    What's this vent cooling?

    I have seen lots of those batteries used in experimental aircraft but never the metal jacket one. Besides the metal jack probably would not fit in you battery support bracket. In light sport aircraft, everything is about weight, the metal jacket would add weight and not improve anything. If...

    What airplane is this? Are there any tube cooling the mags? The firewall looks like spilled hydraulic fluid from servicing the brake reservoir.

    Week 2 of Zodiac CH650 Build

    I built a 601XL about 13 years ago. Suggest starting with the tail before the wings. Good learning on how to do it and easier to fix mistakes. That was back in the days we had to drill all the holes though. With the pre-drilled skins it may not matter as much.

    Flying with inop alternator

    You might consider the type of alternator. Friend with a Columbia 400 flew with an inop alternator. Columbia has a belt driven and a gear driven alternator. The gear driven one was inop. Turns out the gear driven one's coupler had failed shedding metal into the engine. Engine is now in for...

    The most difficult thing I have to do when providing flight instruction....

    Stay off the flight controls. "Your aircraft" or "my aircraft" but not "our aircraft". If you are putting in control inputs how does the student know he is not doing it right? If you need to put in control inputs to stay alive, "I have the aircraft."

    Most efficient approach to Insurance coverage?

    Instruments ILS Question

    You wrote If during an ILS approach in IFR conditions, the approach lights or any portion of the runway environment are not visible upon arrival at the DH. Sounds to me like you cannot see the approach light or anything else. You said "I've argued no it does not... it says you can't see...

    Instruments ILS Question

    The mins for an ILS are typically 200 and 1/2. On a 3 degree glideslope, 200 feet would be approx. 2/3 mile from the runway. The approach lights a generally 3000 feet long or about 1/2 mile. If the weather is at mins, the only thing you would ever be able to see is the approach lights. If you...
