    0-200A crankcase breathing

    The special fitting mentioned is an option on the 0-300 series as well. It forces the oil to separate as if in a centrifuge when exiting the crankcase. An optional additional method to reduce the slight drip from the breather is to route the outlet hose or tube higher on the rear baffle so the...

    Filing a Complaint With Local FSDO?

    Good chance the FSDO WILL cite you for flying an unairworthy aircraft. As far as they are concerned it is a civil matter. You hired an inept technician. However, it would seem the technician you should be concerned about is whoever missed or left it in that condition at the annual. And, if you...

    Fouled or Dirty Plugs

    First, the mag drop is unacceptable. This needs to be reconciled. Since it occured after maintenance, likely need timed. And or the e-gap adjusted. Plugs checked as already discussed. Do an inflight lean mag check prior to landing. Do you have the correct plugs. Consider the BY style plugs...

    Are fairings part of Airworthiness?

    I am not sure the point here. Obviously the pilot had a difference of opinion. How did the FAA get involved? An aircraft with a fresh annual can still be unairworthy. If the pilot has a problem and the FAA finds out it was unairworthy, the pilot will be cited. Low hanging fruit. This has...

    Are fairings part of Airworthiness?

    About an A&P/Inspection Authorization- Makes a safety and airworthiness determination only after an inspection(annual). signs off 337s pretty much that is it. The IA does NOT have the power to examine an aircraft and declare it unairworthy anymore than Joe Poop the rag man. READ Part 43.11...

Landing at a different airport for TSA intrusion before proceeding to the destination. great way...

    Magneto 500 hour

    The SR20 has two Slick 6314 magnetos. I don't have a SR22 manual but would venture a WAG being a Continental powerplant it has two identical Magnetos. There is the possibility the R&L have different drain holes requiring a minor part swap. The Surefly has an engine TBO with essentially no...

    Magneto 500 hour

    If he has an experimental, it could be an option. It would be nice to know what aircraft/engine is involved, however for the basic question, not relevant. However, spending other peoples money sure is fun

    1969 Piper Cherokee alternator?

    The only time I have been denied a ferry permit was by an officious FSDO person requiring all AD's were complied with. Once a couple FSDO guys, one my PMI wanted to inspect the aircraft. It had no transponder and the gear was to be secured down and locked. and I was taking it to a busy Class C...

    Magneto 500 hour

    What service provider did you send the magnetos to? Aircraft Magneto Service is backlogged two plus weeks. They do excellent work! Sometimes, first time owners get an aircraft that has only had the points and condenser replaced in over a thousand hours. You haven't told us a history on yours...

    Sportsman Stol Kit

    My bad. Comments were for the Horton kit. It has a stall fence the flap gap seals are optional. Never installed one without them. I have installed just the flap gap seals. You fly a conventional gear aircraft. Probably use the rudders appropriately. Take your feet off the rudders and see what...
