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.

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 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?

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...

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, or even under GNSS?

I have a PA12, just sold it looking for something comparable I can build as a first time builder. I have other planes but they’re all certified. My IA is good to work with so I normally do the work myself on them with his supervision and signoff, we don’t keep track but it’s probably a few...

I cant decide between an aspen and a set of G5’s, I want to get rid of the vacuum but also want a backup EFIS. Reading the STC the G5 can only be installed as a primary, not as a backup. I prefer the Aspen’s larger screen. With the PFD pro, not the max can I install a AV30 as a backup...

I bought a pa32 with a hershey wing, what are good approach speeds to aim for at IAF/FAF etc? Would like to aim for something consistent and stable and not too far behind this bricks power curve.

I have a Surefly on my 14 volt io520, it is turning off and on momentarily in flight at random. Anyone have this issue? The Surefly only has 400 hours. I ran it on that mag, and it is acting as if I was turning the key switch off and back on, shutting the engine down for up to a second at a...

Just curious. My mechanic recorded my plane getting hit by a mysterious dust storm today just wondering how much it benefitted it. Dust is the same as mud right?

I noticed at cruising altitude above 8k feet or so on my io520 it would randomly shudder for a split second, like a jug was dropping out, or it ate a slug of water. It has a surefly mag so I thought it sounded like the symptoms they described when it resets. Happened again while running just...

Looking for a good course to go through to do oral checkride prep. Did the written a few months ago and I think I remember about half of it :)

Will a kni-520 work with a gps 175? it’s not listed for it specifically, but if I recall right it wasn’t listed for the 430 it’s currently paired with, but added as compatible in a supplement later?

I bought a plane last summer, sent a registration application in September, just heard back from the faa that the seller needed to cross out his title on the bill of sale, write in the correct title and resend…he had gotten a promotion to CEO from CFO. I asked if it would be processed once...

Anyone have issues with door stewards in winter? Went to plug in the cabin heater and the door steward didn’t do anything, the door just came open with no resistance. Only been a year or so since it was installed they haven’t responded yet, wondering if this is common. Lots of oil leaked out...

Using a 420 waas gps, will a ki-206 work without a converter? Will any ki-206 work or was gps function only added on later gauges? I assume I wouldn’t need annunciation since this gps doesn’t have a second nav?

Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a CFII who may be convinced to travel next year. I am working on my instrument, hope to be done by then, but if I am not would be great to have someone to fly with for a week or so to get motivated to finish, and to finish my commercial asel. No local...

I have Garmin GDL50 I bought last fall. The usb charging port broke and came out with the cable when my IA unplugged it to get under the panel last month. I previously had a Stratus 2 that after a year or so of use the port loosened and would sometimes not charge. Bought it used so decided to...

Buddy has a garmin 430 that the squelch button doesnt have a tactile response, its stuck open. Garmin wants 2k to fix. Anyone else can do this repair?
