    Is AvWeb Done?

    That's what many of the people that DO participate in commenting have been saying all along. Most folks are not interested and don't care about group involvement and participation. Thank you very much for pointing out that life goes on just fine with political talk in comment sections.

    Is AvWeb Done?

    I sure wish that everyone used the same definition for catch words like 'Political'. "You're too Political" What does that mean? Many bureaucracies are outlawing 100LL. Other bureaucracies are creating and/or increasing landing fees. Congress has attempted a number of times to implement...

    PA28/32 Wing Spar AD - Show me the data!

    Out of the 84 PA-32-300s listed none of the total times posted match any of the 4 aircraft reports in my records. The idea of a 50 year old Cherokee doing the ECI with less than 5000 hours doesn't make any sense to me. A number of aircraft listed only have approx. 3000 hours. Not many have over...

    PA28/32 Wing Spar AD - Show me the data!

    Reviewing the documents from the link in your original post under "Source Files" and assuming, that's the only data you're working with. How can you tell if those are all different aircraft? I was involved with dozens of commercial PA-32s that where first in line to be inspected. The first...

    PA28/32 Wing Spar AD - Show me the data!

    Your statistics support the theory that Piper produced a number of inferior spars. The percentage of spars presumed cracked from the ECI is low. So, what's the odds of ERAU having a second PA-28R-201 built in the same year also exhibiting cracks? Yet, other spars in the same fleet didn't exhibit...

    PA28/32 Wing Spar AD - Show me the data!

    @Eric Pauley , Thanks for keeping this topic alive. The FAA did a poor job at researching and questioning the experienced PA-32/PA-28 operators before creating the A.D.. Many places around the world operate the Piper Cherokee Six (PA-32-300/301) and it's +1500 lbs. useful load. It's a very...

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    Working on aircraft with no factory support for parts, they had to fabricate the brake hose. If you fabricate anything you test it. In this case the aircraft should have been put on jacks and the gear swung. Most likely the brake hose would have failed in the shop and this would not have...

    Conspiracy theorists, grab your tinfoil hat and strum your HAARP

    Those guys in the helicopter could have just drove right up to HAARP and saved a lot of money. Taking picture with a drone would have been right up close. :rolleyes2: The highway going by is the main road between Anchorage and everywhere. Not long ago I drove by in a modern vehicle and it...

    Is it mandatory to perform a new weight and balance after a paint job?

    It's been stated that if you add a 5 pound radio that a Weight & Balance revision is necessary so, why wouldn't adding 18 pounds of paint? How do you find the Center of Gravity of a paint job?

    Is it mandatory to perform a new weight and balance after a paint job?

    You are so right about control surface balancing. I'm surprised how many A&Ps are unfamiliar with the process. These pictures taken while a group of A&Ps working on the field showed up and became knowledgeable of control surface balancing and adjusting the counter weights. Some of the mechanics...

    AI Rant

    About two years ago the stock market went A.I. crazy. The financial surge in the 'Tech. Sector' like NAVIDIA (NVDA) is because an algorithm successfully modified it's own code and improved itself. That has brought ChatGPT and other "Generative A.I." forward for public use. The big bet at this...
