I haven't flown it. Yes it was put on a stand but it wasn't broken in. Thats what the flight is for. I'm concerned with not breaking it in correctly. I want to avoid glazing, but i also dont want to run it too soft. I was hoping someone would look at my script and critique if i should do...

Ok, so my made a guide for the break in. Can someone please offer some critique? 1) Normal run-up but don’t cycle prop 2) Normal Takeoff Monitor fuel pressure and fuel flow If too high, reduce with mixture If too low, abort the takeoff If you don’t get within 100rpm of 2700, abort the...

I looked in the App Store but can’t find it. Can you tell me the name of the app?

He said “use 75% power, run it hard” My plan is to stay at 2,000 feet. I would have to reduce power to achieve 75%. But do I reduce with MP or RPM?

The paperwork says 75% power. Do I do that with WOT and use RPM to achieve 75%? Or do I pull MP and leave it at 2700RPM? Or both? There's no guidance in this paperwork

I got the paperwork which is identical to the link at the top of this page. It doesn't say anything about leaning in flight. Should I just leave it full rich?

They put it on a test stand but my mechanic says the ring seating has not been done. He also says don't lean at all. But another thing i'm reading online says to set up 75% power and lean to 100 deg ROP. Which should I do? The manual doesn't say

So the document says to reduce to climb power after takeoff, my POH for my arrow does not have a climb power setting... Additionally it says to reduce to 75% power for the first hour, 65% power for the second hour. My mechanic is saying to run it full power/full rpm/full mixture for the first...

Just had a new IO-360 installed in my Cherokee Arrow. Can anyone please tell me how to break the engine in? The only thing the mechanic said was “run in hard for 10 hours, change the oil, run it hard for 25 hours, change the oil, and you’re done” But I feel like there should be more specifics...

Why carry additional fuel you dont need? When you have 6 people loaded up on a 5 hour flight, I carry what I need. Garmin Pilot also prevents me from filing an illegal alternate. It keeps the paper trail legal and me out of trouble is all I'm trying to say. There's whats legal and whats safe...

I left Foreflight 2 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Garmin Pilot tells me if I need an alternate and whether or not my alternate is legal. It keeps the paper trail legal. One time, changing my departure time by 15 minutes was the difference between legally needing an...

Come sit reserve at PSA. You'll see why all the forced upgrade guys are bailing for places like Kalitta, Sun Country, etc. There's no movement. Some guys will flow to American Mainline before ever holding a line again.

Read above. You go from 18-20 days off a month (if you SAP down). Or if you want to work, you still SAP down, then pick up extra flying on "days off" which pays higher. From that you get forced to upgrade which involves 11 days off a month, sitting hot reserve up to 8 times a month, and for a...

For us it goes: Step 1) Everyone bids for Round 1. Those who get Round 1 gets awarded a line Step 2) SAP opens and Round 1 lineholders make their schedule Step 3) Company looks at all the leftover flying and makes buildup lines Step 4) Round 2 opens. If you're senior enough you get a build up...

Schedule Adjustment Period. So you bid for a line in seniority order. Then after the award, you have this 24 hour window where you can literally drop everything and pick things up. Its basically First Come First Serve except the reserve grid is faked into being all green. Only thing is you...

Thats the nice thing about SAP which PSA has. Most airlines don't have a SAP. SAP is a 24 hours period where you can drop whatever you dont want and pickup whatever you do want. Its a first come first serve system. It allows me to work a 6 day trip, 1 day off, then a 5 day trip and get 18...

Watched the first few minutes then I skipped around a little. Honestly everything he talked about is just normal for a regional. In my opinion, he didnt even talk about the bad stuff

Considering their open-time is paid at 300%... we get 125% There's things that Mesa has that kicks PSA's you know what. From my experience, our reserve rules are even worse than Mesa :(

Honestly, as long as they keep filling classes, the company won't care to change anything. Oh yeah, your FO retention bonus after your 1 year anniversary - its paid out over time not all at once after 1 year. So my friend who spent 15 months as an FO then got forced to upgrade? Yep, he isnt...

I enjoy working here, I just don't like when people are told lies. I won't sway you away from PSA, I just want you to understand some facts. 1) Current time to be a R1 line holder (FO/Captain) CLT: 14 months/3 years 11 months CVG: 8 months/3 years 6 months DAY: 8 months/3 years 5 months DCA: 9...
