Pop out that round inspection panel. Look for a grey, multi conductor wire coming from the strobe light. Does it go to a silver power box, right...

The landing and taxi lights only use a power and ground wire for each. The wires for the originals are wildly over sized but they will function. The...

What's the drawing number for that? Web

LED's have four wires each to connect. Power to strobe, power to nav, synch, and ground. And NO! It's a bad idea to connect the nav and strobe to...

There are no true plug and play lights for the wing tips/tail. Whelen 650s for the tips and 500 for the tail work well to install, but you still need...

Common mod around here. What specifically don't you like about it? Web

Oh yeah. Some of the same guys that will tear you apart over helmet setups will say it's ok to mount something up just high enough for your head to...

Ski gear should be easy but what about floats? Web

Maybe not a piece of cake but certainly a donut. Possibly a cinnamon roll. Web

Wouldn't that constitute a progressive inspection? Web

Guys like dga can take you much deeper on subjects such as this but it doesn't need the depth here. Read FAR43, appendix A for the descriptions of...

And you should consider an enclosed type trailer for the road you'll be traveling. Web

I use generic charge ports that work on either 12 or 24 volts. Occasionally one will make noise (one out of 35 or forty) but usually trouble free....

I know I'm going to hate myself for asking, but how did a switch end up as part of a field approval? Web

That's one reason why I like a master relay on the battery instead of the original battery circuit. Web

Cheap and available locally. Web

Sure! Its the farthest clockwise position on a key switch! If you don't go that route, get the 'real' push button from the Piper catalog. The...

Remember that one of that short list of world's biggest lies is "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Web

It's called troubleshooting. Web

Not trying to cause a fight, but why did you ask the FSDO? If your IA is OK with the radio during annuals, then install it and move on. I'll pitch...

(4) The presence of a sufficient signal radiated from its antenna. This is the requirement for measuring out put power. It's required for all...

91.207 does not call out frequencies. Therefore the same test requirements apply to any ELT. Web

All manufacturers have a minimum signal strength spec for both 121.5 and 406 signals. The squak test where a 121.5mhz signal is checked by using...

That's part of this ELT fight. All ELTs are still subject to the inspection requirements of 91.207. (1) Proper installation; (2) Battery...

That is correct that they have a GPS interface. The interface is just a couple of wires that allow RS232 data to be input to the ELT from almost any...

Unlike most here, I routinely open up ELTs and do the 91.207 inspections. This is why I recommend the Artex products. I've observed that the internal...

This question always starts a fight! lol. My go to is the Artex ELT-345. Web

Why is that? Have you had some kind of compatibility issues? Web

Likely the right mag is operating correctly but the left has issues. Check the P-leads by disconnecting from mags. With mag switches to 'ON', there...

I don't have the luxury of operating in an area that has good cell phone coverage, as some do. And I will put out the best advice I can for the...
