    Buying an airplane out of annual?

    The local FSDO’s are changing there policy. They don’t issue ferry permits here anymore, you have to hire a DAR to come out inspect the airplane and issue a ferry permit. You could have your mechanic come out and look at it, he should get a good idea if it’s worth digging into and doing the...

    And that why we preflight, folks

    Sumped my cub one day and I smelt it before I dumped it out. Didn’t smell right, so I did it again. All water. Pulled the quick drain for a few seconds and poured it into a bucket. Then got this out of it before I got fuel. Sump froze. Pushed it back in the hangar and waited for another day...

    Ferry Permit

    Fsdo is no longer issuing them. You have to hire a DAR. And they have to come look at the airplane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can an IA perform a 100-hour inspection?

    You sign off the annual as a whole, the engine airframe and prop. You can write 100 hr on the engine and prop for the records. I’ve seen it done both ways. Annual on engine and prop or 100 hr. Annual on the airframe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Annual on plane missing logbooks

    Maybe your local gas but mine had a stroke with total time unknown. Fellow IA in Ohio had the same problem, they won’t issue an airworthiness because there was no way to verify total time. On a j3. Ridiculous I know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NORDO - Wrong runway

    That’s why we fly patterns and look out the windows. I was shooting landings in a stearman with no radio and a guy came straight in and yelled at me while I was fueling. If he flew a pattern and looked out the windshield he would have seen a big yellow biplane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do FSDO's do anymore?

    First Annual - problem with IA brewing...

    I think your best bet would be to tell them to sign off the annual with their discrepancies, pay the bill and find another shop and chalk it up to a bad experience. I’ve had an airplane come into my shop for an annual with blatant airworthiness problems and the FSDO wanted nothing to do with it...

    First Annual - problem with IA brewing...

    So is it getting annualed at the local shop that you were going to have the radio install done, but they were priced high? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A&P/IA shortage

    When someone brings a j3 project and you tell them it’s going to be 70k to restore they have a stroke. And that’s charging 50/hr. I have my own shop and I’m heading to the airlines to be a pilot. Far less ********. I’ve been sued and f’d over by “friends” as an owner of my own tube and fabric...

    Garmin Area 500 users help me out

    I have a 500 in an airgizmos mount in my super cub, 396 had an external antenna, 500 does not. I have not had any problems with it. Touch screen works good with it hard mounted. I really like it.
