Supposed to do Fairbanks Tanana Kotz but i went back to bed after I saw the weather. Nearly -60 in Tanana, with the negative density altitude to match. Maybe someone can flap their wings and see what happens. Kotz is pretty warm, -20 today. Someone else can go blow their struts and tires and...

Density Altitude hit -9k feet here today. Not that I’ll be trying out the plane, my personal min is -40, but thought it was interesting.

I was asked on flight following number of souls onboard and fuel remaining one time on flight following, was never asked that before but Barrow to Anchorage is a lot of dropouts of radar so there was an hour or two I was out of radar and comms.

The original is fine, I hope they just leave it alone. The military must be trying to boost their drone pilot operator recruitment.

Called back and they are all filled. 220-290k was the range I got PIC doe. AMT positions open, similar benefits. Probably be an easy job with new planes. AMT

Second PC-12ngx delivered, another jet on the way. Still a few positions open last I asked.

Town I live in is wet, so not a big of a deal like other places, but no, mostly freight or freeze thats too expensive to ship general freight, relatively.

They se they seem a bit small for what I need, pretty planes though.

They still rumble around, although I heard the feds have been giving them a harder time with them, so they might not be around much longer. He has quite a collection out there, their new BAE-146's look out of place sitting next to the huge pile of dc-6's.

Two women like that would cost me more in the long run then any airplane would.

I use a couple of cherokee six's, the useful on one is 1700, other one is only 1600 without seats, so realistically they only take 1k lbs or so with fuel and myself, I only fly my supplies in, no pax, I don't need pressurization. I would love a turbine twin, but the cost for HSI/OH on two...

I typically do shorter flights, longest is usually around 400nm. I want something that can haul a decent load and can handle icing. I really want to justify the cost of a turbine single, but would rather not finance something at this time. A pa-31 seems to check all the boxes, luckily my shop...

Seemed to work fine in the summer, this was at -40 oat on landing.

Did one strip of tape and it came up a little. Will try more. These pa-32s run cooler then my other planes in the winter.

I found a set for 301 pa-32's but none around that I saw for the PA-32 cherokee I have, will just stick to tape until I find something correct for it. Should I shoot for midrange on the gauge? The oil temp struggles to stay above 120 when its warm around 0f, but is lucky to get above 100* when...

I use aluminum foil tape it doesn’t seem to break, my oil temps are just above green in cruise, 90-100

Oil temp is running low in cruise in winter, taped cooler on my bonanza and 182 to get them into the green in cruise but the pa-32 is cowled a little better, what oil temp should I try for, 140-180?

Essentially this, with the G5 driving it, makes it really easy to input what I was already bugging once inbound.

That’s how I see it, but when ATC says cleared for the approach, wouldn’t any published sections be considered to be on an approach.

I asked in Avionics, but maybe better suited to this section; I know the Trutrak in certified installations has a 700’ agl limit and coupled approach limitation, can it be used legally prior the final approach fix using heading and altitude bugs, specifically during IPC or Checkride? The manual...
