So I'm working on a little project and curious to get some outside opinions on the benefits of Flight Training, in particular but not limited to Part 61 training. Benefits could be anything to do with adding pilots to the job pool, recreational economic impacts, how it helps airport...

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the jack screw on a articulating seat? Got one that needs to be a little more upright and trying to see if there is a way to adjustment the clock on the jackscrew. Looking at it, I can’t quite figure it out if there is a way or not. Service manual...

Looking at the TCDS and trying to figure out the difference between a DTM prop and a CTM prop in the model number. I know it’s unrelated to the seaplane prop. I figure climb or cruise? Just trying to buy a extra prop to get overhauled.

Curious to what everyone wears under their flight suits? I spend 6 hours in the plane a few times a week and don’t currently wear one but I think I’d like to. I know it will be warmer, just looking for comfort.

Which brand tubes do you love and why? I have exclusively used Aero Classic Leak Guards on my fleet but more recently it seems after a couple of months of use they develop small, almost undetectable pinholes that cause a tire to go down over night randomly. It’s not due to under inflation...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a HIMS AME in the Kentucky/Tennessee area? Have a student needing assistance with medications.

What does your flight school do with aircraft logs? Are they generally out for inspection anytime, do they have them locked up and then available for checkrides, etc?

I have a newly installed Aspen E5 and ACU to drive a previously installed System 40. Would I be correct in saying that the S-Tec box needs to be configured to be able to accept the commands for heading bug from the Aspen? In my mind, I was thinking maybe jumpers on the inside of the box? It...

Does anyone have a Molex part number for Digikey for the bendix/king style connectors? I have 1721601805 but not sure if that is a good one or not.

Does anyone know why my G5 doesn’t show a CDI? It basically just acts like a bearing pointer. I have a GTN750 and 650, I can select the source on the G5 backups from GPS1 or GPS2 and then also select an additional bearing pointer to either VLOC1 or VLOC2. My concern is, if for example I...

Has anyone taken the 3 knowledge tests recently? I believe I am going to try and tackle mine soon, but I was curious as to the best study material out there for the test. Kings, etc, etc? There doesn’t seem to be as much good info out there as there is for the pilot exams.

Does anyone else with an aviation business constantly get barraged with people asking you to lease back their airplanes? All I want to do is just shake them and say no for the 100th time. It’s always some high dollar airplane too. SR22, Glass 182, Diamond, etc. I own my own aircraft...

Is anyone an expert in reference to the GTN750/G500 Terrain system? Maybe a secret system setup menu that allows you to customize the altitudes at which you get alerted for terrain and obstacles hazard. I routinely have to fly low for work, and I really like having terrain enabled, mostly for...

I’ve got a new, carbed O-360 with about 50 hours on it. It’s got to where it doesn’t want to start vary easily, cold or hot. I’ve got a hot battery and fresh starter. Im starting to think I might have an ignition key issue? It seems like many times as soon as you let off the starter switch...

A fairly pointless debate but how would you record/notate a Dual VOR check in the Check Log? Had a person write down VOR 1 330 VOR 2 333 3* A real particular fella then said well it should have +/-, I said why does it need those symbols? It’s...

Surprised to not see a post about this! [emoji854] Anyone taking any guesses as to when the madness stops on the price increases and where it levels off at? Starting to see prices towards $9 and higher at the smaller airports getting new loads.

I’ve got a M Model with the 1 way rotary gear system that is mounted in the fuselage with the bolt that is in the door. I have a issue where in the neutral door handle position, the bolt does not extend far enough and only barely catches the gear in the door post which causes the door to often...

I figure I’ll be my own guinea pig, but just curious if anyone else has extended their oil change interval on high usage engines. I’m running a 0-320 around 100 hours every 5 weeks, so roughly 20 hours a week. Sometimes I will catch oil changes at 45 hours, and others at 60 hours just...

Looking at dumping the post lights in a 172 and using the overhead dome in conjunction with either NuLights, Fiberlights, or a under glare shield led strip. Anyone prefer one brand/setup over the other?

Looking for opinions. Which cylinders do you prefer and why? I currently have a factory Lycoming engine that’s well beyond TBO on original cylinders and still running well, but I’m about to pull the trigger on a overhauled or reman engine to refresh it with. I have Millennium cylinders on...
