I will clarify: flying R172K with 210HP IO-360 and CSP. Service ceiling 17,000. Cruise 130kts. Not sure why this matters since I am trying to stay low and comfortable at the same time. Speed isn't really that important. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Jim, can you give me more details on this route? I need to make relatively frequent stops and wonder if it will be possible. Early in the morning is not a problem but that also means that I have from maybe 5:00am until 11:00am. With stops that may be limiting me to no more than 4.5 hours of...

I have done this once before. At that time I followed I-40 from Amarillo, then Albuquerque, Gallup, Winslow, Flagstaff, Phoenix and San Diego. But this was a few years ago and I clearly remember strong turbulence leaving ABQ around 2:00pm. I also remember flying at 10,500 most of the time along...

Greetings, Can someone recommend low VFR route from Chicago to San Diego. I will be flying 172XP with 2 ppl. My wife is 6 months pregnant, so trying to avoid getting over 8500 for a long periods of time. Also, would like to keep each leg under 2 hours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Yes, but we still need to fly back. At some point it has to be refilled. My local FBO also does not offer oxygen so I bought the system prefilled. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I have 24 cubit feet aluminum bottle. This will be my first time ever using it so I am not really sure what to expect.

Hi, I plan on flying my172XP from Chicago to Prescott, AZ and then on to San Diego. My wife is going to be 6 months pregnant by then, so I would like her to have oxygen when we are above 8,000ft. I bought a 4-place portable oxygen system from Sporty's but somewhat puzzled as to where and how...

I am currently at Oshkosh with a camper trailer and a minivan. Would there be anyone willing to save me the trouble of having to drive back to Chicago and help me and a co-pilot bring my plane from Lake in the Hills (3CK) by giving me a ride there in your airplane? Our share of expenses covered...

I am not sure which encoder I have right now. I know it does not have serial output.

I have an ARC RT-359A transponder with the original analog altitude encoder. I recently purchased a GPSS unit to use with its Navomatic 300A autopilot. The unit has the capability of issuing alerts when reaching certain altitude but without encoder that function is not available. I have...

I have dual child bench seat that came with my 1977 Cessna R172K. They are removable and there are brackets and seat belts for them. They effectively create a 3rd row of seats in the baggage compartment. I've used them once with a single 3 year old passenger. Seem to work fine for when you need...

Hello, Is it possible to legally install a used autopilot in a certified aircraft ?

Thanks for replies everyone. Someone locally suggested that I may simply have a sticking heading bug which may be disengaging the plate from the gyro. I think I will test this theory on my next flight. Seems like the least expensive option. On a separate note, did anyone have any experience...

Hello, I fly a 1977 Cessna R172K with the G502-A vacuum driven DG. This DG has a weird tendency to presses excessively while my vacuum gauge is still in a green arc. Sometimes it gets so bad - I have to adjust it every 5 minutes. Other times it may work as it should. I am puzzled. The DG was...

I did some research today and here is what I found out: 1. Navomatic 300A needs to use heading bug even when in NAV mode. Apparently there is wind correction logic in its analog brain which relies on it. Since I wasn't using it right, I will have to test fly it again and see if it works. 2...

Yes, this is exactly what I am saying. All it does is track heading bug. Maybe the NAV part of autopilot is not functioning somehow but there are not many shops that can check to see if it is functioning correctly.

I just checked and that DAC GDC-31 is not STCed to work with that autopilot. Getting a field approval is nearly impossible for the autopilots, no one wants to sign off on those according to my Avionics guy. :(
