Shouldn’t be a problem if they can get rid of it. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/app_process/exam_tech/item40/amd/malignantmelanoma/ I’ve had a couple of cases of basal cell (which are in the same block) and had no problems with my medical.

Most of my trips were to LA or the Bay Area so not much point in going high for an hour flight. 20 gph keeps the CHT at 350 and TIT below 1350. The nice thing about the turbo is that you can take off in the Central Valley when it’s 110 and the plane barely notices the high DA. It also comes in...

The rear seat comes out in the T210L. It’s easy to take out but kind of a pain to put back in since the nuts for the anchors are in the wheel wells. We had the IA make up another W&B so we are legal either way. Ours will hold 950 lbs and you’d have to put really heavy people in the back to...

I fly a 160 HP Cherokee and a Turbo Arrow. The Arrow is a nice instrument platform and because of its higher speed, you may be able to get in more approaches in the same amount of time. If you plan on buying/flying a retract then the 40 hours in the Arrow will help with insurance. The Cherokee...

I did not know that. Good to know.

Since we’re on unlikely scenarios, would it be possible for water in the fuel to freeze and float to the top of the tank, then when the plane enters warmer air, the water melts and stops the engine? My guess would be yes it could freeze and float and no it wouldn’t stop the engine because the...

The CFI airplane does not have any questions on helicopters, balloons, etc. while the AGI and IGI exams have a few.

FYI, per the FARs you aren’t allowed to swing a compass—it has to be done by an avionics tech or A&P and then logged in the airplane logbook. There was a discussion a while ago here and there is an AC with details.

Almost right. You need 50 posts before you can post stupid answers.

Any A&Ps know if this is a viable method for most of us? (iv) Use a lighted borescope capable of 10X or higher power magnification display through existing access points (e.g., wing root fairing, landing gear panels, internal lightening holes, or other access points depending on model).

One thing I’ve never got a satisfactory answer to is whether it is still possible to overboost with the Merlyn wastegate. With the fixed waste gate, it definitely is possible to overboost on takeoff, but since the Merlyn adjusts the MP automatically, I would think that it wouldn‘t allow...

If you are running macOS you might have accidentally switched your default shell to zsh.

I’m sure this was covered before, but I can’t be arsed to look it up. Legal Interpretation Kortokrax - (2006) CFI is not a passenger We agree that, for purposes of section 61.57(b), an authorized instructor providing instruction in an aircraft is not considered a passenger with respect to the...

I never gave it any thought. One benefit of living where we don’t have to worry about wind.
