    Engine out at KLZU

    Brian, That's what they FAA is leaning towards now. There's no evidence in the log book that it was ever remove, it may or might not have been, just never logged. Could have been a number of sources that didn't torque it back down. No one also knows when the nuts first starting coming lose...

    Passed checkride last Tuesday. Today was the first time I had an opportunity to fly some IMC. IMC encountered around 12:30 seconds. Was a nice flight to get my (solo) feet wet.

    What is the decode for 274/00/D82/70/175. I'm guessing 274 is R-274 and D82 is 82SM.
