Not looking for shortcuts at all....if I need to replace I have no choice, I am just trying to get an second opinion of what could be the issue here....Do I really have a problem or was the compressions checked erroneously by the A&P, someone told to check if he has his system properly...

Hello, So recently I had a A&P check my engine compressions and was sad to find that they were low 45-60-60-70-75-68. He repeated the procedure in front of me and it showed as he noted. But the weird thing was that a/c just had an anual done 2 months ago and there were all...

any info on these shops? I am looking at something close to North Dakota

Howdy fellas just wondering who’s done it and what is the cost involved.....i know about the import CofR,CofA, de-Registratrion and re-register in US. Is it mandatory to have an anual inspection even if one has been done recently in Canada? If someone has done it will appreciate a ball park $$...

yes i saw this link but when reading about the procedures, it talks about a 182 and some refer to 180 to 185 model...is this the same for a C172E model?

Not really I just bought the airplane and this was noted on prebuy by another mechanic I made a list of some things that need to be done. Yes I’ve flown back home and honestly can’t tell a difference since I don’t fly small airplanes for a living (this is my first aircraft)

Hi Dan Thnx a tone for your valuable input on this issue, just to clarify he has not gone deep into it as he is very busy with another airplane he is working on. He just asked me to bring the aircraft manual as you suggested because he needs follow this procedure step by step. The 20lbs...

my mechanic checked my ailerons tension and told me that one is about 20lbs loose than the others. I don’t have the airplane Mx manual, and he doesn’t have one to check the correct tension....does anyone know where can I get this info (link or manual I can buy) so my guy will have the accurate...

I am getting 2 G5’s for attitude/heading and SL 40. For primary Nav/GPS I want the 430 linked to my G5 but just never heard that with these options I need to have wass...I am also doing the stratus ADS-B....trying to crunch my budget and a 430W is another 2k....my head is spinning.

hi guys Not sure how true this is but 2 avionics guys are telling me that If I want a 430 in my 172, I must have the 430W because the regular 430 does not have an STC for a 172, I will need an FAA inspector to do the blessing. Instead if I get the 430W is just installation and sign off by the...

Again thank you all for your inputs on this....huckster79, she is flown regularly I just don’t know how often. Hopefully my mechanic doesn’t find anything that will make me walk away from her like bad corrosion etc...does anyone know what is the normal oil temperature at low cruise altitude...

Thank you all for the replies.....sorry about the missing info....somehow I thought I wrote all compressions....the other 2 are 5 72/80 6 74/80 Flew it just recently and she did great. started right up and engine sounded and felt very smooth. Oil looked clean and it showed no sign of leaks...
