    Why do my EGTs spike on landing?

    Everything is normal until short final. CHTs are good-cool, maybe 320-350. EGTs are normal, and respond well to leaning. Full rich, short final, throttle idle and the EGTs spike into the yellow, uniformly and quickly. I lean a lot on the ground. No problem, nothing unusual.

    Why do my EGTs spike on landing?

    CHTs are stable. EGTs to me mean unburned fuel leaving the cylinder and igniting in the collectors/risers. For the life of me, I can't see how that happens. In terms of absolute numbers, I'm not sure yet. I can tell you that normally EGTs are level and blue on the bar graphs. When landing...

    Why do my EGTs spike on landing?

    The last couple flights, my EGTs soar when I pull the throttle back while landing. The EGTs on the JPI rise sharply, and all the columns turn yellow. The rise is equal among all 6 cylinders (O470R). Engine runs fine, but I am concerned that this appears to be an aberration. If I give it a...

    In cockpit WIFI

    https://www.starlink.com/aviation Courtesy of Elon. The prices are nuts now, as are all the other internet options. But it shouldn't be any more expensive to provide the service in the air than on the ground. I suspect prices will drop.

    First aviation headset- choice?

    I have the QT Halo. I have had good luck with them. When I had a problem, I called the company and the problem was solved right away. I used to use Lightspeeds, and they were okay as headsets. However, I would forget to remove the batteries. Do that once and the next time you have a ruined...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    I really don't care. I feel sorry for the girl and her family. He's a jerk. That doesn't make him guilty. It doesn't make him not guilty. It just makes him a jerk.

    Avionics thefts- Chicago edition

    I saw something like that on I-81 North in New York, right at a "Y" junction with another highway. The police car was parked right at the Y in the middle . One the left rear fender was a box from Dunkin Donuts. Nearly lost urinary control....

    Beech sierra down KEEN

    Agreed, looking at the video it does not look like fuel exhaustion at all.

    Show Me Your Cessna Panel With G5s

    I think that's right. Pin 11 and Pin 12. I thought the book said Pin 11 was low fuel indication, but from what you've found, that appears wrong. I don't think it's fuel flow though, since when the engine is off it is not illuminated. Pin 12 is the other values Out of Range. Not bad...

    “Airspace Reservation” and “Exercises Scheduled”

    Opposing Bases had some discussion about this. AG, a member of the National Guard, said that a lot of preparation goes into those exercises. If, like an MOA, you just fly through, you upset a lot of planning and take away training from a number of people.

    Avionics thefts- Chicago edition

    Many years ago, my brother and I needed a ride from Newark to JFK. We got an airport limo because it turned out to be cheaper than a cab. The driver was very friendly. As we drove on, I noticed the many cars on blocks. The driver said that he was driving on the highway and got a flat tire in...

    Avionics thefts- Chicago edition

    You should check that at the range. I thought there was a large spray from a shotgun, but at a range of 10-15 ft common for CQB, the pattern is rather small. We did it as part of our training.

    That is the same reaction to desegregation. No matter what the Supreme Court says, they're going to continue the way the always have. It's not a winning strategy, but they are helpless to change.

    Garmin repair turnaround

    7-10 days. Just had a 430W redone. I was told between 7 and 10 days and they shipped it out on the 7th day. Doesn't matter what's wrong with it, they replace the same things no matter what. If those things don't fix it, Garmin can't fix it. There are no board level repairs. I should add...
