Dull headache is a common symptom of mild hypoxia. Oxygen would be beneficial to prevent this. If my spo2 is less than 90%, I want to go on oxygen. If it remains under 90% on oxygen I want to increase oxygen delivery. Occasional deep breaths may help prevent atelectasis and thereby improve...

The 430 / 530 series navigators don't care about serial number. Neither do the 430w / 530w. You can swap cards 430>430, 430w>530w without issue. The cards are different however between waas and non-waas versions, so you cannot swap 430>430w. The GTN's are limited to serial number and that...

Flight aware shows 1h 55 min first flight and 1h 20 min second flight that day. Most of these planes don't carry many hours of fuel. Mine carries about 42 gallons total. If I completed both those flights I would be on E.

I've been advised that birds dive when threatened. Another vote for climb to evade.

Go to car-part.com and buy a transmission near you. Pay a local mechanic a few hours labor to swap it out. Even if you still sell the car, you'll get more out of a running car.

Fixed that for you.

Wow. I too have grown tired of the seemingly endless maintenance requirements on these old engines. Personally I would really like a rotax. I've been waiting for them to bring a higher power version to market.

My 340 and the 320 before that will do the same if I allow the prop to drive the motor. I have since adjusted the high RPM pitch limit on the prop to stop it from happening when I pull the throttle to idle when slowing in the pattern.

Bedbugs were eradicated in the US but have made a resurgence since the banning of DDT. They are hard to treat now. Heat works but I'm not sure if sustained temps of 140-150 degrees is allowed in an aircraft. I guess an a&p plus a licensed pest control applicator would be required to treat the...

ebay has this option. Whole internet, good question.

Yeah, I had heard some were doing that. I have also heard of using metallic paint for antenna ground planes; I wonder if that may offer some protection. My Lancair doesn't have this protection. I would venture a guess that most composite experimental aircraft lack this protection. What about...

Around here the valleys, and "foothills" if you will, had power and water restored in 3-4 days for most locations. Up in the hills it is still out today. Roan Mountain for example is still without power and water. It's a mess up there. FEMA was there yesterday coordinating volunteers helping...

I've read that composite may explode from lightning strikes.

Some may dispute this assertion.

I'm based close to Greeneville in Elizabethton TN. While I haven't been to Greenville recently, I don't believe it took a hit. I think it is ok. Call the fbo to check. If for any reason it isn't an option, Elizabethton is open and operating normally except for some newer transients along...

It's not just pilots being threatened with arrest for trying to help. Word I hear from locals on the ground who traveled from Tennessee into the Asheville area is they have been advised the same.

Thank goodness we mandate certified mechanics to work on these planes.

Limit scope of practice. How many private rated would need to know turbine for example. Just as we have private, multi, high performance, complex, etc we could have similar for non-commercial A&P. This idea isn't far from the light sport maintenance training concept.
