    Airline Exit Rows

    This whole "Up-Selling" thing is totally out of control. I'll buy one of the super special deals from the airlines and within three days of departure the Up-Sell attack is on... Pre-buy food, upgrade seating, free baggage, airport lounge, early loading and everything and everything else they...

    ELT frequencies

    The A.D. 17-16-01 is required on all AK-450 and AK-451 ELTs (even homebuilts). A quick way to know the difference is "D-Cell" batteries or Lithium. The D-Cell battery ELT unit is 121.5/243.0. https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/5BAF0370C7871DEB862581A0004AFD68.0001 If you're flying...

    N/A Winekeeping

    I live in Central Washington State along the Columbia River. This area has become quite popular for their wines. We have vineyards and tasting rooms everywhere, dozens of them. I asked that question about "Storing Opened Wine Bottle". Nobody here has ever heard of that before...

    Sun Valley Idaho pireps?

    JohnH, I understand your dilemma. :crazy: You and your wife will love the beauty, food and services that the Sun Valley area has to offer so, spend the big bucks and remind your kids why they're NOT getting an inheritance. "You can't take it with you" as they say, if I was going to splurge...

    Sun Valley Idaho pireps?

    I would look for a good SUV rental deal from Twin Falls, Idaho Falls or other major airport in the region. Leave your plane somewhere other then Sun Valley. That airport is geared to a completely different clientele. You'll know when you drive by and think it's a Gulfstream dealership :eek2:.

    [N/A] What's your blood type and how is your relationship with Mosquitos?

    Start over with your POA survey with peoples diet preferences. I use to be a mosquito magnet until I adapted Hot Spicy food choices. A friend and I went out fishing in an Alaska stream and the cloud of little vampires ate me up. I figured I'd just let them eat me until they didn't like me...

    Tool box recommendations for future A&P mechanic

    Thanks, I like tool and shop stories. When I asked the old mechanic what tools I need he asked me, "are working by the hour?" Yeah,.. "Then you only need a hammer and screwdriver. If the company wants things around here done faster they'll buy the tools". He was right, the company got tired...

    Canadian Mechanic in Texas (or Florida or anywhere in between)

    Just a suggestion, Contact a DAR in Texas now. Annual the Comanche right before you leave Canada then get the plane U.S. Airworthiness Certificate over the next year. Many DARs understand your problem and will help as much as possible. You may have to return the aircraft to Canada for one more...

    Cash is King

    Coincidentally, this market correction is at the same time while the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - Central Bank Digital Currency ( BRICS CBDC ) is being initiated. Maybe it's time to exchange USD for BRICS. The U.S. CBDC is still a couple years out...

    Which single line checklist items, when missed, could lead to a crash?

    Took off and flew to three airports and back home. When I got back the dispatcher told me the aircraft was grounded the day before because the Airspeed Indicator was inop. Guess sometimes I need to pay closer attention. :confused: I asked the dispatcher why they didn't tell me? "You didn't...

    Strange mag issue

    Nobody likes to replace ignition harnesses these days because they are so terribly over priced. The lead tester will not test for a spark plug wire that has a pin prick hole in the insulation. Here's https://www.championaerospace.com/sales-support-usa-canada#SalesandTechnicalSupport...

    Piper Saratoga Turbo Lycoming TIO-540-SIAD excessive fuel burn

    @Joe Vedda, The Lycoming publications (which I don't have anymore) recommends EGT operating temperatures to be about 50 degrees rich of peak. Get the aircraft settled in to cruise then lean until peak and slightly enrich it. If you have 6 point EGT lean to the hottest cylinder then about 25*f...
