Hi everyone! Can anyone help me figure out the coupling of my Aspen 1000, S-Tec-50, and G430 when it comes to approaches? I have read (and tried) most variations and some work good, great, or bad so I want to figure out the right combo. Here's what I've done and please correct me is you see...

On an Instrument checkride...... if the plane is equipped with a 430WAAS and an Aspen, what instrument do you think he will block out for the "partial panel"? Also I have an STec50 so will he want me to do an approach using my AP?

Do any other 10 day crash courses do any Back courses or arc's? Timed holds? My PIC guy didn't...... I had to seek additional training for those.

A few knocks on PIC..... I never understood when we were shooting approaches he wanted to land each time and taxi back. This added so much time to each procedure plus the gas and wear and tear on the equipment! My friends who were taking their training one hour a week shot 3 approaches in an...

I would strongly recommend going to Lambert's at KSIK. They shuttle you to the restaurant, take you in the side door to bypass the waiting crowds, and shuttle you back! On Sundays there's always a full shuttle van coming and going all day long! Excellent perk for the pilots!!

That suited me well because his "simulator" was pretty low class. I have a...

OK ...... finally solved! The engine was built at an authorized repair shop (Lawson Aviation) in Michigan. An unrelated event (bad jugs) caused me to return the plane to his shop to have the defective cylinder heads replaced. Upon removing the plane and setting the engine on it's nose, they...

UPDATE: The manufacturer came to our hanger and changed out the starter housing as it had a 1/2" wobble to it. We only noticed it when we ran up the engine with the cowl off to 2700rpms. At idle it did not wobble. We honestly thought that would clear up this problem. I also had the prop...

Hi all, I just got my continental 470U modified to a 470-50 P Ponk engine. During break in the alternator belt keeps coming off. Run up okay, takeoff ok, climb ok, once in level flight belt pops off. Time is around 15 minutes. Happens every time!!! Tried 2 separate belts (continental and...
