Flying to San Juan's from SoCal next month, first stop is Shelter Cove in Calif. looking for recommendations for Oregon stopover for a night or two? Thanks for any recommendations? Had some friends mention Redmond Oregon, but not sure why they were recommending it.

I recently noticed that the AuRACLE line of engine analyzers are no longer supported by the manufacturer (Ultra Flightline Systems, which bought out the original product line from Xerion). No manuals or parts lists are available on line and they indicate they are returning their certificates...

Any local pilots have an idea of what one should expect along I-93 if winds aloft are 17-20 knots at 12,000. Turbulence for sure, but that sped of winds aloft is manageable in the sierras.

I recently switched to a new shop for my 182L annual. I was shocked in the number of items they found on a plane that had been very clean on eight previous annuals. The required repairs most concerning are the wing strut and wing root cuffs (plastic covers over strut wing/fuselage joints,)...

Just sent mine in to Garmin. Anyone have recent experience with their turnaround time for this upgrade?

Thanks All, I was just referring to the written. I have the ASA book and as I am going through it, I am finding some of the concepts are not or only vaguely familiar, so looking for some text other that just a collection of the test questions with brief background info, more than what is in...

Any suggestions on written Commerical test preparation curriculum? I've started on the ASA Test Prep book, but it is primarily questions with little narrative. Seems like a companion narrative product would help, or is that simply the Far/AIM?

Anyone have an idea of the wait times for a T or small box hangar at Dallas Love Field in Prescott?

My battery was dead but my hanger neighbor had a quick-jump that allowed me to get engine started, and I went flying to let it charge. On short final, I keyed to talk to tower and all my avionics recycled, this continued on and off in the pattern so brought it down and landed. I tried to...

Right after annual. I had a different A&P check for loose wiring, but he indicated the connections are all good. Probably have to find an A&P familiar with this particular monitor. The manufacture's website is pretty poor as far as listing authorized service centers.

I have three of my CHTs gauges inop on my Auricle CRM2100 engine analyzer. Cyclinder 1, 3 and 5. Can't imagine all three probes went out at once. Any ideas where to being troubleshooting?

Just applied a coat to my 182. It was very easy to apply and wipe, I was wondering if it lasted very long. Anyone have a feel for how long this products lasts on a hangered aircraft?

I've had the plane since 2010. Not sure I want to call anyone on it.

I have a circa-2009 Garmin GDL 69A, along with a 530W, 430W and G600. I have never activated either a weather or XM radio subscription on the GDL-69A, but I do have weather/participation displayed on the both the 530 and 430, as well as the G600. I am assuming there is some basic level of...

i am approximately a year away from retiring. I will be in my late fifties with approximately 1,000 hours, prmarily in my C-182. I am considering getting my CFI and teaching in retirement, but am wondering if any flight schools would be interested in hiring an older instructor. I really don't...

Total fixed costs, including hanger, insurance, taxes, database subscriptions, hanger and typical annual run approximately $11K per year.

Yes, you may be right. Not familiar with the technical definition. That said, the only thing original is the hull. All electrical wiring, control cables, pullys, etc, were replaced, along with the entire interior, avionics and engine in 2011.

Fully restored in 2011, beautiful 182L. Pponk 285 HP engine, 530 hours since overhaul (TBO on Pponks are 2,000 hours), New Leather Interior and headliner, New upper and lower panels and glare shield. Garmin G600 FMS, G530W, G540W, XM Weather, Auricle Engine Analyzer, Active Avidyne Traffic...

Thank you John, very helpful. I have the Garmin GDL69A which provides XM weather, so probably just stick with upgrading the Avidyne and GTX330.

Has anyone done this, or can tell me why this is necessary? Since the system is an active traffic system that doesn't rely on ground stations, why would it not continue to work when all aircraft have the Extended Squitter transponders or ADBS-out? I will be upgrading my Garmin GTX 330 to get...
