    New Normal Mag Drop?

    I follow the POH, rpm to 2300, check the mags.

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    It should be reminded that the unusually high mag drop is across both mags.

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    Actually, I'm reporting the SYMPTOM, not the cause. I discovered why the A&P couldn't recreate my mag drop: he was running it up only to 1800 RPM. POH says 2300. A clogged injector screen was cleaned during the annual. Mag drops are now right at 150 rpm which is within tolerance, but just barely.

    Hell yeah, it's still an issue. It seems that some boxes have an issue, some don't. I have a running theory that changing the volume messes up the com settings. Not sure tho.

    It's Florida, so 50' elevation. OAT around 85-90 degrees Humidity: high

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    Minor update: The mechanic performed the runup and could not recreate the mag drop. WTH? I asked if he was leaned out when doing the run up: no. So, I made plans with him for us both to do the run up. So we'll see how that goes. A thought occurred to me the other day, and I'd like to get the...

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    I am not familiar with what an e-gap is. Is it something that is adjusted? Expensive to diagnose/fix?

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    Update/No Update: The aircraft is now in for its annual. I'll be sure to mention it to the mech. And, by the by, I am using a DIFFERENT AP than the one who confirmed the timing and installed the new spark plugs. We'll see how a new set of eyes helps.

    New Normal Mag Drop?

    PA28R-180 I have less than 50 hours on two new OH'd mags, new ignition wires, about 100 hrs on a new alternator and all 8 spark plugs were swapped out maybe 3 weeks ago. However, when I do a mag check, I see a drop of around 150-170 rpm on both sides. PoH says up to 150 is ok. But what I...

    Have You Ever Paid Anyone to Interview them for a Job?

    Yes, I understand that and agree with you completely. I deal with this very scenario twice a week with my CFII. He charges me for the full time of his being present with me during my lesson: unpacking the plane (removing covers, etc.), flight planning, the flight itself and then putting the...

    Have You Ever Paid Anyone to Interview them for a Job?

    The difference being is the bolded section: you were hired for a specific item. What you describe is perfectly legitimate to charge for.

    Flight following and Class Charlie airspace

    To answer the OP's original question: Your situation was the exact situation I encountered while in flight. On FF, about to cross into Class C. Out of an abundance of caution, I orbited before entering C and confirmed I was "cleared through." The controller confirmed for me at that moment that...

    Have You Ever Paid Anyone to Interview them for a Job?

    If that were the case, then I imagine an 'itemized bill' would outline those items that were actually taught. If the CFII can't (conceptually) write an invoice indicating, "I taught this, that etc" then what is he billing him for? A CFII is not a Lawyer. Meaning that he is not paid for his...
