This. This is why I have commercial SEL, MEL and SES today. Nate goading me on... (Thanks @denverpilot ). :D

If the Alcor TFP is working, it must be lead fouled valves. It's specifically to remove lead deposits on valves, rings, etc.

I’ve heard about such things but I’m no aircraft mechanic. I just posed the questions based on first principles. What does your mechanic think? This may be a real pain to find because it’s brief and intermittent.

The #2 cylinder is not firing for a few seconds and the EGT is telling you the cylinder is not firing. Why is it not? Spark, fuel, air and compression are all it needs. So which is it? Moved plugs, didn’t help. Switched mags, didn’t change. So spark seems ok. Cleaned injectors and that also...

That would take one heck of a yoke mount...

It's a blast isn't it? I think it may be the most fun I've had in an airplane!

That's what I'm trained to do. So clearly you pass through this barrier speed on your way to Vx, but I'm still kind of curious what the value of publishing this specific number is?

So, does it matter how far away the 50 ft obstacle is? Seems you'd want to get to Vx as soon as you can then climb until clear of any obstacles?

65 KIAS.

I’m in process of knocking off some rust and getting an IPC. I ran across something I’ve never heard of and it doesn’t make sense to me. CFI said he couldn’t explain but Cessna has it in their POH (which he showed me). Barrier speed. It’s a column in the takeoff performance tables for a P model...

Indeed! I've got an HP-16C (programmers calculator based on the same platform) that I bought ~1985. Still works just fine.

Nice!

Last night was Sonny’s Barbeque. But we use a cookbook (old school, I know) called the 5 O’Clock Grill quite a bit. I recommend it.

Very cool!

CAVU Henning. I had a few exchanges (all pleasant) with him on the red board before here. He was a character for sure.

I've always wondered what the technical justification for not making the new Garmin units plug compatible with the old? Obviously Avidyne managed. I realize the 530 doesn't have a form compatible replacement but the 430 does. I can imagine many marketing, perhaps borderline nefarious reasons...

You left room to upgrade. Strategic thinking.

Musubi. Yum!

If you can push start your airplane, you're in much better shape than I am. :D

It's not TIGHAR publishing. If this pans out, it's then end of TIGHAR's huckstering fundraising.
