Thanks for the ideas, and I like the simple compliance record. I am familiar with Adlog and like the way it is presented. Just simple paper in a folder with easy to see compliance history for recurring and applicable AD's.

Of course. The nature of the AD research automatically develops a record list. It 's a challenge to come up with a better way of doing it rather than trust in the third party result set for model. The best idea I can think of right now is templates for a model with likely items. Mechanics trust...

Good idea.

I prefer just a simple list of AD's in a compliance sheet like they used to do back in the old days.

I had to go through 87 ADs to evaulate whether they were applicable to the aircraft I was annualling. In the end there was actually 4 ADs that were relevant to look at each year. Other ADs were already complied with - mostly engine ADs at the last overhaul. The rest were added to the model of...

Also, the search result for AD's for a model from the FAA, or other Regulatory sources will be different based upon their own interpretation. My search will be different than the last IA who did the Annual Inspection. Some just presume that the already existing AD compliance sheet from the past...

Yes - I would be changing how it came from the meanufacturer. Perhaps it will be a minor alteration and just require an entry in the maintenance records for the airframe. I don't see any consequence of doing this - the central air filter will be attached securely regardless. You haven't lived...

A new $20/hour minimum wage for California fast food workers goes into effect in April 2024.

I am in the SF Bay Area and the wage depends on the need. It's hard to find people for General Aviation piston aircraft. A&P schools are pushing the students to the airlines. I find my experienced colleagues to be in an older age group. You can get an idea of the range from jobs advertised...

Hello, I have had more than my share of installing the central air filter with the bolt from the bottom up, trying to thread it into the top housing. I'm not the only one I am sure who have had this wonderful experience. The other day I saw something in a C172N/S where the housing had the bolt...

Lance, the Teslong does look interesting. Self contained unit, no external wifi box or iphone. How is the picutre quality? A problem I have with the vividia is not seeing true colours and quality of picture is dependant on the application I use on my iphone.

I use the ablescope all the time. Articulating for the valves especially the exhaust valve makes it fast. I use my iphone with a wifi adapter and an app I downloaded onto the iphone. So I turn on the ablescope, use my phone to connect to the wifi box, the open the app to view the picture. Dave...

Hello Tom, does the sprayer come with the black connecting line? If not, could you recommend what I can use? Thanks.

Sorry but you just have to keep trying. I find a strap metal wrench near the base of the filter helps. Even a 15 degree movement is good if you can get the thing moving. If not then something drastic like punching a screw driver through the cannister to move it. Otherwise perhaps calling tempest...

You may also want to check the history of your magneto's in your maintenance records.

I use a tool like this for those really hard to remove stripped or tight oil filters. Place it as close to the base as you can, and the metal band tightens as you rotate it to get an even better grip on the filter...
