Separate names with a comma.
How do airliners and their contrails show up against the ground, so tiny that you have to zoom in a whole bunch to get the details, if they aren't...
That implies a failing impulse mag. There have been some defective Slicks delivered recently. Bad points.
Plenty of equipment lists never get amended when stuff is changed or added or subtracted.
Yup. Training and knowledge are better than electronic or mechanical doodads. One needs to check the METARs before flying. Look at the temperature...
Those two filters won't protect the pump from stuff out of the gyros. The main filter cleans the air from the cabin being drawn into the gyros....
I don't suppose the airplane has an equipment list as part of the W&B paperwork?
That's what StewartB suggested. If they're reversed, the impulse mag is dead during cranking, and the non-impulse mag turns too slowly to do...
The big strap around the fuselage is at the trailing edge of the wing, so maybe 30 inches aft of the center of pressure. It might even be closer:...

Yes, but there are far more ways to do it wrong than to do it right, and no round-out or flare until two feet off the runway is one of the wrong ways.
Where did anyone argue with you over your FAR 91.205 citation? There was nothing wrong with that. Your mistake was in implying that mechanics had...
Didn't I already say that?

In the '63-'68 100 series manual, it's on page 27 of Chapter 16: [ATTACH] In the 1962 and prior 100 series manual, it's on page 19 of Chapter...
Look at that. Lots of them. In that case, the optical tach should read 3000 RPM on its two-blade setting.
I knew you'd argue that, so I posted an example in post #36. That was from the '69-'76 172 manual. The other Cessna manuals say exactly the same...
Got a fluorescent light? See what the tach says when you get it up close to the light. Set it to two-blade and it should say 3600. Unless you're...
Last place I worked we had one. They're good but they're $250. Before that I used a model airplane optical tach that cost maybe $40 and was just...
Then the airplane will be from that era as well. Pretty tough to find stuff like that. In Canada we have the Owner-Maintenance category that...
