    Fluid (unburnt oil maybe) dripping from the hull

    You may have been on the right track with your dipstick comment. If it is loose or the gasket has gone bed, air flows through the cowling and into the dipstick which can pressurize the crank case. From there, instead of seeing oil on the top of the engine, which you say you did not, you'll see...

    For Sale Garmin 430W (28V)

    I'm selling my recently removed Garmin 430W. It works well with no known problems and I am including the memory cards for data and terrain, a new antenna, a tray, and connectors. If you have a 14v system you can get a voltage adapter as needed. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Act now and I'll throw in...

    Aircraft door seal

    Any suggestions for a door seal replacement for a Cessna 310? Aircraft Spruce sells an interesting looking product, avtek, but I haven't seen any reviews or user comments. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?

    Nova Scotia

    We landed at Charlottetown and ended up leaving the plane due to wx and turning the rest intonabferry/car trip. The northern end of Nova Scotia was beautiful in the fall. Fwiw, just got the nav Canada bill for two days of flying. They told me I was wrong in thinking it was a daily rate, the...

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    Similar here. I have a general aviation background but for the most part I haven't flown anything that didn't come out of a Boeing factory for the last 30 years. I feel like rip van Winkle as I re-enter the GAosphere. Garmin, who's that and where's my Narco navcom at? While my son loves it, I...

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    He's doing great. Just left this morning for a new job as an FO on a Shorts 360. He's on his way and we couldn't be prouder!

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    My son Ethan used to be a line guy with Journey's and he says he knows you. Gave you a big thumbs up! Such a small world.

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    It looks like you still have your old artificial horizon in there which from my understanding is why your old analog auto pilot still works. The new ones you mentioned are digital so they are native and would work well when you're ready

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    I'm still working on things. I lean towards the Avidyne but my installer made me a pretty good quote for the Garmin. Bryan Kahl put me in touch with a sales rep that said he'd get back to me after the holiday and I'd like to hear his pitch. Also, it looks like they are starting another trade in...

    Garmin GNS 750 vs Avidyne IFD 540

    Any opinions here? I like the avidyne but my shop, which is a dealer for both, warns me against it. They say that they have yet to install one, which may be a function of the ability to buy direct and do an easy install, and concerns about the company's sustainability in the future. I have a...

    Aspen 1000Pro MAX vs G5

    Can you explain when you need and don’t need this adapter? C310R with a 400B autopilot, considering an aspen and would be keeping vacuum as backup

    IFR in Canada

    I thought I had seen that you could just pay for a single inspection on the spot, same price as the sticker. I found some language that said proof of purchase was as good as the sticker and it was. I showed him my email receipt and that was that. Eapas was funny. I didn't get a return email...

    i assume we are charged a fee for flying IFR in Canada. Does anyone have a source for the fee amounts and how they are collected?
