    172M Oil Temps to 265!!! Help!

    Do you still have the original Cessna oil temp gauge as well or just the digital? Just curious. I may be the only one to say this, but what you’re experiencing, I don’t think I’d too far outside of normal for a M model. I say this after lots of reading on the internet and having 2 different...

    Tubes

    Which brand tubes do you love and why? I have exclusively used Aero Classic Leak Guards on my fleet but more recently it seems after a couple of months of use they develop small, almost undetectable pinholes that cause a tire to go down over night randomly. It’s not due to under inflation...

    BasicMed changes in 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act

    Has there ever been anything said with someone on BasicMed getting put on a SSRI? I mean the way I read it, if it was for something small like basic anxiety it’s not a issue. If you get diagnosed with bipolar disorder or something of the such, then you need a SI. This whole medical thing...

    How short is too short of a flight?

    I may get banned but Mike Busch this, Mike Busch that like he’s some god… He does have some good points, but just as much good, seems to be an equal amount of B/S. Just fly the planes, be it’s 20 minutes or 5 hours. Just keeping them moving and maintaining common sense goes miles!

    Camp Scholler Tips

    Does anyone have experience with coming in early on Thursday morning? Was going to try planning on that this year and hoping to get a spot in Scholler. Going to have a 28’ pull behind. Thought about flying in, but the wife would rather have a couple of extra amenities. I’ve camped there...

    Weather forecasts aren’t getting better

    Any thoughts on the wide spread smoke also causing a bit of a change to the weather and forecasting challenges? I’ve noticed the air being much drier than normal for this time of year in the southeast/Midwest?

    Aspen and EA100… The good, bad, and ugly?

    I love the Aspen units…. I fly with Garmin, and many others. It’s a wonderful package. I do wish though they could get their **** together and get them more reliable however… Just had a new one installed, it does a in air reboot about once every 5 hours. Hadn’t had time to take it to a...

    182Q upgrade Avionics, or upgrade to 182T?

    I don’t know if it’s just me or not but any 182 in the N,P,Q variety that’s I’ve flown out flies the T model. I think they feel much better on the controls and a smoother plane. Maybe I’m just making that up though.

    Piper Arrow Fuel Pressure

    Just take apart the line, clean it, and blow it out with a air gun. Usually fixed it right up. The blue dye from the fuel builds up in my experience and causes the flutter. Seen it many times on a arrow and decathlon/citabrias

    Aircraft Logbooks

    I should have noted also, I run a flight school. I was curious as to the practices of others. I think mine are a little too available, I’ve always kept them in a un-locked locker and people can dig through them anytime they want. I believe I’m going to go to a status sheet for inspections...

    Aircraft Logbooks

    What does your flight school do with aircraft logs? Are they generally out for inspection anytime, do they have them locked up and then available for checkrides, etc?

    S-Tec 40 Gurus? Paired with Aspen

    Bingo! That’s the info I was looking for. I found a shop that can complete this in house, so all is well. The avionics guy that I had, couldn’t and wasn’t sure about it.

    S-Tec 40 Gurus? Paired with Aspen

    I have a newly installed Aspen E5 and ACU to drive a previously installed System 40. Would I be correct in saying that the S-Tec box needs to be configured to be able to accept the commands for heading bug from the Aspen? In my mind, I was thinking maybe jumpers on the inside of the box? It...

    F104 departing controlled flight

    Ok after reading through all of this, my takeaway comes back to the T38. Losing a 1/3rd of the wing, did I read that right as a not so uncommon thing?
