Funny how fuelers always take there lunch break when a mu2 shows up.

Whats the story behind Rialto. Between it and Riverside I learned to fly. Sad to see it go. Though not all fond memories, the winds were something fierce during santa-ana wind events. Edit. Guess this is a pic thread, don't have any airplane ones but I bent some metal at work recently so I...

It is quite common in the tcds to list a stall warning as required equipment, in which case I would think it needs to be functional.

Try this one, it has satellite view. https://www.iflightplanner.com/AviationCharts/

At work it is expected to use "over" and "out" in every transmission. Then in the plane I'll accidentally say them to ground or FSS till I revert to pilot speak. So embarrassing. Also doesn't help that work has you say "who is talking" then "who you're talking to". It's retarded, you always end...

A bit off topic but anyone have an explanation for this. Rpm redline in the skyhawk I fly is 2600 but the cruise performance tables go to 2700. Why is it so? It's a continental o300.

Also the switch may be on the low (aka ground) side of the hobbs. I've seen that a few times in 172 if it wasn't a factory install.

I would say it's not worth it. Full time at school for almost 2 years. You could have your commercial rating by then for less effort. Also not only does the IA have currency requirements you'll never meet maintaining only one plane, you also have an a&p currency to think of. It's been a long...

Should be a fun flight. Couple tips. 1.Typical summer density altitudes out here are over 10,000ft, don't know your plane type but I always have to choose between fuel and passengers. 2. The wind seems to never stop, there will be turbulence. 3. Highly recommend filing a flight plan, radar...

Don't take me wrong, I love both those planes and they are at the very top of my list when/if I do my kit build. I just don't want to buy somebody elses, it would be a lot cheaper that way though. Also what he ^ said. :)

I think the main issue with owners performing there own maintenance is that for every person that could perform the job well, there is someone that can't or is to cheap to do it right. 20 years ago my dad once repaired the propeller on his ultralight with jb weld:rolleyes:. Thankfully there...

How did I miss going over the top :) I really was ignorant earlier, so many options the more I look. Really wish the plane didn't have pipettes for fuel tanks, seems two fuel stops needed.

I think I'll purchase the grand canyon chart and stay east and south of Vegas. Drop down to Twenty nine palms area, then west into socal, L35. I wanted to avoid the bravo area, living in Wy hasn't been conducive to maintaining my radio skills. edit spelling

Flight planning a trip to southern Ca next month and it feels like it is walled in by restricted airspace with one doorway. Doesn't help that the opening is blocked by Las Vegas Bravo and grand canyon special flight rules. I trained in Socal and never really noticed this huge blockade across the...

48U, only comes in at 7182 but that name has got to count for something.

I am a little fuzzy on the details but your airforce experience will only qualify you for the powerplant test. You are going to need someone to sign you off on it. As far as the IA you need to be an active Ap for a few years to even be eliligible. Also to stay current you have to sign of...

Mine would have to go to an Mu2's air cycle machine. I think it took me almost 6 hours to service it. Uggg never again.

Choosing a quality brand is just as an important consideration as rated wattage. Many ebay products cut cost by skimping on input filtering and shielding. The switching noise inside the inverter will radiate out and can cause noise on intercom.

Don't want to send you down the wrong rabbit hole, but some post types use the hood for pressure, if the glass in the bulb is a different length it won't work, you can try leaving the hood off a couple and push in with your fingers while powered up to see if that's it. I have never heard of a...

Not sure about Piper, but on turbine aircraft that I've worked on if the bulbs weren't exact in all dimensions the posts wouldn't put pressure on the bulbs causing poor or no contact.
