I wrote to the FAA in an attempt to clarify whether a digital clock must display a clock at all times in order to qualify as a clock for the purpose of meeting IFR equipment requirements. I made the argument that a digital clock should NOT have to display a clock at all times and I urged the FAA...

4/15/2024 update: Problem solved. See https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/garmin-g5-yellow-heading-warranty-saga-retitled.146190/page-3#post-3509076 Original post below… — What a nightmare. My avionics shop installed dual Garmin G5’s for me in early October 2023. Ever since the...

I’m looking for a pre-buy mechanic for a Cherokee 180 at KLWM. Any mobile A&P’s nearby? Any other suggestions? And yes, I already reached out to Lawrence Airmotive and Falcon Air.

I made this video comparing three exterior camera placement locations (under the tail, over the tail, and under the wing) with my Piper Cherokee. I used the “MyPilotPro Swivel Airplane Mount” and a GoPro Hero 10 go take this footage: Let’s hear your favorite mounting locations! In my opinion...

This morning my avionics stack (radios, GPS, transponder) would not come on during start up (master, then engine startup, then avionics switch). These items were all connected to the avionics switch and did not power on. Everything else was working fine, such as the beacon, Garmin G5 attitude...

Any pilots in the Atlanta area who want to do some mutual aerial photos? I’ve got a Cherokee 140 based at Cartersville (KVPC) that I’d love to get photographed from the air. If you shoot mine, I’ll shoot yours! :D

For those that have the Garmin GDL 50, how does it work for you? Reliable? I've heard some people prefer it over other ADS-B in products because it uses Bluetooth (while Sentry, Stratus, and Stratux use Wifi and some have had issues with the Wifi signal disconnecting in flight). I have a...

Hello folks. My avionics shop is installing a new Garmin G5 in my Cherokee 140 and slightly rearranging my panel at the same time. I have two choices on how to set this up. Please chime in with which you think is better, option A or B: https://imgur.com/a/zrmuS1u Before you ask, we are dealing...

I’m the buyer 1965 Piper Cherokee 140 with the 160hp conversion. I don’t know if the seller has been playing hide-the-ball or if I’m just bad at this (probably both) but after getting a mechanic to do a pre-buy and seeing no major issues, I finally got the seller to send me the logbook page for...

Hello. I’m looking for mechanics’ opinions on this firewall repair on a Piper Cherokee. There is a logbook entry but no 337 was filed. I’m the buyer and I’m under contract but I can still back out if I’m unsatisfied. https://imgur.com/a/EEjoRFz

So I’m trying to move forward with buying the Piper Cherokee in this thread: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/rough-cessna-172-vs-clean-piper-cherokee.137107/ I’m now working on lining up the pre-buy inspection and test flight. The seller said it must be at the aircraft’s home...

Hello folks. I'm under contract for two planes and I have the contractual flexibility to back out on one or both of them if I wish. Both are of 1965 vintage: A C-172F and a PA-28-140 with the 160 hp conversion. I'd like your opinion on what is the better buy. Cessna 172F Photo album...

Hello again. The previous airplane I was in discussions over (a Piper Cherokee) fell through but I am now under contract for a C172F. Engine is mid-time though hasn’t been flown much recently. Apparently the seller bought the plane for flight training as a student pilot but got too busy for...

Hey guys. I’m about to buy a Piper Cherokee. I plan on getting my own pre-buy inspection but in the meantime, the seller shared the pre-buy findings from another buyer who backed out of the deal. The biggest “show stopper” for the prior buyer was the firewall. Apparently there was some exhaust...

I recently reached an agreement to purchase a Piper Cherokee for $45,000 cash and was filling in the contract details to send to the seller. It turns out the seller wasn’t the legal owner but was the seller’s agent. Ok, no problem yet. I say we’ll use Aerospace Reports to handle escrow and he...
