So annoying...

No problem with politicians using GA, unless they make hypocrites out of themselves by using their platform to condemn business and private use of general aviation.

On the off chance that XM/ADS-B weather actually is delayed 15 minutes and a storm cell happens to pop up in your path during that time, it will show up on the stormscope.

If the fix is going to cost you more than an hour or two of labor i'd look into upgrading it to a wx-1000 or a wx-500. The 1000 has a display and the 500 has no display but will interface with many popular GPS units and PFD/MFD's. You could save some weight and free up some panel space.

Convection makes the spark, so it does essentially detect convection. Even building cells that are not producing visible lightning, will light up a storm scope. The moisture and shear inside the cloud creates enough electricity to be detected on the scope. As those build into full fledged...

Yep... there are about $20 worth of small plastic parts that need to be replaced on that 500hr, that if allowed to wear out and break will trash the whole mag.

Look forward to flying with you! Glad we'll have all those pesky little airworthiness items taken care of before flying it over the mountains :)

I think most people understand the difference between a single engine piston and a citation.

Enjoy staring at that groundspeed indicator on your GPS for hours on your 1000nm trips and wishing it was 20kts higher Just kidding, hope that its a great airplane for you! :)

Not expected but I have received a few tips.

If its flying regularly now and an oil analysis comes back good, compression/borescope tests good, i'd feel okay about the engine making it to TBO. As someone else mentioned, if it had an internal problem it would likely show up by now with the heavy use that it is seeing. With regular trips...

I know inertial separators are for ice, but i'd think their design would sling out quite a bit of water. Or they could be designed to do so, making them less susceptible to flame out from excessive water ingestion. Water can make a jet flame out, I believe turning on the igniters is SOP in many...

PIC has to take a cut, there is some cost of dragging a simulator around, and you have to pay for a good instructor to be away from his/her family for 10 days straight. I'm guessing the instructor gets upper $300's per day which is good but not excessive by any means. I never used PIC or any of...

I'm a big fan of the cessna stall horn. Also the airframes tend to make noise at higher angles of attack which gives you another clue.

Cool. My folks are still there, corner of Beechridge and White Oak

I remember Fran like it was yesterday and I was only 9 years old. Everything.. hunkering down overnight while hearing crazy winds and massive trees crashing down. Morning after, walking around in bright blue sunshine and humid heat, with a half dozen hundred + year oak trees down everywhere you...

I mean why not? Go big or go home

lol.. "crab and stab"
