Sounds like I’m about to spend some money…

3M 1300 works great, but be careful, as it’s yellow and sticks to everything.

The problem with that is it’s an Advisory Circular. The second sentence in it says it’s not mandatory and not a regulation.

Doesn’t matter. It’s a “small US registered aircraft built at least 30 years ago,” and it’s not operating internationally or in an ADIZ. Unless he’s a 135 operator (obviously not), seems pretty cut...
Dual EMags for sure. I always carry a small “jumpstart” lithium battery anyway. If your battery is fully dead and you handprop, you still won’t have anything coming from the alternator unless you...
At no time did I mention you. I would fully trust you do a great job based on your reputation here and after watching your videos. I have heard many other horror stories though, both here, and in...
Just a (late) update on this…
Shortly after this thread, I started the process to get the “Restricted” airworthiness cert reissued with a DAR. He just needed some documentation and it was going...
I second Web. Remove and document it, and move on. Why does the FSDO even need to be involved? They aren’t in the business of analyzing 70 year old planes for every change and comparing them with 70...
1. I rebuilt my A fuselage last winter. I removed all metal belly parts except the rear panel. The access was useless, it was heavy, and it’s easy to repair fabric, especially on the belly. I...
Your old A has a little bigger rear window now…

That makes sense FF. I’d bet that was the main issue. A pilot may not fly a RNAV/VNAV with the same approach “cone.” Still safe since he was acting a VFR eyes, but might not replicate the...
Caveat this with I’m not a DPE or CFII, someone correct me if I’m wrong. **edited to remove outdated info**
And Merry Christmas as well. I’ll take the cold up there over the terrible roads down...
ILS is not the only way to get the PA for training. LPV can be used for the PA requirement in checkrides and IPCs.
Talkeetna only has LNAV/VNAV, so from what I understand, he was modifying those...
From my understanding, he was modifying a GPS instrument approach for testing purposes. It was safe (as he was a safety pilot) and met the checkride eval criteria, but the FAA was not happy about...
Well seeing as how I was the one that did the helmet selection and testing process, yes it’s taken very seriously, but your cynicism is noted. Sounds like you love your helmet, great!

No way I’d fly out of the Anchorage general area, much less to Nome, without winter camping gear. Enough to comfortably live in the snow for a few days minimum, even if I’m not planning on it. With...
I’d bet in addition to bands it would work great. The more wattage the better for sure. I’d wonder if 250w concentrated into 2 inches would heat the oil too much in its immediate area? No idea if...
I’m no expert, but I don’t see this working anywhere near as good as a Reiff. This is trying to heat everything in the engine with a 2 inch long element directly inserted into still oil. Wouldn’t it...
Does anything say don’t use autogas or it could ruin the coating? Seems like this is a huge problem, especially since so many cubs and older planes use it these days.

That’s true. I guess I’ve had the pod since before I recovered, but I still think I’d remove the middle panels. Belly fabric is pretty easy to repair since it’s not as cosmetically important. The...
I removed the factory metal belly on my A when I re-did the fuselage. The rear panel was kept but the rest was removed along with all associated tabs. As much as I thought I’d like it when I got it,...
I’d sure agree with that DGA, it makes interpreting these difficult, as there isn’t really any standard definitions for terms.

IMO, “approved type” is different from “type certificated,” as both of those terms are used separately and would counteract is they were the same. If they were the same meaning, the first paragraph...
What is the TSO requirement for skis? CAR 3 says they have to be an “approved type.” What did “approved type” mean in 1949?
