What is the difference on certified aircraft? I always assumed that factory re manufacture on a Cessna meant it went back to Cessna and that a major overhaul was done at a cert. engine shop. Just had a guy ask me if my Lycon preformed overhaul was a factory re-man.

As you guys know 6399A went for a short unmanned flight in Flagstaff just before Gastons. Total damages were just over $12,000.00. I just got my new insurance quote. I had expected it to go up a little, as a claim is a claim is a claim, but the cost didn't go up a LITTLE. :no: It went...

Bummer............. seems like it's one a year lately. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0610crash0610.html

Hey guys.............. I have a customer in my store right now that is from CA and wants to know if she buys sterilized hemp seed for her bird if she's going to get in trouble when she tries to get on the airplane to go home. Any ideas? BTW .... the bag does not indicate that the seed is sterile.

What's the scoop with HSIs. How often should they be bench checked and what are the costs involved. I know the cost will vary depending on whether repairs are needed, but in general what do HSI bench checks run? A friend bought a plane with one that hasn't been touched in like 8 years...

Well……………… it started out a beautiful 4 day weekend of flying. My A&P/AI/friend (for the purpose of this post I’ll call him Kevin, and because that’s his name) and I left DVT in my 182 Thursday at 5 am for a quick flight to Flagstaff to pick up a Turbo Commander to fly to Houston International...

Here’s my problem……. I have a dear friend whose wife is one of my very best friends. For the purpose of this post we will call him Sam. Sam’s been a PP for about a year and a half, and has approx. 125 hours. He’s NOT one of us. By that I mean, he got his PP ASEL and he’s ALL DONE. He’s not...

While there's a possibility I'm slightly technologically challenged........... I'm having a hard time playing pilotcasts. I did the iTunes subscription hoping that would spare me having to post for help. It connects and acts like it getting it but when I click play I get nothing. Help...

I did it............. I passed my check-ride yesterday. :goofy: :goofy: :goofy: While I would love nothing more than to share the details right now, the write up will have to wait a day or so. I've been ditching work for the last week and my staff is starting to think I've quit. But...

I did a quick search before I posted this, thinking it may have been on here before but got nothing. Though there might be some that would enjoy. http://jet-man.com/playervideo.swf?video=jetman2007.flv

Finally bit the bullet and took my PPL written today. Passed it, but I did miss one of the ADF questions. Never really got the ADF thing. :dunno: ........... but I'll take a 98% any day. :yes:

Well, I've posted a few times to this board now, and realized that I never officially said "Hello" or introduced myself. Please forgive me as I've never been much of a message board girl in the past. I'd read them, extract what I deemed useful information, and move on. But you folks are just...

I need a little help. My CFI and I are planning a XC on Tuesday. The route is DVT to Blithe to Parker and back to DVT. My CFI wants to first 2 legs to be pilotage only. He wants a couple of visual checkpoints selected for ground speed calculation. Now the Blithe to Parker leg is pretty...
