    Newbie question Re: Electronic Checklist and/or Training Apps

    Well.... seeing as you are a lawyer, I will help you anyhow :-) In addition to written and digital checklists..be able to check the major items using CIGARS, GUMP, or something similar...these are the big ticket items that might keep you alive and well.

    Cessna 172 Crashes at Stellantis!

    Hard to say for sure from the pic, but I don't think the belly got like this on one flight. I clean the belly on my plane after every flight...some folks only once a year.

    Ipad mini for foreflight

    To each his own...I have used a 9.7 ipad pro in my two airplanes for years mounted on the yoke. The mount in my Bonanza is actually on the arm of the yoke close to the middle. If I tilt it a bit, my passenger can see it as well. The larger screen has never caused me any problems, but I can see...

    What's that? Found in engine compartment

    I don't think it is a grommet..it looks more like part of a sealing washer/bonded washer. The top metal part of the washer is missing.

    Cessna 172M - Carb temp greater than OAT

    I got carb ice coming back from Sun N Fun on a nice warm day. I was flying over the ocean around Daytona and forgot to use carb heat...scared the crap out of me...I run carb heat almost all the time when flying the Cessna 195....Jacobs R755-9 radial engine.

    Cessna 172M - Carb temp greater than OAT

    The principal is the same..the thermistor changes with temperature. The change in resistance is read as a change in temperature. Thermocouple wire not required.

    Cessna 172M - Carb temp greater than OAT

    RTD sensors are normally used in a resistive wheatstone bridge circuit like Dan suggested. Thermocouple wiring is not compatible. Standard wires are all that is necessary. On my Cessna 195, if my connection gets dirty at the carb, the temp shows too high. If I clean up the connection, it goes...
