I prescribe these medications every week. I also stop them frequently when other people have prescribed them for inappropriate reasons. These medications are worthy of great respect. If you believe that the conditions for which these medications are prescribed are compatible with flying, or if...

It depends. Yes, the carburetor is cooled as it atomizes fuel. However, the carb does not live in the OAT environment; it is typically in the lower cowl, and the air there is heated by the exhaust and cooling fins. This air temperature is greater than OAT; hence we don't place our OAT probe...

Hard to beat Carhartt for quality and customer service. To me they are the standard against which the others are judged. Plus for the past couple of years they have been offering 25% off to military, medical, and first responders. My wife and I wear lots of Duluth clothes and outerwear. We...

I have not spoken with them personally about it, but recently read on another board that Stein is not doing escrow any longer.

Don’t clean bearings with an air compressor!

Pull the chute?

Before getting a new doctor, find out why they won’t prescribe it to keep it around to take when there is an attack. One possible reason… if you have had repeated attacks, it may be that your uric acid level is quite high…even between attacks. The correct action in this case is to take a...

Skyline Restaurant @ KPMH Portsmouth OH. Looks like a diner from the 50's. Locals eat there. I am based near Big Sandy SJS and go there a lot, but Skyline is better. Breakfast and short order all day, lunch and dinner specials. Fuel is not self service, so let them know when you arrive...

I’m in the market for a 28v set. Would he want to sell them?

I had the EXACT same thing wrong with my airplane… hot or cold, I would crank and crank no start. Various throttle positions, priming, etc. like you described, it would seem to almost start as I let go of the ignition key. I could eventually get it to start, but ran the battery down a time or...

I am flying a Cessna 172N with O-360-A4M, carbureted, of course. I use the carb heat pretty much as taught during flying lessons and per the POH / checklists... As part of an avionics upgrade, I now have carb temperature displayed on the EMS, along with alerts. For now, it's information that...

Simple, really:

I put rubber tubing around engine mount near oil dipstick tube and zip tied the connector to that. I used the same connector you mentioned.

I replaced the impulse coupled mag on the left side of the O-360-A4M on my C172N. I had an impulse coupling break and leave me AOG. It could have been worse—they can grenade and put metal in the engine. what I did different was to buy the NON-impulse SureFly, which allowed me to remove the...

As a physician specializing in geriatric patients, I deal with this issue every single week. The limitations caused by the worn-out knee, non-surgical efforts to improve function and quality of life, pre-op planning, and after the fact rehab (and complications). The operation is overall a very...

I know it's not Friday Joke day, but who cares... Guy goes to get a colonoscopy. For some reason they don't sedate him. Partway through the procedure, the doctor says "well, we are in as far as we need to go. Now we will start to remove the scope." "How much does that instrument cost?" the...

+++ on Aviation Consumer. Only 32 pages (no ads) but has more content than Flying or AOPA magazine. I also save every issue!

The R172K was a separate Cessna model with a Conti IO-360 six-cylinder engine and CSP. There were (are?) STCs for a 180 hp Lycoming 0-360 engines with constant speed props. Avcon was one, Delair another. Both seem to be orphaned now.

Just get an Aera. The Garmin portables just work. They are rugged, reliable, and easy to read. I own and use many iPads, including aviation apps, but I don't use them in the airplane. Look around and you can buy a used 796 and GDL39 for about $1k. Garmin makes 'pak' subscriptions that...

Birds nest in tail blocking aft-most drain hole. Vertical stabilizer is probably full of nests and bird crap too. Ask me how I know…
