    Can bé had on Amazon from China for much less. Tolerances not quite as close, but measurements with a micrometer put them in tolerance.

    Cessna T-206 w IO-520T

    I'm not exactly sure how the fuel metering works on that engine. But hp numbers are normally published at sea level at 15 degree celsius. So if you are below sea level or below a standard temp then more hp can be attained.

    Cessna T-206 w IO-520T

    No ít should not be leaned at lower density altitudes. It needs to be enriched more.

    Cessna T-206 w IO-520T

    More dense air needs more fuel to keep mixture % the same. That's why on normally aspirated engines, it is leaned to best power at higher density altitudes. So at lower density it would need more fuel for best power. Now I don't know on a turbocharged engine what the temperature rise is...

    Accelerated spark plug wear?

    200 hours on massive plugs is pretty good. I have about 900 on a set of tempest fine wires, with only one failure at the 800 hr mark. Even a tempest resistor can go bad, but they do usually last longer. I remember on r1830's and r985's that if we got a 150 hours out of a plug we were happy.

    Any reason NOT to use balance beads?

    With a tube, vs a pull through valve stem, what is the possibility of more than a couple beads being slung into the valve stem and not be able to roll around and do their job. Also I assume they will all run around the same circuit while the wheel is turning. Tubes are much thinner than a tire...

    Update on Catalina Baron crash

    No but you have taken and posess someone else's property. That could create its own legal problems. Say I have my property posted, and I find someone driving there. I say you are trespassing and have to leave, but you can't take your car. Don't think it would go over well in front of a judge...

    That's it I am getting my clearances on the ground

    Not sure if it's cpdlc dependent or not, but WSI weather brief can pull up your clearance. Trying to get a full route clearance some times we would hit refresh on WSI and the clearance would be there. So it was already written down in the app and was easy to read back.

    Cleared Bridge 9 Arrival?

    Cleared via is to follow the lateral portion only. Descend via means to do both altitude and lateral. He should have said cleared via maintain xxx altitude. But if you ever have a doubt, it's best to ask then and there.
