This accident was previously discussed in these two threads, but only with speculation as there was never a follow-up after the final report came out: https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/172-down-in-va-1-dead-1-survived.76573/...

Does anyone have enough experience with the Century 2000 to answer the following: If the autopilot is on and engaged in NAV mode, then it is disconnected (either via the off button or the disconnect switch on the yoke), does the NAV stay illuminated or does it go back to HDG? edit: Was able to...

It's been discussed at length here that most equipment (e.g., comm radios, etc.) for aircraft used in Part 91 don't really need to be TSO'd. However I haven't had any luck finding someone willing to install and sign off on such equipment. Anyone else?

Great job AOPA, what a fantastic benefit—your members ought to be very pleased that you made this "new" tool "available" to them. Actually they're not "giving" members anything so much as taking it away from everyone else. Since it used to be free for, like, everyone...

Need a few multiengine hours. I wanted to see if any multi owners could use some practice with a safety pilot (I'll help pay for fuel) OR if anyone with access to an airplane wants to split time that needs it. I'm a CP ASEL/AMEL, CFI/CFII but no MEI. The Richmond, Charlottesville, Hampton...

Attempting to add a vintage glideslope receiver to my vintage avionics package. Can these wires just be spliced back together and is there a particular technique that has to be followed?

If one cylinder is replaced in 182, what is recommended for break-in? Should break-in oil (i.e. straight mineral) be used or is it okay to use the ashless dispersant that is normally used (W100 in this case)? Thanks

I have a Cessna 150 that's minimally equipped. The radio rack is original from 1975 except that the sole NAV/COMM has been replaced by an MX300. It also has an ADF, and, strangely, marker beacons but no glideslope. Also has a 4-pound paperweight aka LORAN. I would like to add enough equipment...

I'm trying to add some capability to a C150, but it doesn't make sense to spend $10k+ on avionics and installation labor in an airplane that's only worth a little more than that. So I'm looking for a good deal on any of the following or similar avionics, either removed in working condition or at...

A recent AOPA ASF video highlighted the following accident: https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20160118X02647&key=1 A Cessna 152 can fly a lot longer than 3.1 hours. The NTSB did not read the POH correctly. See attached image. The 3.1 hours includes an allowance for...

http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1702/05160L10.PDF Why does this plate for a localizer-only approach have a lightning bolt symbol at the FAF when there is no glideslope?

I'm finding a lot of conflicting advice when it comes to proper oil grades. The Cessna 150 POH specifies SAE40 (e.g. Aeroshell W80) with ambient temperatures above 40°F. Yet, many owners I've talked to are using Aeroshell W100 which is SAE50. Further confusion comes from the fact that the...

This is kinda of a famous cat, so I want $1,000,000. This cat might or might not be for sale.

I had to get one in order to fly a 182. It was no harder to fly than a Cutlass or Arrow and was the most pointless waste of money ever. They ought to waive it for commercial pilots.
