    Alternator on or off during engine start and stop?

    This seems confusing. Looking around, I only see Cherokee 140s with one standard looking toggle switch labeled "Master." @CC268, does your 1965 Cherokee 140 have a "split" master switch like a Cessna (ALT on one side and BAT on the other)? ... or otherwise have a separate alternator switch?

    Alternator on or off during engine start and stop?

    My flight school’s checklists universally say to start with only the BAT side ON, and to turn ON the ALT side only after the engine is running. However, the "starting engine" procedures in the POHs for the three Cessna 172 models on the line say differently. Two refer to the Master Switch on...

    Does the FAA help with stolen radio issue?

    If desired by PP, wouldn't they just tap the funds from your next sale or sales?

    Harrison Ford doin' some bush landings

    I'm obviously speculating, but I keep seeing the phrase "confirmation bias" and think it probably applies here. I think his mistaken belief that taxiway alpha was 20L could have been reinforced by his being familiar with the parallel runways at this airport, and because you often see an...

    Removing Rubber from a Runway

    Ha. I didn't notice that "powerwashingporn" is part of the URL. Too funny. For you others, there's no porn, just power washing.
