Sort of nebulous - doesn't say five days a week, eight hours a day. If interpreted as "full time" it would be more onerous than the IA requirement of "actively engaged" -

Service Bulletin M47-16 with supplement 1 dated Feb 26,1960. But none of these specifically address the O-200. Might look at them anyway, since they have generic hints buried in them.

The SB was...

Ah, now I have to go look. Just when I was getting comfortable on the couch. . .

There is a conversion service letter that states it (the service letter) is FAA approved. Not sure it covers that exact conversion. I'll try to dig it up.

81 here. Sorry I pissed somebody off - it was just an opinion. 14 landings today - I plan to fly until my friends cannot get me in there any more. No problem so far getting in and out of the...

With Web on this - there are all kinds of interconnected adjustments. Big pain in the neck even with factory cowls.

I watched a pair of CC mechanics trim factory doors to better fit the nose bowl...

I think the answer is you must have permission of the owner to use an STC. Sometimes the owner will say “use my products and you may use the STC.” See the Stitts or Cooper manuals.

But if you...

I just applied for a field approval - Cleveland wheels and brakes presumably PMA for the PA-18, but found on a J5, complete with a 337 signed in 1996, hinting that the PA-18 approval was "approved...

Oh, this is interesting! More, please.

It is not as ugly as a Tri-Pacer.
I too thought the Pacer was not really all that attractive, but then Don Lee showed me how to fly a good 160 Pacer on skis - I remain forever impressed.

I got a kick out of Steve's post. Remember that post last month where a guy was quoted $33 grand for a year's insurance coverage? Wealthy folk are apparently wiping these things out on a regular...

My SL-40 ran for decades with zero problems. It has a superb RF Section. But it was in my J3 - really difficult to use memory functions, and lousy internal intercom. Unfortunately, I sold it last...

Not my cup of tea, but a friend just bought a Chief with a battery powered MGL comm radio - two parts, control head and separate transceiver box. It proved intermittent, with the control head screen...

Depends on the DPE. Some are so protective of their designation that a missing sheet metal screw will cancel the ride.

I had a 20 hour solo pilot survive a total engine failure over the freeway. All it takes is a little training and some awareness.

Interesting read. He did not address an aircraft with strobes only. I guess Mark has to fix his flasher?

I think I agree - but for a while there, folks were saying that if a beacon were installed it had to be on for engine start. I do not recall seeing a regulation.

Around here they taxi with...

Well, Callie Graphics has done amazing things for me, both with that bear and with some pretty creative model train stuff. Kind of block out what you want and see if she can do it.

She did a red,...

Joey indicates that it flew fine before VGs, and no other changes were made. If it were my airplane and I was sure the installer had not left lead in the engine comartment or made any other changes,...

That's true. Relative being the operative word. Effectively they are all 3400'. Beginning students can get a Cub stopped in a thousand feet. What you want is 400' agl at the departure end. A...

My problem is that I plan for a total engine failure on each takeoff. A stop and go at MYF, followed by an engine failure, is probably going to be fatal. A crowded freeway with lots of overpasses is...

Odd guy out. We do touch and goes, mostly full stall after the first hour. If I had 5000' of runway and nobody following me I might do full stops, but with our traffic and relatively short runway...

As long as they aren't blue . . .

What I find most often is no concept of where the ailerons should be and why. Then the problem is - these folks are older, quite accomplished, and difficult to get to change habit patterns. It...

Maybe that's why insurance premiums for these things are $33K/year?

While there is no point in touching down at 58 mph, that in itself should not cause loss of control. I have had several...
