Where is yours moving too?

Thats what I was wondering, sounds like the hangar owner will be on the hook for a lot of cash. Thats why they sell hangars keepers insurance. Cant have enough if you rent a hangar for planes like those.

I just bought a 560 and I like it so far. Well see if I like it once I get to use it and if I dont I will put it up for sale.

They decide all the time without court, ive seen it happen to pilots and owners for both "in motion" and "not in motion" claims.

I would say go ahead and get it for your peace of mind. It is sort of a pointless policy to buy with not much benefits, as with most aircraft policies if there was a claim no matter what the cause the insurance company can always find you negligent for what ever reason and refuse the claim anyways.

I need to move out of the tornado belt someday. I cant get anything done from trying to decide what to do with things when there is forecast of tornados , lol.

Ive had a brand new impulse coupling on my plane get rusty in the first six months, seems to be a common problem.

I had a arrow come into the shop years ago with the opposite problem, his gear would stop half way up.I checked everything and found it to be a broken wire on the gear leg inside the wiring harness going to the ground safety switch and when the gear would go up it would disconnect the switch...

My guess would be they dont the liability of the planes parked on the ramp. The last airport I was at that discouraged tieing down also had a sign on the ramp that said "tie down at your own risk, the airport X is not responsible for loss or damage to aircraft" There was one airport I landed...

I use the 1/2 nylon rope too, and carry a set with me on trips. The nylon seems to do well and dosnt deteriorate as fast as some other ropes. You might make sure your destination airport allows tie downs, Ive been to a few airports that dont allow planes to be tied down.

I left yesterday and still enroute home (22 hr drive) i never noticed much in the way of lower attendence, all i was looking at was planes :P

I think I lost about 5 lbs over the last 4 days of SnF, though I didnt eat a whole lot of food, was too busy walking around and looking at planes.

We must have missed you. Then again I wasnt sure who I was looking for. :)

Im glad I drove in, lol. I will be here until Friday.

You might also consider freelancing. Thats what Im doing right now and have been fairly busy so far.

It has been my experience that most shops will not keep you on for long when work slows, and it seems that the work loads are always fluctuating in this business. Most shops will do lay offs based on seniority, but others it wont matter how long you have been there. I had one A&P job lasted 4...

You will likely have to be able to relocate if you want constant work until you get a few years experience, then you will have more options on locations. I had to move out of state to find employment when I got my A&P, then more options became available as I gained experience. Also be prepared...

Nothing going on here but wind and more wind. So no flying today or pretty much anything else, slept in.

Thats about the average wage for a A&P mechanic. Ive never made anymore than that during the years i was able to stay employed at one location, though I dont think that salary would support a C182 very well. My bank would not lend me the money to buy a plane with that salary until I started my...

This is ever so true. Ive always done very through annuals and when a owner comes along that only flies on perfect VFR days wanting a "paper annual" I have to tell them them I cannot help them. Ive lost a few customers with that policy, but I dont want to deal with the aftermath of those "paper...
