    Applied carb heat - nada

    I’ve had this happen on my pa28, the carb heat cable broke apart. It’s metal so it rusted. General wear and tear. Mechanic will need to replace the cable.

    Spark Plugs

    If you want the plugs to last a drop longer, lean for takeoff too. It’s a bit ballzy, but my mechanic (also a former flight instructor) taught me to lean on the roll or at least on the climb. Any time I take my plane to him and he checks the spark plugs, they barely show any signs of lead...

    Keep oil warmer during winter flight

    I fly a Piper PA-28-181 and noticed lately in the extreme cold -10c and colder that the oil temperature is only just making it to the green. This is a steam gauge so I can’t give you exact temperatures. Someone suggested to me that there’s an item that can be installed where it will trap the...

    What would you do if you found out the plane you bought was not airworthy?

    Regardless of what the contract states, the FSDO will still go after the mechanics who illegally signed off the logbooks knowing that ADs were not complied with. So I would call the seller, threaten them that if they don’t pay my mechanic of choice to comply with the missing ADs and the fake...

    Slowing down to Va in turbulent conditions

    How turbulent does it need to get where you find it necessary to slow down to Va or lower? In my case I fly a Piper Archer (PA28) Usually when it is pretty light and it happens sporadically and infrequently I just ride through it below yellow line. When it becomes uncomfortable and when...

    Looking to start a small flight school

    I purchased an archer with the same thing in mind as what you are thinking. Initially put it on leaseback with the intent to later start a flight school and add more aircraft. Terrible idea First, your reserve for maintenances are way too low. $300 for a 100-hour? Are you sure? Owning a...

    Can I file and fly IFR without the rating?

    You can definitely file, and if he’s acting PIC, you can also work the radios and “accept” the clearance. He’s the acting PIC, you are just helping him out. He’s responsible if you read back something incorrect, flew the wrong approach, etc. In the airlines and charter, dispatchers who are non...

    10 year sitting plane

    Yeah I wouldn’t offer more than 5-10k for the airframe itself. By the time you get everything replaced you would’ve spent slightly less on a ready plane Think about it New battery Engine overhaul Prop overhaul New spinner New alternator New hoses Possible rewiring many of the avionics...

    CFI renewal question

    I understand you can renew by having a record showing an 80% pass rate as long as it was the first try. I have 5 passes but one of those 5 - he failed his check ride with another instructor and then came to me to re sign him off In this situation, is this considered "first try"?

    Sticky yoke

    Perhaps the maintenance shop isn't taking good care of the plane(s). Had the same issue at one place combined with tons of other maintenance issues such as balding tires that aren't getting replaced, etc. (we may even be speaking of the same school for all I know) and I changed rental schools...

    Best route to take Long Island, NY to Central NJ

    128.12 overlooks kennedy. When I first started getting class B transitions, 128.12 were the ones who would give it to me. 125.7 would usually tell me "ask the next controller". The last time I went VFR, I was able to get a class B transition from 125.7, but then again I only tried that once. Now...
