    For Sale Collins transponder TDR 950 14 V

    removed during the upgrade for ADS-B it was in working condition but avionics guy told me that it will not be compatible with GDL88 which I was planning to install. I flew with this transponder for about 8 years without any complain from ATC. It should work fine except as I mentioned may not...

    New to me 310I

    Thanks. There are gems hidden behind the closed hangar doors but hard to find. I do not mind having a ratty interior at least for a while if the air frame is solid. Also like to have an old panel so I can upgrade the way I want. Search continues Good time to get into a twin though because...

    LOP Video

    No What I meant was that installing GAMI in IO 540 will not make a huge difference compared to stock injectors according to them. If I remember correctly I was told that 300 HP continental benefit much more than 300 HP Lycoming. I am not sure if they even have STC for my engine. Then one guy at...

    New to me 310I

    congratulations. Looks like a beautiful bird. For almost year I have been thinking about getting into a twin. What does your research show about different models of 310? Is there one model which is better than other?

    What kind of engine? I was told by GAMI reps that it does not work well or makes difference if you have Lycoming engines. I actually wanted GAMI when I OHed the engine but thats what they told me.

    Flight time as compensation/ is it for hire?

    I think people are reading too much into it. Its my understanding that you as a PP you are allowed not only share the cost of fuel but total cost of flying i. e. calculated hourly cost of flying including fix costs , engine time etc. Not that i will ever ask my friend to pay like that but it...

    Is it time for prop oeverhaul ?

    I normally run my engine at a lower power setting about 60-65% and I get about 148 KTS. Every now and then I cruise at 75% power with mixture just above the peak and I see 158-160 KTS . I never had 2 bladed prop in my this plane or Arrow I flew before Lance so I have nothing to compare with. so...

    5 related adults dead in Cessna 340 crash

    Here we go again name calling !! Let the facts get out before you call someone stupid. As someone said it may not even be related to weather. There are acceptable and unacceptable risks and he took one based on his assessment of overall situation. The GA is inherently risky and risk starts as...

    Maintenance shop wants to add markup on the work of prop / engine shop! Is this normal?

    what the shop doing to you is totally unfair and there is no way to justify this. I am pretty sure they will be able to keep their lights on without the 20% markup on engine but this is just simply greed. I am always OK with markup on the parts but markup on services done by others is...

    My first (and hopefully last) "possible pilot deviation"

    Outcome is what was expected. I had similar experience and I got a warning letter after conversation with a nice lady. Now if you have hired a lawyer and tried to fight back the out come would have been different

    Get a new headset?

    If your audio quality is poor then it may not have anything to do with Bose. I have Bose ANR which is about 13 years old and still has great quality audio. I needed an ANR headset for my passengers and I bought AKG aviation on sale I believe about $800 and I am impressed with the audio...
