    Density Altitude hit 9k ft

    Supposed to do Fairbanks Tanana Kotz but i went back to bed after I saw the weather. Nearly -60 in Tanana, with the negative density altitude to match. Maybe someone can flap their wings and see what happens. Kotz is pretty warm, -20 today. Someone else can go blow their struts and tires and...

    Density Altitude hit 9k ft

    Density Altitude hit -9k feet here today. Not that I’ll be trying out the plane, my personal min is -40, but thought it was interesting.

    What type of equipment do I tell atc that I have?

    I was asked on flight following number of souls onboard and fuel remaining one time on flight following, was never asked that before but Barrow to Anchorage is a lot of dropouts of radar so there was an hour or two I was out of radar and comms.

    Top Gun 3

    The original is fine, I hope they just leave it alone. The military must be trying to boost their drone pilot operator recruitment.

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    Town I live in is wet, so not a big of a deal like other places, but no, mostly freight or freeze thats too expensive to ship general freight, relatively.

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    They se they seem a bit small for what I need, pretty planes though.

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    They still rumble around, although I heard the feds have been giving them a harder time with them, so they might not be around much longer. He has quite a collection out there, their new BAE-146's look out of place sitting next to the huge pile of dc-6's.

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    Two women like that would cost me more in the long run then any airplane would.

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    I use a couple of cherokee six's, the useful on one is 1700, other one is only 1600 without seats, so realistically they only take 1k lbs or so with fuel and myself, I only fly my supplies in, no pax, I don't need pressurization. I would love a turbine twin, but the cost for HSI/OH on two...

    Looking for a decent twin, which models to look for?

    I typically do shorter flights, longest is usually around 400nm. I want something that can haul a decent load and can handle icing. I really want to justify the cost of a turbine single, but would rather not finance something at this time. A pa-31 seems to check all the boxes, luckily my shop...

    Oil temp how low is too low

    Did one strip of tape and it came up a little. Will try more. These pa-32s run cooler then my other planes in the winter.

    Oil temp how low is too low

    I found a set for 301 pa-32's but none around that I saw for the PA-32 cherokee I have, will just stick to tape until I find something correct for it. Should I shoot for midrange on the gauge? The oil temp struggles to stay above 120 when its warm around 0f, but is lucky to get above 100* when...

    I use aluminum foil tape it doesn’t seem to break, my oil temps are just above green in cruise, 90-100

    Oil temp how low is too low

    Oil temp is running low in cruise in winter, taped cooler on my bonanza and 182 to get them into the green in cruise but the pa-32 is cowled a little better, what oil temp should I try for, 140-180?

    Autopilot use prior to FAF?

    Essentially this, with the G5 driving it, makes it really easy to input what I was already bugging once inbound.

    Autopilot use prior to FAF?

    That’s how I see it, but when ATC says cleared for the approach, wouldn’t any published sections be considered to be on an approach.

    Autopilot use prior to FAF?

    I asked in Avionics, but maybe better suited to this section; I know the Trutrak in certified installations has a 700’ agl limit and coupled approach limitation, can it be used legally prior the final approach fix using heading and altitude bugs, specifically during IPC or Checkride? The manual...
