo somewhere. Was that supposed to be "4-5 hours per quart after 50 hours"? 2) 1 quart in 4-5...

Sorry - to be more clear, the statement should have been "The instrument should have some method of accurate temperature measurement of the area where the thermocouple wires terminate to the instrument to allow for compensation of the reading."

Exactly!

I do this for a living. Reading some of these comments was making my head hurt, so I drew a picture that "might" help explain this a bit. The bottom line is that if your junctions (butt-splice, knife connector, etc.) are at the same temperature from one side to the other (which is probably 1"...

If the OP wants a starter headset, I recommend Flightcom or similar, and keep it under $200. That way you don't have too much invested when you finally make the jump to Bose or Lightspeed. Not every aspiring pilot has $1000 to drop on a headset. I know I sure didn't 30 years ago.

If it is a Grayhill 39-series switch (like the 39-1 or 39-3), then this is your nut: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/grayhill-inc/39C1008-1/2410101?s=N4IgTCBcDaIMwE4DCBGADGgHAWhSAugL5A

Nothing to see here....Move along....

Radiation fog?

At this point, the conversation would best be served by the OP posting further details such as date, time, flight#, etc., so the actual Flightware track and LiveATC audio can be found and analyzed in true Monday-morning quarterback style. I assume there was no violation or even a hint of that...

I think it does mean that, since that's the exact wording I get. I'm under a Class B shelf, just 5 miles west of the surface area, so I'm sure their intention is to get me flying away from the big boys until I can get in touch with Departure. I am fully aware that obstacle clearance is on me...

Definitely a high-workload time. You've got to deal with gear, flaps, power, respond to tower if called, change frequency and contact departure, etc. From an uncontrolled field, I'm usually given instructions like, "enter controlled airspace on a heading of 270", so in that case, I've got to...

I think this is BS. Based on the weights you provided, you should be able to fly your family if the plane is loaded properly. I had a Cherokee 140 for 3 years. I filled the seats on a few occasions. One basic rule is plan on filling to the tabs if you are going to fill all the seats. Even...

This just strikes me as odd. The OP joined POA four years ago, and THIS is his first post? Dude! You waited four years, and this is what you came up with?:dunno:

Well, hot damn! Glad it worked out!:yes:

Multiple things wrong here: 1. The AD for the eddy current inspection of the lower outboard spar bolt holes is 2020-26-16, not "2021-26-16". 2. The assertion that this applies "Only to the taper wing pipers" is INCORRECT. It definitely applies to my Hershey Bar Arrow II. 3. The AD may not apply...

If you have to find ways to justify it, then plane ownership may not be for you. I own an airplane because it makes me happy. I can't believe how many people ask me how much it costs to own an airplane. I don't care. The day I start caring about the cost, is the day my love of aviation has...

I think you should stay on CTAF when in the vicinity of the field. Changing to Approach Freq just to overfly to check a windsock seems quite ridiculous to me. Are you trolling here? If there are already planes in the pattern, you won't need to fly over the field to check the windsock. If the...
