When the entry is made in #2 lead, the clue meter should come alive . . .

Nearly made through a whole day on the internet aviation boards without a slippery slope fallacy !

prop governor overhaul may or may not coincide with the engine overhaul or prop overhaul.

nope.

Google Braniff's N601BN. They put 30,500 flight hrs on the airplane in 6 yrs.

The FAA medical app form 8500 used to have a question between #10 -15 that asked: "Have you ever been in an aircraft accident?" Y/N Did not ask for explanation.

Depends on make/model and number of life limited components. Might be a deal killer so buyer doesn't sound like the brightest bulb on the tree.

T-hawks have a 11k wing life but for ~$5000 + installation, one can buy an STC to extend the wing service life. Probably why that one is cheap(er) Just like an airliner, the feasibility ends when it's cheaper to replace it. Had a customer that bought a Wallace Menhaden 172 that had 25,000 hrs...

Don't feel bad. AOPA has shown in at least 2 articles over the years that they don't understand the differences either.

The high time planes I used to fly at work were the ones over 40,000 hrs. I jumpseated on a Boeing freighter once that had 90,000. Asiana has a 74 freighter with 135,000. That would be "high time"

pretty insightful that he figured that out after takeoff.

why would an O-200 have a 1500 hr TBO ? ? ? :(

Ask to see a list of parts that were replaced during the engine overhaul. A disassemble, inspect and reassemble with the same parts doesn't add any value or life to the engine so it would be worth what it was the day before the prop strike. If the airplane has been properly returned to service...

For US regs, no idea what an "actual overhaul" is but it doesn't get a reset to "0" either. Anything with the word "overhaul" is the same. If you want "0" time and a new logbook, the word is "rebuilt"

there is no "maximum" amount of instruction for any certificate, rating or endorsement. An instructor could give a student 1000 hrs of dual. Maybe it just means he is a crappy instructor. Certainly not illegal in anyway and the ones claiming faux charter don't know the regs.

peddle it off on someone with a low compression engine

I guess you're wife will be happy to hear that ! ! !

whatever you do, don't use $%# cherry max rivets ! !

I think it says Apply Isocryl 5603 to all edges of the winshield and under the retainer. That's in addition to felt. The glass manufacturer usually supplied enough felt to do the job. I don't use it. I use proseal in the gap when the job is done.

Remove center strip, remove lower retaining strip, remove window, install new window, trim as needed, install felt, need 2 people to rivet the retainer back on, melt the new hole in for the center strip so it won't crack. I used a die grinder with a sanding drum for trimming. All very easy.
