Friend of mine has a nice cropduster, turbo prop. He had fuel contamination in August and had to put it down. His choices were a Nebraska cornfield that had a 7 foot high crop with ears on the plants or a soybean field that was about 3 feet tall. He felt that the soybeans having more of a...

Any advise for good You Tube videos on how to set the two Bearing Pointers on a G5 HSI? I understand how they work once set up just need to know how to use them with the Avidyne IFD 540 and define the stations or intersections desired to point them to? #2 Nav is a King.

We have a couple of tinnerman nuts on the tailcone with one side of the internal metal flap broken off. The screws going into the nut hold ok if we use an oversize screw but then they do not match the rest of the screws in the access panel. To replace the nuts it is necessary to disassemble...

I plan to make two fishing trips to Canada this summer if they reopen the border. I have Medicare coverage and a Medicare extended policy. My understanding is that this will not cover any need for health care North of the border should an unexpected need occur. Anyone have suggestions for...

I just received the Moderna vaccine, first shot this afternoon. One of my customers wants me to visit his factory in 13 days for a meeting on a large million dollar project. It is a large manufacturing plant and they have had some issues with covid break outs in the past but nothing recently...

Get the popcorn ready. My opinion is that high wing location is generally more efficient than low wing if the wing design itself is comparable for two reasons. Meaning same chord, taper, design etc. being totally identical (which they never are from airplane manufacturer to manufacturer). So...

I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe and the plastic dash has developed a crack. It is on top of the dash above the instrument cluster. It rattles and I would like to patch it or plastic weld it. Anyone have any personal experience and a suggestion? The plastic is black and it would be nice if it...

It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean. Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the pier, where it...

I purchased this book from Amazon for my IPad this weekend for $10. I recommend it. I have operated our IFD540 for several years and still learned a few things. It has info in an easier to understand format than the IFD manual and has several graphics for visual awareness. Anyone using the...

I have my airplane in a hangar and try to fly it at least monthly. So why do we need to worry about corrosion more in an airplane engine than farm tractors? I have owned farm tractors that are almost 50 years old with the original engines. Oil is a lower viscosity than airplane oil so should...

The RNAV RWY 22 approach plate into KSBM has the following statements on it: "217/30 CW 307/30 (NoPT) and 217/12 CW 307/12 not authorized when R-6903 active. 307/30 CW 350/30 not authorized when R-6903 active." I get that this is a restriction when the military area is hot. What specifically...

The requirement for high performance and complex endorsements were created after receiving my training. Obviously a safety pilot with a ppl license and current in a 172 can log time as the safety pilot when his partner is under the hood in a 172. But may the same pilot fly as the right seat...

Just found out that our email provider is filing for bankruptcy, Frontier. I am wondering if they might be purchased or could reorganize? Should we wait to change providers to see what the outcome might be or immediately make a switch? I dread changing email addresses. It seems like not all...

The bird is in the shop for it's annual and due for a new ELT battery, an older 121.5 unit. Aircraft Spruce has a ARTEX 345 kit with the ELT, tray, antenna and new switch for $549. This unit broadcasts on both frequencies and specs show GPS accuracy stated at 100 meters. Is this the best...

The G5 AI presentation when combined with a GFC500 has two options for displaying the glide slope & localizer guidance information - single cue with command bars or dual cue that more closely resembles the needles on a CDI. Based upon a recommendation from a former flight instructor that has...
