The gauge is the same. The difference is how the face is marked.

The Mooney will work with small children, but as they get bigger, they are less than ideal for 4 people. But they are fast and efficient. I have a 252 (turbo) and did Fort Worth to north east Maryland, non-stop, 7.0 hobbs at over 17 nm per gallon.

Most trips I take are nearly as fast or faster door to door in GA versus commercial. Yesterday I was in Fort Worth area. Coming home to MD. Commercial - Hotel to Airport - 30 minutes (traffic permitting) Check in and wait - 2 hours Flight - 2 hours 51 minutes Get bags - 30 minutes Get car -...

Get in touch when you are in the area.

I fly CAP 182s with iPad Gen 9. Use a RAM yoke clamp and other bits.

The problem is, there is no conversion. If you are doing pattern work, with a lot of low power time, it may be 1.2x. But a cross country at 75% power would be close to 1 to 1. My Mooney came with tach time only. At 2500 RPM, the tach = actual time. So take off and climb, tach was greater...

Shouldn't be 1.3 times, but add 0.3 to mil time PER flight. Mil (USAF) is take off to touchdown and does not count taxi time. Otherwise heavies would be making all sorts of time. A 10 hour flight would be 13 hours logged instead of 10.3 or so.

Not enough difference for me to retire my Mini 6. I will wait for Mini 8.

I also have a Continental 360, but TSIO. LOP at 65% I burn around 10 GPH. But higher power and rich, the burn can go much higher. So this plane could burn 30 GPH with the two engines. That is 3 - 4 hours on the 92 - 128 gallons. Hmmm. Not saying this was the issue, due the numbers are...

My experience to/from NE Maryland to CT or VT, IFR, is you WILL go to LAAYK fix. :D Even if you fly an altitude above the Bravo.

TL<DNR everything. But another incorrect assumption was that all the wear particles are steel. There is also aluminum, lead (babbitt bearings), chrome, etc.

Two things, that may be different, is what they measure and use in the engine management computer, and what they display. :D But reality is, you could take an aircraft MP gauge and remark the face to show inches of vacuum. Or in kilograms per square kilometer. :D

I live in MD and have a oil sump heater on my Mooney. I use an insulated cowl cover, just over the top (not strapped around) and cowl plugs. I put a wireless thermometer in the oil door and it reads in the 80s after about 12 hours of heat (have remote switch setup). The CHTs agree when I...

No, worst case is some moron in the clouds while "flying VFR."

Warbirds do that an more. :D P-51 max was 70 inches with 115/145 fuel.

There is 500 hours of experience and then there is 1 hour of experience repeated 500 times. Unfortunately, the best way to get good experience to instruct is to instruct.

Another way to volunteer and also get some free flying time is Civil Air Patrol.

If you want to come north, there is a 7GCBC and instruction at 0W3 in Maryland.

Off the top of my head, I suspect they were introduced with the M20K 231. I know the the first Js did not have them

OK, but how about something that is signed by not notorized?
