Any chance you could reclaim the IMC club and resurrect it? A great idea which has been essentially killed off by EAA.

When the airplane reaches an altitude, based on prevailing weight, where it does not have enough thrust to maintain a specific rate of climb (especially when banking) It is said to be at it's thrust limited altitude.

Since they are becoming more rare, a "good price point" is also becoming rare. I can't imagine buying one and dumping $20k into the panel for such limited IFR capability. You could do better with a Tri-Pacer.

135 regs, look at the crewmember qualifications, flight and duty times. Training and testing. Weather related stuff like non-std TO and alternate wx mins are ops spec, C-50-55. Authorizations and exemptions are all ops spec. Check ride will be check airman or fed or both depending on what they...

Not difficult but it is time consuming with a lot of drilling and riveting. Interesting an A&P would turn it down. That's a money maker.

I have instructed students that flew at a similar pace. Takes over a year to get a private certificate. More frequency is better but have to do what you can do.

They are not going to care about your endorsements. They gonna look at what kind of flying you have done between receiving a commercial certificate until now.

Ferry flight inspection is just a walkaround, the standard is "safe for flight." Prepping for a ferry flight will be more involved and that will need to be done before requesting a ferry permit.

I would absolutely exhaust all possibilities of ferrying to new location before disassembly. Also would not waste time/money on a prebuy. Issues, possibly serious are a given but I assume the price means there are no deal breakers. Is the Luscombe rag wing or metal wing?

As long as you sent in your old registration with reverse side filled out stating ownership was transferred to [new owners name and address] as required by regulation, you're golden.

In the later 182's (sans bladders) the courtesy light fixtures are mounted in a wing inspection panel. No modification to the structure required.

I think the OP was asking if there are any loopholes one can use to avoid reporting a disqualifying medical condition.

The horizontal line was put there by someone for unknown reason. Not factory. Maybe that's their own private takeoff setting. The trim for level flight is never exactly the same and you're not going to fly the plane trying to adjust the trim indicator to an exact position anyway. That's not how...

Heard it on the internet I hope because otherwise it's not true.

Bingo. Land the plane.

the "fat" line on the left is the takeoff range. It is not exact, only in the ballpark. The indicator moves with the trim wheel.

Restricted Areas and Prohibited Areas are regulated airspace, controlled by 14CFR Part 73 Supbart B and C respectively. Any amendments or modifications to this airspace requires a change to Part 73 of the CFRs by use of the rulemaking process outlined in 14CFR Part 11. Nonregulatory airspace...

Pre 1970 Cessna 150 (short dorsal fin, flat spring gear). Definitely a spin wreckage signature

MOA's are non-regulatory airspace. They are created, deleted and modified without going through the rulemaking process. Can certainly complain but the gov. is going to do it anyway.

But did you receive specific training on how to open/close the specific panels in question? Also, did you receive training on when the oil should be checked via sight glass, i.e., including any attendant limitations? For example, "greater than 10 min but not more than 30 min after shutdown?" The...
