Any last minute recommendations? I flying from central GA, planning to go toward Ormond beach and head south. Parking at US Aviation. Airspace seems a little busy. Anything I should expect from ATC that could complicate the trip? Thanks

Trying to plan my flight to KTIX (Titusville, FL), and they have this message: RWY 18/36 CLSD TO AIR CARRIER OPS 2211141436-PERM I would assume this doesn't mean someone like me landing in a single engine plane. Just want to make sure before I get a phone number to write down. :D

My wife booked a Disney cruise. Has anyone flown into Merritt island for a cruise out of port canaveral? It’s a 6 hour drive, maybe a 2 hr flight If it’s doable, anyone that can give feedback about flying/parking there?

I just had my alternator replaced in September. Maybe 20 hours since then. Flying home yesterday, my alternator quit charging. When I landed and removed the cowl, I saw this broken wire. I figure that's the problem, but I'm wondering why it broke. It looks like a clean break. Was it simply...

65 Mooney with alternator. It stopped working at very end of last flight. Checked wires, everything looks right including ground. IA won't get chance to look at it for a day or two. In the meantime just doing some research. How do you know which is bad? I keep battery on float charger so it...

Got into a little debate. A CFI with a student flew in behind me after I landed. The taxiiway is closed due to FBO construction, so you have to backtaxi on the runway. Anyway, I turned around and announced I was starting my backtaxi to the hangars, but he got on the radio and told me I had to...

I'm at the point where I need to get an engine monitor then redo the aluminum panel. Does anyone know who does really nice work? I know most shops can do it, but I want something that looks factory. I'd like either silk screen letters or maybe engraved. I also want someone who is careful...

Just removed, worked great when pulled. Includes tray. $1250 obro I've got pics on mooneyspace. https://mooneyspace.com/topic/35075-kt-74-for-sale/

I'm circling back to the 12v arctic air that is installed in the baggage compartment. I have an older plane with a 14v system. I've read that these work much better in 28v planes. Has anyone installed this in a 14v plane? I'd love to hear any reviews...

They are selling refurbs. I believe it's a $2800 upgrade. The auto pitch trim is $3800 extra. Plus cost of install/removal. BTW I have manual trim in my mooney. Does the 55x offer enough capability to make it worth it? I'm getting ready to cut my panel, and the form factor is different...

My issue is somewhat minor but aggravating. I have an older mooney with manual flaps. The pump had a small leak at its last annual, so I told him to replace the seals. The A&P under him took the pump itself apart, and there are two teflon ring inserts. They apparently are very soft and he...

KI-209 CDI and Aerosonic Altimeter recently removed for Aspen upgrade. Both worked fine when removed. Altimeter checked at most recent IFR certification. Make reasonable offer.

My daughter's boyfriend just sent me a text. Said a small plane crashed on campus about 30 minutes ago. That's all I know.

asking for a friend. He wants to fly to baton rouge for the LSU game. We figure most of the local airports will be pretty busy. Just wondering which would be the best to try.

My wife surprised me with a G5 AI for my birthday. Before I have it installed, I was wondering if anyone has had luck with installing it as a backup? My plan is to eventually have an Aspen unit installed, and I can't do that with a G5 since their both approved as primaries.

I've had the crankshaft seal replaced a few times on my mooney (lycoming O360). It's much improved, but I'm still getting small amounts. I was looking at some pics I took at the last repair. I don't have much personal experience, so I was wondering what you thought of the crankshaft. Are...

I replaced the crankshaft seal and o-ring in December. It was a split seal. It seemed to help but still getting oil leak. Took it back and they inspected it but didn't replace it. Flew it for 10-12 hours with no change. I just had it replaced with a solid seal by another IA, and it seems to...

I had the seal and o-ring changed a month or so ago. I was still getting a little film on the windshield, so they were inspected and reseated. I have about 10 hours on them now. I wiped the area down really well and flew 2 more hours this weekend. This is what I'm still seeing. Is it normal...

Sounds like a dumb question, but I live in central Georgia, but my daughter lives in Kennesaw. I'm not familiar with her area at all. I had her take an introductory flight while she was back home. I checked the rates in Canton and Cobb county, and they are almost double, but I'm only able to...

I'm almost scared to think how stupid this question is, but figured I'd take my lumps online vs getting in trouble at an airport. I'm based at a non-towered airport, and I've never done much besides land, park and takeoff from towered airports. I'm dropping a friend off at KLAL for avionics...
