Get a faster airplane. :D

THIS ^^^^^^^ If the wires are switched, it will start on Right but not on Left. Make sure Right is Right and Left is left. Or just start in Both. If you have a combined mag switch and start switch, this can manifest itself by not firing in the Start position, but firing and starting when you...

Do you work on mainly foreign cars? Or domestic?

What, 39 inches MP for take off? My Mooney. The car is a Fiat 500 Abarth, which will actually high 18 pounds boost in transient conditions.

Considering that last time I checked, the average to get the PP was around 65 hours or so, 50 hours is not enough time. TL,DNR but I would start with Glider Training through Solo. Then tailwheel, also through solo. After that, to make the best pilot, the rest of the training would be in a...

No, some mid bodies are the same. The fiberglass tips came sometime on the J. But Fs and Gs did not have them, and are mid body Mooneys

Not winglets (the pointy up ends of the wings), but sculpted wing TIPS. Not sure when they became standard, but my 1986 252 had them from the factory.

At my home field, if you had a hangar (T-hangar, all the same and fairly new) before the beginning of this year, you got a small price bumb from $550 to $575. If you started renting after the first of the year, the rate is $650.

And exactly how does an actual signature make a difference?

Also, in the car world, boost is in PSI. So they mix and match, inches of mercury below ambient and PSI above. Aircraft MP are in inches all the time. But any over the ambient (about 30 inches at sea level) is boost pressure. Both my car and my plane are turbocharged and intercooled. The...

The question would also be, how often does a DME/DME have to ping the DME versus the rate the DME does so? Especially for GA, we don't move that fast that we need an update every second or two.

AFAIK country of certificate has to match country of aircraft registration.

Because GAMI started down that path and had intellectual property stolen.

If someone complained, they would ask you to stop watching it. And if you did not, you could be guilty of failing to follow air crew instructions.

I always liked the idea of using diaper bags for handguns and equipment. WHO would steal a diaper bag????? :D :D

A hundred planes in the service volume of a single DME station is a LOT of planes. :D And a DME/DME nav system would be using closer DMEs versus ones far away. O'Hare has about 78 operations per hour on average.

Rudder pedal extensions are 1.4 or 3 inches. FTFY :) I can't imagine the leg length to be able to reach the rudder pedals with the seat all the way back.

AGI is simple if you do the CFI written at the same time. Same with IGI and Instrument or II written. You could also do your FOI and AGI around the time you do you Commercial rating. AGI is a good way to keep your FOI from "expiring."

The insurance company will set some minimums. But it is also a personal thing, like setting personal minimums. Are YOU comfortable with flying a multi and dealing with potential emergencies.

DME limit is about 100 aircraft per transmitter. 252 frequencies for DME. Stations are not huge, would not be hard to place them at other (cell, repeater, etc) transmitter sites. And DME/DME navigation has been around for a long time. So not inventing anything new.
