    Becoming an AMT (A&P) through OJT

    The original thread is too old so I'll start a new one... I came here to ask a question about the timeframes for taking the two tests when going the OJT route. I had previously been told that I should wait until my 30 months are up before taking the tests—at which point I should take both...

    Pry bar found under engine cowling when I removed it.

    It certainly wasn't their the last time I had it off and it hasn't been in the shop for engine maintenance since. No idea when that could've been placed there, but the airport's service that does towing did crack my wheel fairing so it was in their shop to replace it. I see no reason why they...

    Looking for decent Heading Indicator for PA-32

    I am need of a vacuum heading indicator with a bug for a PA-32-300. Used or refurbished is perfect fine for a vacuum unit. A Garmin GI 275 and other digital units are not an option for me right now. Is there an online seller that you prefer for this kind of purchase? Thank you for your assistance.

    Rain pooling in back of cabin

    I have a PA-32-300 at a tiedown. I just moved from a dry climate to a wet one and now have an issue with rain water getting in the cabin. So far I haven't been able to find the leak but my plan is to try again on Friday when it's not raining by removing the the inside panels and using a...

    PA-32/300 Fuel Tank SB646A - how much did it cost you?

    Have you had the service bulletin SB646A: Fuel Tank Vent Modification and vent Hose Replacement completed? And SB1006: Corrosion Inspection of Main Fuel Tanks, (because they kind of go hand in hand). How much did this cost for you? And how long did this service take? I’m asking because I’m...

    GoPro Audio-In?

    Unless I'm wrong, there's no way to get my GoPro to connect to my Garmin GMA 345's Bluetooth to push audio to the video feed. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/506609 I see that there are some wired options available that work by using both a GoPro adapter for splitting the USB-C input into...

    Best Methods for Cooling an Engine?

    I have a PA-32-300 which means that I need to adjust the prop, RPMs and manifold pressure as I'm climbing, cooling before descending, and descending. I was taught to start by dropping 2 inches every 2 minutes until I get to 20, at which point I can start my descent without risk to damaging the...

    Low-cost fuel prices: Slow to update or bait-&-switch?

    I've only encountered this a couple times but I'm bringing it up now because I've also only encountered it in one direction: do you think these prices are slow to update to steer people to the airport to buy fuel. One recent example of this is KTCY. They are showing $4.05 on Foreflight, so I...

    Piper Conversion to a Single Piece Windshield?

    I need to replace my windshield. It's still 2 piece on my PA-32. Personally, I kinda like the beam in the center, but I'm still going to do some homework before I discount the option of moving to a single windshield. I was wondering if anyone here has gone that route and if they liked it. I...

    Carbon Fiber (CF) to Replace Plastic in Interior

    Greetings. I was wondering if this is something I can do myself (so long as I use an approved flame-retardant resin), if a shop needs to do it (not even sure where to find one), or if this simply isn't possible for a 40 year old plane. CF isn't cheap compared to plastic, but when talking about...

    What is the best way to go about getting started with a complete glass panel upgrade?

    First let's imagine that money is no object (it is, but let's take that out of the equation for a moment, if we can). I have an old Cherokee 6/300 with hardly anything new from when it was first built. There is an old ADS-B out, but that's about it, I think. Some of the things I'd like to do...

    Only one Piper yoke is wired for the comms

    My apologies if this has already been answered, but I'm new to this forum and the aviation world, so I may not be searching effectively at this point. I have acquired a 1979 Cherokee Six 300, but only the left yoke has a mic switch. The right yoke has a cavity in the left side with a metal...
