Approving/disapproving a field approval is admin. I'm looking for where the 10% HP number came from. I doubt it was guessed at but maybe. Web

So what FAR or CAR is this drawn from? Web

Serious question about this: I was under the impression that the 10% increase limit was for increasing the HP of the engine. Are you saying that it...

It was originally on a specification sheet. Web

You might be able to work it as an orphaned aircraft. Looks like no one actually owns the spec sheet/type certificate. Web

Might have to call the New York ACO for more info. Web

What does the TCDS list as 'certification basis'? Web

We're only inclined to do that when you bend 'my' airplane. Web

To many different types of nuts to go by number of threads showing. Use the parts manual or measure. This clip is from the AC43.13-1B. Web

Maybe use a headless stud with a jam nut? Glad you didn't damage anything besides the seat cushion. Web

Thanks for putting up with us! Web

You need to determine how much of the life was spent outside vs in a hanger. Web

Hi JethTran You are referring to AC power transformers. On small aircraft, we are using engine driven DC generators and alternators. The power...

I've never had problems with ambient temps and I've used this technique on cars, trucks, farm equipment, and airplanes. You need to jack up the gear...

The old school way is to tighten the nut while spinning the wheel. Stop when you just see/feel a resistance to spinning. Back off to the nearest flat...

I'm NOT a fan of built in intercoms for several reasons. So, in your case I'd think you have two choices. Use the plug in system in the second...

Clunky but electrically makes sense. Web

Cough . . . cough . . . Web

It won't start a fire or destroy the intercom but it's not a good idea. The unit is designed for the impedance of two headsets. If you connect two...

I like mounting a panel to the aft side of the tubing that lays against the firewall. Brake the edges to give it some stiffness and attach it to the...

Screen shot from the Stratus setup instructions for ADS-B out. Web

The ICAO address and N number can lead to the owners info with a simple online search. How is that not broadcasting owner info? Web

Complete aircraft information is programed into the unit after installation, including ICAO address and N number. These identify the owner. Web

How about the number that have it and choose to not turn it on? My view is that the system CAN make life more dangerous. When operating in areas...

Yes you can install an ADS-B system powered by battery only. It's a CAR3 aircraft so just use your head when selecting the battery and be sure to use...

In a nutshell, if you have an ADS-B out system installed, it must be transmitting (transmit mode). The reg makes allowances for operation if the...

I'd like building that panel. Lots of realestate to work with. Web
