    Complex/High Performance aircraft questions

    When I was flying a jump plane 182 many years ago, I remember at 500 feet reducing rpm by 100. But, throttle stayed wide open till altitude was reached usually 7500 feet.

    How big of a hit is my wallet about to take?

    Do you still have a vacuum pump? If you do never mind, but if it's been removed I believe a plate has to be installed or you will have a loss of pressure.

    How big of a hit is my wallet about to take?

    You asked me earlier, but I had to ask my son, because I haven't flown it in a year or two. He said the oil pressure would run about halfway between the bottom of the green and the white line. That was at cruise power in Florida. It would be a half a needle below the min line after a couple...

    How big of a hit is my wallet about to take?

    What oil are you running? If it's still a mechanical oil pressure gauge, it's possible for air to get in that line and then you'll read lower than actual pressure. Have the cylinders been off. At 700 hours there is a good chance you may have a piston pin stuck. That will cause non magnetic...

    Wheel falls off

    Ultimately the captain makes the final decision, but. The company maintenance, and flight operations, dispatchers, and the other crew members on board have a great deal of influence on the decision.
