FRAUD ALERT. Someone has hacked my account. I have no items for sale. I have been victimized by this sort of scam in other venues, so please be careful. I guarantee that if you send money in response to any of the ads placed in "my" name, you will get nothing from me other than good wishes...

The last couple flights, my EGTs soar when I pull the throttle back while landing. The EGTs on the JPI rise sharply, and all the columns turn yellow. The rise is equal among all 6 cylinders (O470R). Engine runs fine, but I am concerned that this appears to be an aberration. If I give it a...

https://www.starlink.com/aviation Courtesy of Elon. The prices are nuts now, as are all the other internet options. But it shouldn't be any more expensive to provide the service in the air than on the ground. I suspect prices will drop.

I can get to the Backlight menu for my 530W. When I go to change it, the menu offers two choices, Manual or Auto. If I select Manual, I can adjust the backlight the way I want it. It will stay that way until I turn the unit off. When I turn it back on, the backlight setting is where it was...

Is it practical to add another landing/taxi light combination on the starboard wing of a Cessna 182E? I added very bright LED lights in both positions on the port side. They're good, but making a right hand turn on a dark taxiway at night leaves something to be desired. I did it on my...

I have a question about flying in the outer ring of a TFR. The NOTAM says that if you are on an IFR or VFR flight plan, and squawking and talking, you're good to go. I am specifically thinking about a flight from Ocean City Municipal, KOXB, to the Baltimore area. I know how to do it going east...

I have a 430W and a 530W. They have different brightnesses. I would like to dim one, or brighten the other. I went into the set up, and there's a screen that seems to show what the photocell is seeing. I didn't see any way to adjust the screen brightness. Is there a way to do this?

I am having trouble finding navigation data cards for the above unit. I can find the terrain database cards. Can I take a new terrain database card and over write it with navigation data, essentially converting it a terrain database card into a navigation database card?

Love him or hate him, I think he has served a good purpose here. This is about Ms. Infanger. I think we all assumed she just messed up. Looks like she may have done nothing wrong. The approach may have been incorrectly designed or not maintained properly. I think this work is brilliant. It...

I recently decided to upgrade my sim game. I bought MS 2020, but never installed it. I used X-Plane11 in the past, and gave that a second go. I replaced my aging laptop with a new Asus recommended for gaming. That allowed me to see texture and scenery. That's not too important, since I zoom...

I would like to add underwing lights to my 182E. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions?

Could anyone give me an idea where I could find a hangar for a 182 in the Ocala, FL area, and what I could expect to pay?

I flew with a friend today in his new P Ponk 182. The oil temp never got above 111* in an hour plus of flying, according to his JPI 830. My 182 O 470 R never moved the needle more than a needle width off of cold on the standard gauge. I thought the gauge was broken, but now I suspect it was...

I would like to get my rocker box covers chromed. I had others "chromed" with powder coating, and it isn't the same. Any suggestions for where to have them done? It would be six.

I have a 182E O470R. It has the blunt spinner. I would like to replace the spinner with a more modern conical spinner. I tried Knots-2U and Pilotshop.com. There are spinners for every other model besides the E. Does anyone know where I could get a conical spinner for the E?

I have a 182E with aftermarket yokes. They look like the Piper yokes, and are cast aluminum. The yokes have a horse's head in the center, and it looks like the profile of a knight chess piece. I've tried to find out what make they are so I can covers made for them. They are nice, but my...

Has anyone put an extended baggage compartment in a 182? I am looking at a Selkirk model for my 182E.

Cessna 182 with O470. There is an oil breather tube at the top front of the engine. It is a capped tube about 1 1/4" diameter. There is another tube at 90* about 3/4" diameter intersecting the main breather tube. It is to this 3/4" tube that rubber tubing is routed to the air/oil separator...
