My Cherokee 180E generally draws about 15-20 amps with the LED landing light, LED beacon, and fuel pump on. I recently noticed that since it got over 90 degrees outside I'm drawing 35+ amps with just the beacon on in cruise flight. This doesn't seem right to me. Any thoughts on what could be...

Going to be in Calabasas for a week soon and was wondering if any local airports, clubs, or flight schools have Piper Cherokees for rent?

I'll get my compass deviation card calibrated and installed. Thanks for the informative discussion.

I've got a 1970 Cherokee 180E

So, are you saying 14 CFR 23.1547 no longer exists and a compass deviation card is no longer required, or is the current in effect Section 23.1547 what we go by for compass card deviations? § 23.1547 Magnetic direction indicator. (a) A placard meeting the requirements of this section must be...

Is a compass deviation card required equipment for VFR flights? If so, can someone point me to the applicable FAR?

I'm trying to schedule my PPL checkride with a specific examiner and I'm having trouble getting the examiner to call me back or offer alternative dates for my checkride. This has been going on for over a month. I'm fed up and looking for recommendations for DPE's that you've used in the OKC...

Question about filing a VFR flight plan. Recently started using an iPad with my flying. My iPad does not have a data subscription but connects to Stratus wifi for traffic and weather. I'd like to use Foreflight to file and activate my flight plan, but without a data subscription it won't...

If this 180 doesn't have one, I'd spend the Garmin G5 money on getting a TruTrak autopilot installed. LOTS more bang for your buck with a good autopilot in IFR conditions than a G5.

Equipment: Garmin 430W Comm1 Narko MK12D TSO Comm 2 King KA134 TSO audio panel Last thursday at the end of a routine flight I didn't think anyone was talking to me in the pattern even though I was making my calls. (I can receive loud and clear with Comm1 and Comm2). Today, on the ramp, a...

The article states the ground/tower told them to use the grass runway. I would have declined that offer/instruction and landed on the runway.

from the article "future models will be carried aloft not by propellers but by enclosed fans"

The set screws on my Narco MK12 knobs are stripped and the knobs are not holding tight anymore. Anyone know of a source for replacement set screws and part number or replacement knobs with new set screws?

I just joined. Should help boost the numbers when I start my winter training.

Stereotype much?

Print out the 1st Amendment and bring it with you and hand it to the FSDO. If you so choose, show the FSDO your logbook and SHUT UP. DON'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. The more you talk, the more doors you open even if you don't realize it. FAA is the government and it is their responsibility to...

Thinking about going with the Trig TT31 ADS-B transponder and have a question. I currently have a Garmin GNS 430W unit installed. The TT31 transponder can slide into my existing King KT76A tray but will I have to install an additional GPS antenna or can the TT31 piggyback off of my existing...
