ebay. But what model #? I could use one for a spare (edit- specific model # for the servos- my pitch servo is a 065-0059-03; roll is 065-0060-001)

Also- this accident highlights the dangers of obstacles around airports that may only be known to locals. I looked today and the only identifiable call out for this obstacle is in a user comment on Foreflight. Minimal comment in Remarks section and buried within a lot of other remarks about...

Does Gem plant have some Civil liability here for failing to adhere to the FAA mitigation study by not painting the stacks as required?

ADSb track has the look of a Vmc rollover? Maybe right engine decided not to cooperate when they pushed up power for the go around?

Anyone know what this is? Aspen tech note TN2010-10 mentions that Min Alpha TAS/Alt and Max Alpha TAS/Alt may need adjustment to correct pitch lag. That is done via EA100 config program. However they mention if this is done, you should adjust TAS Measurement Covariance to 25. I have seen other...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but wondering if there has been any updates on KFC230? I have a KFC150 that is causing issues. With OH servos costing $2-3k each and OH computer for $4-7k I would be mostly there going KFC230. But I have an Aspen PFD/MFD through the ACU100 controlling the KFC150...

I think there’s a lot of lessons that we can learn from this. All of us can be complacent in preflight or in a rush at times, or agitated and distracted by others. In addition, despite plenty of hours in the make and model of airplane, his skills were not up to the task of flying on a single...

My POH checklist says to put fuel in crossfeed prior to takeoff to check flow and exercise the valves. But I moved that task to my after landing checklist on the taxi in to specifically avoid this possibility.

Would it run long enough on the fuel in the line to make it to takeoff if the selector was off? On mine I can't even get it started with it off. More likely, he turned it off as part of the shutdown feather sequence if one engine went toes up. But I have heard of props that seemed fine on ground...

I looked into the chemistry as much as I could with limited available information on ingredients. Best I can tell, what it is doing is buffering organic acids produced by incomplete combustion. These acids I would think are part of the corrosion process. So makes sense for me for less frequently...

I would talk to these guys- https://baspartsales.com/ They're the experts in salvage jobs and may be willing to purchase it for parts, or at least discuss what to do with it. Hate to see a Seneca go to waste though, I think its a great airframe. Depending on model, after new engines it would...

I wondered based on flight path if this was a power off stall, where on recovery, one engine stumbled while the other made full power. Seems like that is a recipe for spin entry? Most multi training flights don’t go direct to Vmc demo after steep turns. Usually a power off and maybe power on...

Curious- how would you address a "diagnosis" that was incorrectly put in your chart by a physician? You and I both know we physicians (and lets not even start on PA, NPs) will often list a presumptive diagnosis to get a lab or imaging study approved. There isn't a way on Medexpress to put "this...

well "duh"- of course we'd like to know!

I (like most of us) accept the risk of injury or death as a consequence of flying, and am happy to do so. I love to fly. But the issue is passengers. They don't get the thrill necessarily of flying (some might but most are along for the ride without any ability to control the outcome). They...

I pay for and have used their prebuy service which is nice as it has a helpful checklist of things to look for and they help find a shop in remote areas for you. I have also used their AOG service which was outstanding as it found a cheaper AP to replace an alternator belt on a Saturday instead...

Savvy app for analyzing JPI data is free by the way- you only pay if you want them to analyze the graph for you. But appreciate the home-grown effort. I always wanted a program that was smart enough to analyze trends between flights- say for example CHT and EGT on each cylinder on climb out...

any suggestions on this? The maintenance manual talks about using the hand brake to pump it, but my Seneca IV doesn't have a handbrake, just a parking brake knob that activates a cam in the nose firewall.

was that an age related thing? I've heard of that for "older" pilots but never as an across the board policy.

Good point and I wondered as well. They were at 6000 AGL (6500 MSL). Not a particularly hot day but maybe conditions with stall above Vmc. But can't rule out one engine stumbling during power on stall recovery as cause as well. The student was a large man, the MEI was very slight so may have...
