I have a Cherokee six, the alt was checked two times, 45 amps good. I did not know how to check the voltage regulator, looked over the battery wires, all seemed tight I even cleaned some to be sure.

I do value the vast experience of the pilots and Maintenace professionals who are very helpful with many of us who need advice on aircraft problems. I recently had my prop off for Maintenace, I put it back on after having a new alt belt, and just to be sure had my alt rebuilt. For some reason...

Thank you now I know

Yes another interesting landing in the Bahamas. Bahamas flying is not for the weak of heart, three towers for 625 airports, the rest are all using the same radio frequency, sounds like the CB traffic on the interstate. I lifted off with a weather report from Florida-Miami Center, a wind...

I was driving a Cherokee Six, front hatch opened, at a higher altitude I think I could have recovered, but the hatch door would have ripped off before long I suppose. When the door flew open, it caused a really loud noise or it was my pucker factor reached the sound barrier.

I have had several interesting landing in the BAHAMAS over the years, after about 90 trips or so. Recently I was making a landing in North Eleuthera and just as all seemed to be going well, my front cargo door flew open. If this has ever happened to you, you must have survived, because many...
